So I think I have OCD...

College Confidential Community

<p>…Because I repeatedly have thoughts that are crazy and not like myself (weird thoughts about opposite sex–I am not straight–that are disturbing,) weird worries that take years to get rid of, have to erase and rewrite things like 10 times or I go insane, spin around on the platform between two stair sets or else I can’t live, land on my right foot when landing on the floor from the steps…among many other things…</p>

<p>Does this sound very OCD like?</p>

<p>I think it may be something more than OCD. You should seek help. And I am serious. Are you taking any illegal drugs?</p>

<p>It sounds like typical OCD symptoms. I have it, and so does my sister. I’ve been taking a drug called Paxil for it for over three years now. I’m never completely free of OCD, but I’m a damn sight better. The things I used to worry about, obsess over until I was sick, my daily “rituals” (believe it or not, I used to do the stair thing as well!)… gone, pretty much. I can actually laugh about it these days.</p>

<p>Just schedule an appointment with your doctor, honestly tell him/her what you’re experiencing (they hear it more than you might think), and they’ll diagnose it. OCD is very common and highly treatable. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Maybe. But if you like who you are and it hasn’t hurt your ability to function in real life, then you don’t have a problem.</p>
