Question
Hi, I was wondering whether anyone could help.
I have these thoughts which pop up in my head. These thoughts often happen after I've done something, i.e. lock the door (before i go to school) My mind keeps on telling me to go and check. When i leave from checking it, i have to do it over and over again. I have tried to ignore these thoughts and continue what i am doing, eventually i have to check it otherwise i get very stressed. I also have this perfection problem, where everything has to be immaculate and in alphabetical order (I.e.DVDS).
This has been happening for a week now, and i do not know what to do.
Please say whether you think I have OCD and what you would recommend.
Answer
Hi,
Based on the above I can't tell you if you have OCD. Also as I am online I can't tell you if you have OCD. Your doctor can give you a test. Can I ask your age? I have a few more questions if you want regarding this issue you speak of. But, honestly I cannot label you, and I don't think any of my coworkers should either at this time. Please ask follow ups
Talk to your doctor.
