Hello!
I'd like someone to tell me if I have OCD or at least, what's wrong with me. I don't think I'm ready to go to a doctor.
I've noticed I'm a bit masochistic, I want to hurt myself and so.. but that's not my obsession-compulsion thing....:
Sometimes I'm thinking how easy it would be to kill someone, or make a suicide. I don't want to die anyway. But IF I'm standing on a bridge, IF I have scissors in my hand...how easy. The thing that stops me is that then I should go to jail.
Other things...stronger things in my head are counting words I read, write or hear. Sometimes it's terrible. The numbers can never be 2,4,6,8... I hate those numbers. So I have to think just a part of a sentence, where are 1,3,5,7... words.
I have to touch things in the right way... step, read a text in my mind in the right way and do it over and over if it doesn't work.
Sometimes I really feel someone's following me behind my back or is under my bed.
The things on the table are not allowed to be put to touch each other.
When I was younger I had to write some sentences/words so many times, perfectly, I think.
I don't know if you got this. Those things don't seem to take so long time of my day or then I just don't notice because I can do other things meanwhile. They don't seem to make my life harder but sometimes there are those situations and well, I'm a bit distressed or fiery.
I don't know where this belongs to but I hope somebody could tell me ... if I should know something, going to a doctor? Do you feel I have something mental...?
Thanks for your time, have a good day.

i don't know if you have OCD. Really,only mental health provider can say that. Either way, if you have something mental, that's okay. I think everybody has a bit of anxiety. When you're ready, why don't you see a physician (your primary or a psychiatrist) or a therapist.
I wish you the best.

Hi Tiirikka, if I were you I would go to a therapist so that your life can be easier.

Thank you all for responding.
I'm thinkin about a therapist or something..at least if my life turns worse OCD ?
It's nice that there are some people that may know about these things..in their life or then in someone other's.

Whether or not you're OCD, a therapist is a great support system. Some times it takes a while to find one that "clicks" for you but when you do the relationship will enhance every aspect of your life.
Good luck,
Angel
