Hey everyone! I am new to the group, just signed up today. I've always known I had thoughts that were "weird" or different from other people, but until a few years ago I never considered OCD. I have talked to my doctor about it and based on what I told her she says I do have OCD, but as long as it isnt interfering dramatically with my ability to get through the day then it isnt a big deal. Most of my obsessive tendencies are neatness or hygiene related. Everything has to be clean, I worry a lot about germs (I wash my hands at least once and hour and I have to rewash 3 times in a row) Items like books and movies have to be in alphabetical order, or in its right place.

Some other things I have are strange thoughts. Like whenever I am driving I have weird visions or daydreams of bad car accidents or things like that. For example, when I drive home I always go under some overpasses, and I always vision someone above me jumping off the bridge and landing on my windshield. Those are just an example of weird thoughts. I also have irrational fears about getting in car accidents, planes crashing etc. Does anyone else deal with that? Does it mean I should do anything about it??

I appreciate anyone's opinions
