Ocd?? - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Message Board

Me:

27 yrs. old
Obsessive thoughts
Worry a lot
Catch myself talking to myself (in my mind) and than I don't even remember what I was saying
Count numbers in my head or say the alphabet and than wonder why I am doing it
Repeat things in my mind over and over until I realise I am doing it and than I dont even remember what I was repeating
Can't consentrate
In dazes alot
I panic and get worked up about timeing and schedule
Need to do certain things in a certain order and if someone messes it up I get worked up
Plan everything out and get worked up if it gets ruined
Need to be told things step by step

etc.

What is wrong with me? This was hard for me to do, I know it sounds stupid. Someone I know thinks that I have OCD because they notice how I get all worked up if my schedule is off and because I like to know things step by step. I hope this is making sence, I think I am repeating myself, but I am nervous. Sorry. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

I really appreciate it.
Can I ask what some of your symptoms are?
Good luck.

Anyone else have any suggestions for me?

Oh- the thing about talking to yourself and not realizing it- do it all the time! I'll begin to make up conversations/scenarios between my cartoon characters, acting out the different lines in my head, but then I catch myself doing it, and I couldn't even tell you when I started. I'm also in a daze a lot b/c I'm usually lost in my own mind, unaware of what's going on around me. I also will randomly start making patterns or rhythms with my pen or feet, and I don't realize that, either. I also will get songs in my head- don't know why my brain will select a certain song- and before long, I'll realize that it's playing in the back of my head. And, of course, it's always songs that repeat and loop back to the beginning over and over...

Thanks so much. That sounds a lot like me. I do the pattern thing too but mostly in my mind. And what you said about the songs, that's the exact same thing I do. So, do you have OCD and do you think I do?
