I understand much about OCD and know that I have many of the major symptoms. My parents won't take me seriously, when I say I think I might have it. I used to think it was certain that I had OCD, but I still have my doubts...can anyone help me figure out before I waste my time getting tested for it?
Some of my signs include:
Repetitive hand washing [I feel the need to wash them if they 'feel dirty to me'].
Nighttime/morning rituals I strictly follow.
When taking notes or tests in school, I have to erase what I wrote over and over again if my writing is crooked or sloppy.
The things on my dresser is set up exactly as I want it and when they are messed up, I have to immediately fix them to perfection.
I often ask my parents to feel my head to check for a fever [also rubbing and poking my stomach when it hurts to see if I gag, meaning I would throw up].
I have aniexty issues over everything. For example, I'm in constant fear of harming myself or people I really care about, even though I know I could never bring myself to actually doing them.
Whenever I feel that germs have gotten into my mouth, I immediately gather all the saliva in my mouth and repetitively spit it out, until I feel no longer contaminated.
I have a terrible feeling of dread if something is not done correctly, or I am pulled away from a task, without completing it. It's my biggest fear that because that happened, something bad will happen, like someone close to me will die, or I will throw up [one of my biggest fears].
When I want something very bad, I repeatedly pray silently to myself, to ensure that I will get it. Or if I'm worried about something bad happening, I keep asking God for it to not happen [this problem distracts me in school a lot].
I save old notes and hall passes, not being able to let myself throw them away.
So to all of you that are actually diagnosed with OCD or positive you have it, please let me know what you think!
Oh, and I was wondering what you have to do to be tested? What's it like?
