I have been battling with OCD for as long as I can remember, never thought of it as a problem, then about a month or so ago I got dxd with BipolarII. The intrusive thoughts that go along with my OCD are spinning out of control, and I have decided to tell my pdoc today. Thing is, I've been visiting and revisiting the borderline site quite often in the last 2 months, as I relate so much to the topics that are posted here...
Guess the point is, should I tell my pdoc about this too? That I fit the borderline description? That I relate to what borderliners suffer through on a daily basis, life-wise and relationship - wise? I'm scared he's going to be like my parents and think I'm just looking for things to be wrong with me ( yes, that's what I've been hearing my entire life) Maybe I should just confess to the OCD today and leave the borderline a question mark for now? I don't know, I just don't know, I just want to be better you know? I just want to be the best me I can be, for now I guess I have to settle for which ever me I wake up to be...

hi there . . .
so many of these diagnosis intermingle. self diagnosis isnt always wrong, but i would leave it to the professionals. when you go to any of your appointments, lay it ALL out there for them to review and discuss. do not judge yourself or let others judge you (in that you may or may not be looking for things wrong with you). at least you are seeking help and that is very brave and important. TGC (plz forgive me i am new to this site) |

What did your pdoc say?
I don't think I have OCD - what are you symptoms - but I definitely relate to the BPD

My OCD has always been very boring, and under control
 I can't stand odd numbers (even the volume on the tv set has to be an even number) I used to wash my feet at least 6 times a day, (thank God I'm an adult now, and have to work. it was difficult, but I brought it down to twice a day) I do things in a repetitive manner... (this is sO irritating, I wish I didn't feel so compelled to, but it's easier to give in, than ti fight the compulsion) I have routines that happen "automatically", I'm obsessive about having my things packed according to color co-ordination. It's like I'm obsessive about balance or something...That's the best I can describe it... Then there are the repetition that happens in my mind...They're the most irritating  I think about death constantly and very casually (no anxiety, no negativity, just different ways to die. My most creative death thoughts occur in moving vehicles) Sometimes they're just plane stupid!I also have silly mind games ( which I have zero idea on how to elaborate on) that I CANNOT stop playing with myself. They started when I was a child, to pass the time on long trips, and now they just won't go away, they irritate me to know end, and are possibly more habitual than OCD, but the compulsion to play them, fits the OCD portrait. ( Should look into this further) I probably left some stuff out, my mind is a little all over the place... will get back to you suga when I remember the rest

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
