Hi all my life i have had excessive worries like i used to worry i had cancer, then i worried i was gay, then i used to freak out because i thought i was going blind and everyone knew but me, then i worried i was pregnant, then i thought i had aids and used to have thoughts that i was like really skinny and i used to feel like that then, then I was worried i was a man trapped in a woman's body, that seemed soo real at the time i was convinced i actually wanted to be a man..then i was worried i was going insane and would get intrusive thoughts about awful stuff such as worms coming out of my eyes (as i heard someone who had psychosis used to think this) i actually believed i thought there was worms under my eyes eventually, and worried i would have the urge to pull my eyes out, i would then get an anxiety attack, i knew deep down i really didn't believe that, but something was making me believe it was true. I also suffered from anorexia, the last condition i had was i believed i wanted to be a man, then i developed what may be HOCD which seemed really real, then the wanting to be a man thing disappeared and i developed a different more disturbing fear (which began as an awful, horrible dream) then when i woke i thought omg, do i actually think that? then i began thinking that, and would have horrible thoughts which made me feel even worse, it seems so real, this worry, that i'm worried it is real, and if it is i'd rather die. Do you think i have OCD or do i have OCD and the last worry be the only one thats true..even though my other worries seemed as real at the time too.HELP

I am adding onto my previous one. at night, i have to have every single door closed. Often, i will check it many times before finally believing it is really shut. It is the same thing with windows or drapes. If it isn't shut, I automatically think that someone will come out and kill me. I then obsess with that idea, and refuse to look at that open window, drape, or door. I also have to have it perfectly dark. even if it is pitch black, i will think that somewhere, a light is still on, and look around several times to find it. once again, do i have OCD?

i am a teen, and i have this one annoying weird habit. if i'm holding something, my empty hand feels funny, because its not holding anything. i feel guilty, and switch the item. then my other hand does the same thing, and it keeps going until someone makes me stop (then both hands feel funny) or I'm forced to put the object down somewhere (where both my hands still feel funny). i do it with almost everything, except writing. I do it with tapping my feet. i do it with eating. i do it with everything. i can't stop, because i feel guilty if i don't do it. i've tried, but gave up. do i have OCD?

Everyday I always have the same thoughts over and over and sometimes I can't sleep. I sometimes think of disturbing things that I know are wrong. It often involves things I know everyone around me would gasp if they knew. I also do some weird things. Like for example if I tap my right foot three times,I have to tap my left foot three times, then the right again, over and over until eventually I think they are even. I used to think it was what everyone did. But I learned differently by searching it up on the Internet. I think I might have OCD! All the little things i do adds up and drive me crazy,i get massive headaches and to the point where these compulsions sometimes make me cry because I can't not do them. I got up enough courage to tell my mom about it and she practically laughed in my face,and said she's seen worse. I wish she could know how i really feel, it's killing me.I am a teen and I don't know what to do.

dear Anonymous , I most likely have OCD. If you have OCD, the thoughts occur every day for at least an hour every day. I'm pretty sure you don't have it, but I'm not a doctor, so you could still ask a doctor :D. I'm thinking the reason you have those thoughts is, you know how sometimes you tell your brain "do not think about this" and your brain disobeys you? So, I would suggest when you feel those thoughts coming, just ignore them, don't tell your brain to stop, and that might work. Sometimes my brain does the same thing as yours does. By the way I'm being tested soon to see if I have OCD..I probably do. I hope I helped! ~H.D.Y

i'm not exactly sure if i have OCD... but i always have these thoughts that are the opposite of what i really think/believe and i can't get them out of my head. for example, someone i love and know i love, or someone who i don't have any problem with at all, these thoughts come into my head saying i hate them even though i know i don't. things like these don't occur every day, but they do every now and then. could i have obsessive compulsive disorder?

Ive been going through a divorce and my ex wants to take custody of our son. When I read all his demands I couldnt stop thinking about it. I found myself the days after thinking about what he wanted and pacing all around the house. It's like I get so into what im thinking that Im not paying attention to anything else. But Ive noticed that Ive done it before with different situations. sometimes I feel like I drag things on and on. Could this mean that I have an obssesive-copulsive disorder(ocd).
