Okay so I have anxiety disorders, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, they're really bad to the extreme. I've had them for a few years.
In the past year, I started getting very awful intrusive thoughts that absolutely disgusted me and I didn't like these thoughts at all and it made me concerned that I was some weirdo but I knew I wasnt. I would never want to hurt my younger sister in anyway.
then I started rearanging things. I rearranged my room about 20 times in the past 6 months. At night usually I'll get this urge, I'll tear everything up in the process of moving my dressers, bed, wall shelves, everything will be scattered in the process and I'll become frustrated after everythings organized I'll be unhappy with the way it looks and spend another 2-3 hours putting it back where it originally was and organizing it. I waste alot of time doing this. I also make alot of lists about things I might forget even though I know I wont forget, and I have to rewrite the lists about a dozen times because I wont be happy with them. I also check the stove when I know its off, but I wanna make sure because I think what if it is on. when I leave the house I get worried about what may happen, I feel the need to go back to check if the doors locked,stoves off, that nothings near the heater.
Could this just be happening because of my anxiety disorders that I have??
Thanks

I think the best thing to do is bring this up to a T and see if you are able to get an evaluation done. OCD is classified as an anxiety disorder, and it isn't uncommon to have GAD, social anxiety, etc, paired with OCD.

Sounds like it could be. Explain what you've just explained to us to a p doc.

The cool thing about anxiety disorders is that they all use essentially the same meds (SSRI's) to treat, so you can kill two birds with one stone.
