I'm new to this and to this forum and I took the Sanity quiz, and it said that I may have OCD, so I took the OCD quiz and I got a 22. Anyway, I have noticed a few things over time and had a few people say some things that would make me think about it. But I never really took it as it being something serious, until now. Here are some of the things that I and other people have noticed. When I go to the grocery store, and I have to have my items in the buggy a certain way, not the same way every time, but a certain way at that point, but when I go to the check out line they do have to be on the belt in a certain order, and also when I put them in my pantry. When I go to put my dishes up, I count my glasses, only glasses, and only the plastic ones?? I absolutely hate drinking after someone, except my boyfriend that doesn't bother me at all, I know it's gross but I can't stand the thought I drinking someone else's spit, it just grosses me out, and I freak out if someone tries to drink out of my drink, doesn't matter who it is. I don't like to get my hands dirty, I don't constantly wash them every minute, but if I have a chance in between doing something even if I'm not through I will wash them, but that's only if it's like dirt or something I can see or feel on them. I hate going bare footed or wearing flip flops because I hate getting dirt, or feeling something on my feet. (sand mostly, I live in south Alabama, so it's mostly sand here) If I'm writing or tying something and I mess up or I don't like the way it's written or sounds, I'll rewrite, even if it's a whole page. Sometimes I feel like I just have to touch something, or someone, this is a big issue because I'm all the time picking at something, whether on me or someone else, like bumps or scabs, it's like I have to pick at them, this sometimes I can't stop, and this does interfere with my life because my boyfriend gets mad when I keep on after being asked several times to stop. There are some things I use to do but don't do as much anymore, like hanging my clothes a certain way in the closet, I still do it but not all the time, just sometimes I feel like I have to. But I do fold everything a certain way, and expect everyone else to fold it that way too, and if they don't I get aggravated. These things don't cause a major problem in my life I don't feel like, but I don't really know much about the condition. Does it progressively get worse over time, and if so should I do something about it now before it gets worse????
Thanks for this!

Hi!

Yes, it could get worse and yes, you need to find yourself a therapist who deals with behavioral issues. You sound like a very intelligent young woman, be best to seek help soon! Please, get help!

I wish you the very Best!

Does anyone else suffer a co-morbidity of OCD & ADHD-Inattentive? I wonder how common this pair of afflictions is.
