Could be some sort of OCD?

Question

Ok, I am starting to think I am one of those obsessive compulsive people.. It's like if things, little or big, don't go a certain way I tend to worry more that I would like or just have that constant feeling of "it's not the best way it can be.. I wish it was better.. I want it better". This can be regarding quantity, organization, execution of chores, having stuff I don't use, to do's lists, cleaning..

I would say I am a 5 or 6 in the scale of 1-10, but still is not what I want.. I mean I like things to be done a certain way but don't want to feel kind of down when they are not.

I don't want to just google cold facts of things I probably already know, I feel like reading others real life experiences.

Answer

I honestly think this sounds more like type a personality or a little perfectionism. You could see a psychiatrist for a diagnosis, though.

Answer

I have ocd, my doctor diagnosed me with it when I was 14. I was put on anxiety medicine which didn't really seem to work. I'm not taking the medicine anymore & it still gets to me. I constantly am checking to make sure the doors are shut & locked at night & also making sure my phone is plugged in like 1000x at night. I some times even check under the bed, as crazy as that seems.

Answer

My husband struggles with this. Has his whole life. For him he pushes himself to be uncomfortable and try to work through it. If he doesn't he gets into a cycle and it gets worse. Could be worth a try.

Answer

I'm same way when last minute change comes about its like I dwell on it and I can't let it go. I am not diagnosed ocd but I'm pretty sure i am. Everything u described is me. I think I also struggle with anxiety thanks to ocd and stress. It's no fun. Prob shud go c a dr but I don't want to. Maybe it's my pride bc I feel like after 10 years of military life I shud b use to it by now and with my rank I feel everyone expects me to b able to handle it n going to the dr feels like admitting I can't. Sounds dumb I know. But I'm right there with u.
