Dear Rebound what you are describing sound like what theydeem to be
"Classic obsessive compulsive behaviour" as i have been a diagnosed member for about a decade now, but however i am not going to justify it by analyzing that you have it,as i am not a therapist but your symptons seem to run Parallel with a lot of mine as well as with other other participants on this site..My OCD became more apparent in its so defined form (unbeknown to me at the time it was happenin) when i was under enormous pressure at work and ended being fired from work.This is what rocked the boat and ended up having a breakdown on top of it.However after I had been diagnosed with having it, I reflected back on my behaviour over many stages of my life and somehow concluded that i even had it as a child....I was always unusually odd to the rest of my peers at school as far as germs were concerned and contamination. In my young adulthood i was always conastantly bombarded with intrusive thoughts(ie like blasphemous outbursts during a sermon at church)....and so many others i could mention and still prevelant now...when i got my drivers licence I was (and still to this present day) thought that i would run down a pedestrian or cyclist on the way to work and not know it........ and i would arrive at home or work and inspect my car for damage over and over and go back to the "
supposedly" scene of the crime and check and look for this
Psuedo dead or injured body and if that wasnt enough i would listen to the hourly news on updates....it was and still is controlling my lifeto date this particular sympton ......some symptons are just fleeting and eventually get over ridden with others more imporatant with eternal severe obsessions that stay with me and nothing can emancipate me from them.....(i have so many clasifications of them but i wont stress and bore you about me)But please get a thorough analysis first before you burden yourself with worry......Please take care and wish you all the best in health.
