Re: Is this OCD?

Hi Kristen,

I think we need a bit more info. I have not heard of what you are doing. Maybe it is just a habit...? Just don't do it for a few days, and see what happens.

Okay well... It may just be a habit i dunno, i do it even when i dont think about it but last night i tried not placeing it in my left hand but its like i couldnt.... it didnt feel right. Also, when I clean everything has a spot, an exact spot.... I have to place everything in the same spot everytime i clean. If I get something new I have to find new places for everything, and then I keep it like that until something new. When someone trys to help me clean its like it drives me mad.. i seriously feel very tensed. Its like that when I cook too, no one can help me. Even if I want the help with cleaning or cooking i cant take them not doing it the way i think it should be done. Maybe its just my routine.... Im use to it and dont like when it changes.... i really dont know. I didnt even really notice how I picked up my food/spoon/fork until my boyfriend pointed it out to me. Oh and when someone does clean i always go from room to room replacing everything in the order i think it should be in. So yeah.... maybe this is a little more information that could help.

Oh yeah- i failed to mention, when i find something on the internet.... like this website or anything such as this.... i cant stop looking at it.... i can sit here for hours on end looking up things that has nothing to do with me. for example, i was on my space the other day and i ran across people who has spaces for their animals and i couldnt stop browseing threw them. It wasnt because i thought these animals were cute or whatnot.... its like that with many things. I just felt the need to keep looking at them all until i didnt see one i hadnt seen yet...

Kristen-

You might just have a habit as far as picking up a fork since we all have different habits and quirks. If you find that you 'don't feel right' or you just 'have to do it or something bad will happen' or you notice that it creates alot of anxiety if you don't do it, then you most likely are exhibiting symptoms of OCD or a GAD. If you can just stop and not have any anxiety and it doesn't bother you and you find that you're not thinking about it at all, I would simply say that it's just a habit.

If you notice yourself doing these little rituals in other areas of your life or at your home, I would recommend going to see a Cognitive Behavioral Specialist to get an acurate diagnosis.

Good luck!
