It's harder every day
- Hi, im 15 and my OCD started I thing 3 or 4 years ago. At first everything had to be symmetrical and in order sometimes from small to big or according to colors. Now, that doesn't bother me much but touching things does. Sometimes when I am watching tv I find myself touching a button over and over and I cant stop unless I throw the control away from me.and sometimes if I touch something with one hand j have to do it with the other too. It's not about bad luck Or anything to me. It just really bothers me and I don't know how to deal with it so please help if you know how I can.

what kind of OCD do i have
- i think my ocd is complete opposite from everyone else's because when people spell stuff wrong on facebook or youtube i get frustrated and have to tell them what typo's they made, and also when i clean my room i sit there trying to think of ways to organize which drives me crazy cause everytime i try i just waste time and my room is never clean, and i also hoard those little silver things ontop of soda cans i have already 103

OCD
- Ive had OCD symptoms since i can remember. I don't really let it bother me but I remember when I was young, I would touch the floor when playing football if i had touched it before and when playing tag i would try and tag the person who tagged me because they touched me last. It sounds crazy but yeah, making some crazy superstition in my head that will happen if I dont do it. Oh the complexity of the human mind..

I hate OCD
- I had OCD from the age of 9 to the age 12 and I am 15 now and I am completely over it. I had to touch everything a even number , and if it was an odd number then something bad would happen - Like that i would kill someone or go to hell. My mind kept telling me I had to touch things over and over and it drove me mad! I would scream and cry when i would have to do something 50 times! I got so mad that i just said "F%#* THIS CRAP!!! IM DONE!!" And i just ignored everything my mind was telling me. At first it was hard, because i would think about the thing that i didnt do all day. But i was so fed up with it all that i didnt care anymore. I decided to try to live a normal life and ignore all my thoughts forever. . . . Now years later i realize that nothing has happened. I didnt kill someone or go crazy because I didnt touch something. I feel stupid because all my whole OCD was just me bored talking to myself. Haha, just ignore your OCD guys :)

Germs...Is it OCD?
- Ever since last year, I hated germs. If I lay on my couch and my skin (legs,arms,feet,hair,etc,) I had to wash it off or take a shower! I am 12 and I take a shower every single night because I hate germs. But the thing is I don't care about germs as much when I am not going to sleep in my bad at night. I don't care as much at sleepovers. I only care when I have to sleep in my own bed! Is this OCD???????

Recovery
- I have sexual ocd and any thing sexually disturbing won't leave my head and but I've gotten over this before. I pray I have another recovery and will be able to fight the shit its telling me without offing myself.

Help!
- Help! I think I have OCD, but I'm not sure. I have a habit of needing everything to be exactly perfect or in place. I only have a small habit of being clean, but I have a HUGE habit of needing everything to be clean. I think I've had OCD for half a year and I can't live with it. I just don't want to do anything anymore. My dad wants me to go to Stanford, and I want to, but because of the habit of wanting to have everything perfect, I just don't want to anymore. For example, when I use my iTouch, I always clean the screen, then I always need the app store to be perfect, for example, the search category has to have nothing in it, and the top 25 apps category needs to be in the top paid category. Last of all, compare my typing grammar to the others above! It is almost perfect!!! Capitalizing, punctuation, everything!!! Help!!! I want to commit suicide, but at the same time, I don't. It might be because of stress or something. Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know what your going through
- Im 14 and i got ocd when i was like 12 or 11. It started when would jump over the floor in front of the kitchen i didnt know why i did it soon it turned to a habit. Then my mind started making crazy thoughts like if i touched this or stepped on something then something bad will happen. Now when i walk i cant step on anything i tap things and climb over stairs. It even effects my writing if i write a circle i wont fully draw it because i think something bads going to happen. I hate waking up everyday dealing with it its retarded sometimes i cry.

crazy
- i feel like everything has to be even or its not good enough. i buy things in even numbers. i count in my head how many steps i take to the bathroom and the next time when i go to the bathroom it has to be that same number if i was over by one step i have to jump so to make just one step instead of 2 and lately i have to have 2 rolls of toilet paper and both used at the same time and they have to be in the same size. i didnt really think of it until one day we were at a friends drinking, i went to use the bathroom and told him to take oput another roll of toilet tissue out and that everyone should use it until its the same size as the old one. before that they caught me caunting my steps. they all just stared at me like i was crazy.
