Hi, im new to health boards. I was just wondering how to ask a doctor about being reccomended for and OCD diagnosis. Im 99% sure that i have it; i check locks and burners and lights, the left hand must do the same as the right, i think about terrible things happening, if there is a knife on the table i think wow i could kill ____(who ever is standing there) even though i love them and would never do that. I trace the suit jackets with my eyes on tv, and trace the outlife of peole's eyes also. Im sick of this but afraid. I hoard things, and have social anxiety. Im terrified if im int he dark, and everythign has to be in order. I have to be interupteed in the middle of a notrmal routine, and if i itch one side of my face, i have to itch the other. Is this OCD? Im afraid that the dotors will say you dont have this and i will have to live with this forever. My parents dont know half of what i do but im scared they wont believe me cuz my friends dont. Please help.

hello and welcome, i found your post very interesting, and it does sound like ocd, its nothing to be ashamed of you would be surprised how many millions have the same condition, i would muster up the courage and give your doctor a visit, im sure he has delt with it before, make a copy of your post and hand it to him.good luck

I agree, its best to tell someone before it gets worse. I cant imagine a doctor saying that is not OCD with what you have described.
