ok what makes me think that i do have OCD is that i have a obsessive thoughts and i have sever compulsions.
my obsessive thoughts are sexual in nature and never give me peace. ive had them as far back as i can remember, to my young childhood. ive always wanted to get rid of them, i feel like they take up a lot of my brain power and time.
as for my compulsions, i have one in particular that stands out. you know those tags that come on clothes and linens? i have to have one in my hands, or at the very least near me at all times. if i dont i start to get anxious and panic. i rub them to make certain sounds or to enjoy the feeling, but im constantly rubbing them. its become very difficult. it drives my bf absolutely insane when i do, and its led me to start stealing pother people tags from their clothes and linens, which bothers them. another compulsion that i have is finger nail biting, which can interfere with some things. for instance, while writing this post, a mind consuming task that keeps me busy, ive stopped about 3 times to bite my nails. 4.
there are other things, such as my obsession with washing my face, but those arent as serious.
what makes me think that i dont have OCD though, is that i dont exhibit the usual signs... im very messy... and well, thats it. im, afraid that im taking a few random habits and twisting them to fit into my idea of what ocd should be, in order to get attention.
i should also mention that ive taken the sanity score twice now and both times the OCD part has come out over 75%
a 3rd parties veiw would be greatly appreciated
