rocketman089 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Being a health freak doesn't mean you're OCD. Not even close. I don't know anyone with genuine OCD but the programs I've seen on it are pretty sad. These kids had anxiety attacks if they didn't check the locks a dozen times or wash their hands every 5 minutes. I don't doubt that you're probably more health conscious about your hands, but being "ocd" about something and actually having OCD are really two different things.

Althalus Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I can't stress enough how not OCD you are. OCD would be if your friends told you to go somewhere with them and you refused to do so until the task you're obsessed with is done. I'm not talking about small random things that bug you (e.g. the mouse stinks, an object isn't where you'd like it to be). I'm talking about you haven't washed your hands 3 times yet. When you go to a movie do you get up every 30 seconds to do something that really irks you? Probably not. Just stop it. Q F Smegging T. Jesus Christ, QFT. This is what I do, and this is a form of OCD, so F smegging you. Answer me this question: do you get up regularly at odd times during the day when you're supposed to be doing something else (e.g. sitting in class, watching a movie etc.) just to wash your hands? My mom works with someone who will literally knock you down if you get in the way of him and a drain. He has OCD and he's obsessed with spitting down drains. If he sees a drain he HAS TO spit in it. If your question to the above answer is anything but yes (e.g. maybe, sometimes, not always) you're not OCD. I think OCD is the one syndrome people actually want to have, but in reality it's horrible to have. If you think you had it why would you ask us how to get rid of it? You should know that you'll have to live with it for the rest of your life. I'm done with this topic. Stop telling people IRL that you're OCD. If you know people that claim their OCD and haven't actually seen a doctor who told them, tell them their not. Thanks. P.S. - Self-diagnosis is one of my biggest pet peeves.

ThurinEthir Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Germaphobia/Misophobia or whatever the correct term is not the only symptom of OCD. Unless you have a lot of the other symptoms of OCD (See Goddess's post for a few of them) then there is no chance you have OCD. And besides, it's not uncommon for people to wash their hands after touching something that might have germs on it. @Goddess I agree with you for the most part, but one little thing I'd like to comment on. I'm assuming you were talking to the OP, and not to the general OT community. But if you were, then I wouldn't act like no one else here has OCD. Even though it's rather rare (I think), there might just be someone else here with it. Who knows. But eh, doesn't really matter.

TotalTalker Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 In the article I posted the URL to, it says that the girl in it needs to wash her hands after having a meal, etc.. And that she doesnt touch handles sometimes incase she catches germs. Well I do these things most of the time, and it says that this is OCD. I made this thread to tell people about this, because the article outlines a few of the things that I do, and it says that it is OCD. But I didnt make this article to receive criticism from people who more than likely dont know what they are on about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I may not be an expert on OCD, but I'm pretty sure I know more about it than you do. Cenin pân nîd, istan pân nîd, dan nin ú-cenich, nin ú-istach.Ithil luin eria vi menel caran...Tîn dan delu.

Darksavior69 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Man, you guys are pretty OCD about this OCD thing.
