OCD suffering tropers, assemble!

I don't know where that came from, but that kind of stuff drives me crazy.

Sorry, my response was towards Electric. The internet takes some stress out of social situations, I suppose.

Oh, I know where it was directed. It just gave me a small "What the heck" moment.

Argh... OCD just spiked.

Its not much fun. Try Behavior Therapy.

I can't really right now, it's 2am in the morning and i dont have anyone to do that with.

But hopefully it'll go....soon

No no, Behavior Therapy does not require other people. Behavior Therapy is training yourself to not give into OCD.

Live, thread. Live.

I've been having a bit of a rough OCD time.

My new gender identity + OCD creates a lot of doubts and friction.

But i'm coping.

I know the feel. My OCD has been highly frustrating lately...

My OCD went off the charts when I first arrived in Uni (which is located in an other town). Thankfully, it has now returned to almost nonexistant levels. Thank psychotherapy for that!

I am definetly OCD, everything in my room must be put in a orderly fashion. I must have a schedule, must keep my hygiene up to a ridiculous degree. My OCD is especially hell in regards to my schoolwork as I percieve try your best as try to make this as perfect as possible which leads to procrastination or me doing way to much work on something.

I've increased some of my OCD meds and decereased others.....

But it's made my OCD go haywire recently. Ugh

I in Real Life suffer from this condition, although I play it for laughs in this site.

One of the most devastating effects of OCD can be when others don't like you for being so corrective about some things. The most obvious sign of my OCD is my persistent correcting of grammar from others and even myself. Heck, I even end up editing week-old posts in this forum when I notice I've done a typo, and I usually try my best to not correct others here.

In my house, the signs are even more blatant. My desk always has paper and books to the left, and pens, markers, and the like to the right. I can't put it anywhere else without getting a compulsion to put it back where I believe it should be. Even my stash of colored pencils have to be ordered correctly because I go nuts about it.

Cleanliness can also be a problem. I sometimes end up wasting up to three hours of my free time stashing everything that I left in my room to what I see is right. It can be really disrupting.

I suffer from pure-O. I have a primary obsession, along with several smaller ones, which are prone to fluctuation. A few weeks ago, I even obsessed over obsessing. Time will tell whether I'll ever share my main issue with you guys, because I seriously hate talking about it.

i thought i'd beaten it for now

but no

so exhausted

Is it still the same obsession?

Making typos freaks me out, and I start obsessing over my skills as a writer. So, I try to explain to the other person that I do know how to spell said word, which only makes things worse.

I was diagnosed a while ago. One of my main things is religious OCD, sometimes called scrupulosity. It's kind of a weird area because sometimes seeking treatment for it takes your mind to this silly place where it almost feels like you're being considered crazy for being religious or you feel like you're preaching to your therapist and making them uncomfortable but you kind of have to let them know what you believe because it's related to the thing.

It kind of makes me wonder if I'm somehow drawn into some formal religious debate or some other place where I'd bring up my beliefs whether people would take my opinion more or less seriously because of it. Would they think "what does he know, he's just some nutjob who's always worried he's offending God" or would they think "due to the nature of this guy's OCD, he certainly spends a lot of time thinking about and researching his religion as well as religions in general so, even if I disagree with him, maybe he has a point."

Hey guys.

I have the same problem. It's tough telling the difference between real sins and imaginary ones.

EDIT: My sig is also related. My thoughts couldn't stop making such things so eventually I needed to take a hard stand against them.

Ugh, fucken ocd. I can't have a conversation without mentally picking apart everything the person says, it's exhausting but I can't sleep because I'm too busy analyzing every event of the day! Honestly! Could you cut me some slack?

You guys have no idea how the lack of capitalization in some sentences ticks me off really badly. And now I'm obsessively reordering my shelf and wasting precious time.

Hello

Just noticed this existed.

Welcome to our club. What's your poison?

What do you mean exactly?

I'm more on the "obsessive" side of the spectrum than the "compulsive". It's not too severe for me but it can get quite difficult at times.

That's what I meant, basically. Anyway, you're in good company.
