Okay, so a couple months ago I finally talked to my psych about all of these strange worries, paranoias, and obsessions, and come to find out I have OCD.
Now, I don't know that much about my OCD yet really, but for the past month or so I have been in a state of searching for something. There hasn't been a day where I didn't spend at least 15 minutes looking for something I lost. First, the remote to the television in my bedroom dissapeared. I looked EVERYWHERE. By the time I had given up on that, my ipod was gone. I found the remote, but not the ipod, which I know was in my room. This morning, my car key was missing, so I searched all over the house for it. I ended up needing to get an extra key, tho I found the original after school in my room These are just the major things...I often forget that I just took something into another room within a minute or two... Is this forgetfulness part of OCD??? I'm really annoyed with it and it's getting me reaaallly stressed.... thanks __________________ IDK WTF |

It sounds like you have a bit of a mess and need to figure out where to put things originally so they don't get lost? When I come in the house, my keys go a certain place and that's where they "live". I would look at where you "found" the remote and keys, etc. and why you didn't find them when you looked there before or why they weren't someplace "obvious" (my remote is on the table in front of my chair).
Make the bed so there's nothing under the covers, don't put things on the floor other than furniture legs :-) and put the keys back in the same pockets or purses (mine clip onto my wallet when I'm out). You make me think you have a huge room :-) that so much can get "lost" in it. It doesn't sound forgetful, just chaotic? I carry a pad of post-its with me and write notes when I have to. __________________ "Never give a sword to a man who can't dance." ~Confucius |

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