Is this possible?

Question

Is it possible for someone to have ocd and just be obsessive about things and not have rituals or check things over and over?

I don't know...read my question "am I mentally ill" and tell me what u think

Answer 1

yeah sure it is. i have ocd and there are just certain things that i need to do a certain way and i need stuff to be perfect. like i time my ramen noodles to 3 minutes exactly and if it goes a second over i have to throw them away and start over. haha it's ok to be kinda crazy hunny.

Answer 2

OCD without the C is not OCD. It is obsession. However, the disorder could be under control with meds and therapy : a sort of remission.
The C symptoms are :
1. repetitive behaviors or mental acts that the person feels driven to perform in response to an obsession, or according to rules that must be applied rigidly.
2. the behaviors or mental acts are aimed at preventing or reducing distress or preventing some unrealistic dreaded event or situation
Thanks for the question.Good Luck !

Your talking about phsycosomatic anxiety here. Get to the root cause, clear up the cause your cured. In other words expose your own game about it, look for the sponsoring thought you have that motivates the action then dig deep to where it cames from. an example:-When we are young,we copy and we measure our experiences on a love me /not love me basis because we don't have the intellectual capacity to discern otherwise apart from feels nice or doesnt of which we associate with love (not true), because all parents love their children unconditionally .My father said to me "do you homework then you can go out to play" (not nice/he doesnt love me) what came up for me was 1. your taking my choices away, therefore i want to leave home so i can have my way and consequently end up living in society very righteouss about "my way" and of course you do nothing with righteouss ness except destroy relationship.2. You dominating me, so i grow up in a reality that domination produces results and wonder why it doesnt. 3. Your taking my free choices away, how do you expect me to produce results when i'm under pressure? and 4. father represents authority, so whenever a judge, policeman, teacher or authority figure came into my life i would rebel, as taking peoples choices away causes rebellion. This is also why we seek love by the way. So from that simple command i was carrying all those unconscious issues until i exposed my own game and then i couldnt play it anymore unless i could lie to myself of which one can't. So take a deep look next time you play the same racket and ask yourself, whats behind this action! then take a look at where it came from and find out if its "the truth" then re-evaluate if who your being in doing that reperesents who you are or how effective you come acorss as a person on this plantet and the effect its having on others. In other words if it workks do it, if it doesnt don't. If you do what works you get what works and if you dont then your living in denial..consider it as a possibility ! You could also do some personal growth seminas.
Drugs are not the answer all they do is put an elastoplast on the problem. Get to the root and expose the root, then you cant play it any more be it for attention or otherwise, and that might be your payoff that you get a lot of attention you feel you lacked out on!

Answer 4

ohsure.....
Why be textbook? Just hackneyed....
Obsessive? Do you put a little too much thought into everything? Unwilling to let things go? Alway prepared to blow something out of proportion?

Compulsive? A bit of a death wish? Willing to do the things others are afraid to? Able to rationalize and justify all sorts of behavior?

You don't need to have all your shoes lined up plumb and square or do weird things with locks and light switches to qualify....
Just take an honest look at your process and determine for yourself if your behavior seems unusual (compared to what I can't say)

Answer 5

OCD stands for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, implying that you are not only obsessive about your rituals, but compulsive about them as well.

If you aren't obsessive AND compulsive, then you aren't obsessive compulsive, you're just obsessive.

But with OCD, it means y that you're obsessed with your rituals. So if you don't have rituals that you're obsessising over, you probably don't have the disorder that people who are obsessed eith their rituals have.

In other word, nope, not possible.

Answer 6

Yes, actually there are differing degrees of mental behaviors and disorders. That is why some people take different drugs or amounts for the same disorders; and also because it affects people differently. OCD actually runs in my family, so I have some experience with it.

Answer 7

I have something called obsessive compulsive personality disorder. I am highly anxious about certain things, usually trying to make things "perfect" and making things organized and have a home. I rarely count and keep checking things. Check with your doctor, Zoloft is a great drug to help me and my family sane!!

Answer 8

Don't ever listen to what the "FDA" calls a made up disease. You can do whatever you want. You have the power to heal yourself mentally, by sheer will power or with the help of properly combined chinese/east indian herbs.

Answer 9

Yes. In this case the person has the obssessive thought process without the compulsion (doing part). Good luck.
