I'm glad I could be of help, and no, it's cool if you save them! It's a good list to have! Yeah, I think the Prozac helps with my depression, and that's what's giving me relief, but I don't think it's doing much for the OCD. IDK. I had to go to a neurologist when I was 14 who diagnosed me. I had to fill out a questionaire similar to that, and then my psychiatrist took over. I also got dianosed with ADD, depression and an eating disorder. Great day. Awe. I'm sorry.

It really depends. What happens if you don't do it? Why do you do those things? The activities alone aren't what make it OCD behavior. not me, but my sister gets anxious. she gets a feeling she can't describe like she physically feels uneven or something. i dunno. she describes it better than me.

Posts: 13250 (07/07/2008 2:14 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Block Invite Ignore	And yeah, it usually depends on why you do it and what the thoughts behind the compulsion or obsession, like chewing a certain amount of times, are. And yeah. I have such a hard time lying. I have to tell the truth ALWAYS, or I'm afraid someone is going to die and they'd die thinking something I told them was the truth even though it was a lie, and that causes anxiety if I attempt to lie. Good for my parents and friends, though.

I usually don't do the chewing thing unless I focus on it. If I wasn't on meds I probably would. But its always at the gym, brushing my hair, teeth, the numbers on the tv volume, etc.

That sounds like OCD, the being physically uneven and off.

Posts: 13252 (07/07/2008 2:17 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Block Invite Ignore	Yeah, when I went to talk to my psychiatrist for the first time, he told me that a LOT of people have cases of OCD. Like 2-4% of the population in the US has OCD, but it's just that the range in severity is different. Some people are able to function and some can not. For some people it comes and goes, some people it's always there, etc.. It's so different in everyone.

Posts: 13255 (07/07/2008 2:28 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Block Invite Ignore	Yeah! That's how my sister is, sometimes, and that's frustrating. She's like, "OMG, I'm so OCD," when she's clearly not. I just laugh it off, though. Although, when my nephew was a baby, she always got upset when he got dirty and stuff, because she liked him in clean clothes, so now he's four (a boy, mind you), and he gets really upset if his clothes or shoes get dirty. Like, he'll cry really hard and won't be able to move. It's getting better. I mean, if he gets wet when he's not in a bathing suit, he cries and gets so upset, so I'm always like, "Dude, it's water! It's okay! It'll dry! You're a boy! You're a kid! Get dirty! Shoes are meant to get dirty" and then get dirt on my clothes for his sake. IDK, I worry about if that'll carry on into his teen years, though, on a serious note!

Posts: 13256 (07/07/2008 2:33 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Block Invite Ignore	Awe. I went through that at first. I still do, once in a blue moon. You're not weird. It really is the thoughts. It's not natural, it's a biochemical thing. I mean, we're all slightly weird, but not weird in the OCD-weird by birth. Just the sheer obsessional part of it should let you know that it's not you.

I hate waking up every morning, and going to bed is the best part of my day cause I don't have to worry about my thoguhts. It just sucks though because I do start obsessing about having horrible dreams about my ocd when I'm sleeping. God, i just want to die.

Posts: 176 (07/07/2008 2:44 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Block Invite Ignore	I've been on a lot and I immune to any and all medication. For OCD or not, all the way down to aspirin. So I had that cognitive therapy where youre forced into situations. And then for the most part I got over it. A lot of it stays in my head. (I know that sounds weird) I had a thing with numbers, and left corners. But when I do think about doing a 'ritual' it usually doesnt leave my head. When I get especially stressed it kind of comes out a little. But on the upside of things, I keep things very clean and organized lol.

Sleeping is the highlight of my life, because at least for awhile I have a break, even if I'm not conscious for it. But when I wake up in the morning, it's always back to square one. It's like as soon as I wake up, it's one thing or another, a thought, misery that never went away the night before, immediate anxiety, just not wanting to fucking wake up... etc.. Meh. I'm sorry. :/

Posts: 5467 (07/07/2008 2:49 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Block Invite Ignore	I know how you feel. It's pretty much so bad that you feel like you don't want to live. Living this way is really just not worth it. My only wish in life is to be healthy (or know that I'm healthy) and HAPPY. I don't remember the last time that I woke up and loved life. It's so sad when i have these moments of happiness because they only last a few minutes. I have really bad healthy anxiety which stems from my OCD. I honestly don't know how I'm going to live with this. Hopefully God will answer my prayers.

Posts: 13258 (07/07/2008 2:50 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Block Invite Ignore	I'm kind of scared of cognitive therapy, but I don't think my most troubling thoughts are applicable to cognitive therapy, because they're not really tangible--IDK, like fear of needles or something, where I could touch them. I know the most that could be done is have a story read to me about those things, but I know that wouldn't take the thoughts away in the long run or make them less distressing. Thanks Autumn, I'm so glad we talked about this. Seriously. It made me feel good to know that other people are going through similar things. I hope you feel better and better, too. And same, if you ever want to talk, pop me a PM or something.
