I do NOT have the major symptoms of OCD (counting things, washing hands or doing other routines obsessively, etc.) However, I do sometimes suffer major anxiety over little things that no one else would notice, but I notice. For example, a purse that I bought had a tiny, miniscule, unnoticeable (except by me, when I look very closely) scratch on the brass buckle, and I obsessed over it like crazy! Everyone told me you could barely see it, but yet I let it bother me for weeks. It's only when I buy new things, whether it's clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc. I will find something wrong with it, usually it is barely noticeable, like a tiny scratch that nobody will even see, and I fixate on it. It has to be perfect. Usually I just end up making myself miserable. Is this OCD? Its the only OCD-ish symptom I would have? Thanks for any answers. Serious answers only, please! Ive used Yahoo answers before, and some people can be mean in their responses. Just looking for answers.
