| Think I've been Misdiagnosed.
Hello everyone,
I have Agoraphobia with history of panic attacks, and have dealt with this for a little over 10 years.. the problem with this is I think that I am having panic attacks because of some symptoms I am having that are associated with OCD.
I have been having repetitative thoughts.. if I hear a song, then it plays in my head over and over kind of like a broken record. Its to the point that sometimes it repeats that I cannot sleep bec of it. I am trying to tell myself to stop or to think something else, but I end up having a panic attack sometimes bec of it. Another one is that I have to have things perfect.. if I am writing something and I make a mistake I will rip up the page and start over, I don't like using wite-out. If I am cooking supper and something doesn't turn out I get really upset.
When I was little, I was saved by my preacher over 7 times because I thought that I wasn't saved. Everytime I heard a sound that was like trumpets I thought it was the second coming of christ and I would hurry and get my bible and begin praying. Was this the start of OCD?
Now that I am older, I find myself sometimes checking things...I check on my parents constantly to make sure that they are still breathing at night. I do this about 5 or 6 times and don't feel ok unless I do.
I am going to see my psychiatrist tommorow to see what he thinks, but I need someone who knows what I am going through right now. Can a person have multiple obsessions but have compulsions for some of them and not the others?
Thanks all
Fae
