should i get help?

Question

My thoughts:
you haven't talked to your parents lately, they are both going to die and you'll be alone -almost everyday
he called in (to work) on purpose because he knew you would have to work so you wouldn't have a day off -every time I get called in
he acts nice, but he really wants to take advantage of you -everytime I'm around him so I'm not around him anymore
she only pretends to like you because your her daughter in law (to be) -every single waking moment for the past year
you are crazy and no one will like you if they find out -every single waking moment
you didn't say jesus clearly enough so god didn't hear you pray -every time I pray
you better check your headlights again because you left them on -every time I get out of the car
don't spend any money or your fiance will hate you -every time i go to spend money
your sister has a boyfriend now, she dosen't need you anymore -when I think about my sister
your were suppose to help your cat, why did he die then?

Some of the fears are very strong but some aren't as strong as others. I even know they don't make sense and aren't rational but I still obsess and worry. I obsess over them, some days one thought will be on my mind 24/7 other days it's more than one thought.
When I get a thought in my head, I get obsessed with it and can't get it out of my head. I analyze it over and over again until every waking moment is filled with the thought. Ive been obsessing about wether or not I have ocd for the past six days and I'm often distracted at work because I can't think of anything else and I feel anxious. The only checking I do is when I'm reading. I feel the need to re read things, like when I'm watching tv I have to go back and re read things (on the previous channel)if there are words on the screen. I have no control over that.
Something that got really bad was when I use to exercise. I would look at myself in the mirror probably 30 times a day to make sure I hadn't gained weight. I would wei

myself like 6 to 10 times a day to see what my weight was and if the scale didn't say what it was suppose to I would keep getting on it until it went down. I'd get frustrated and angry. And everything had to be perfect, running four days a week(40 min a day), weights four days a week, eight cups of water a day and certain vitamins I had had to take. Needless to say I don't exercise anymore! Which makes me sad because I love to go running. I smoke about a pack of cigarettes a day which dosen't help my health.
What is your opinion- anxiety disordr or ocd?

so does it sound like ocd or anxiety disorder?

Answer 2

First off, these are both very serious disorders and unless someone is licensed can really diagnose you. I think that you might have trouble finding that on Yahoo Answers. (I have another year to go.) However, I have an anxiety disorder and these are similar thoughts to what I have when I’m not taking my happy pills. I think you do have an anxiety disorder. However, you need to go to a licensed mental health professional for a real diagnose.

You are also showing signs of OCD. However, there are two kinds of OCD. A personality disorder and a mood disorder and because you know what you are doing is wrong, if you have OCD, you would have the mood disorder type. An OCD mood disorder IS an anxiety disorder.

My best advice is get help. There are both Rx and over the counter medication that can help clear your head. If you are interested in what I am on (an over the counter medication that helps a lot), email me and I’ll tell you all about it. However, you need to talk to someone who is a professional. The things that are bothering you can be helped and calmed with medicine and counseling.

Answer 3

Yes Lori--you are in need of a councilor--you are showing classic signs of OCD with the unending lists of things that you feel you have to do over and over again every "waking moment"---this and the stress it is creating has it seems brought on some activities in the anxiety department as well---this is not something that you can continue to deal with alone---and it is not something that will get any better at all without some professional help---there is none of this that is your fault--and there is one thing for sure and that is it all can be a whole lot better in no time if you just simply find a clinic and have a couple of talks with some people---but you must do this now--before it starts getting worse because if you let it get worse without getting help--your going to make it alot harder for anyone to be able to help you easily and it willl be much harder on you too---So Lori---right now--this very day--even if all the rest of this stuff doesn't get done--go to a clinic or hospital and talk with someone ---ok ?? And--it will be alright in no time---Good Luck to You

Answer 4

I would believe (from past experience) that you probably have a combination of diagnosies. First I would say (by your obsessive thoughts) that you probably have OCD with some paranoia. Maybe not paranoia, but it seems like it. Depression for sure. Maybe even BPD (borderline personality disorder)... I have gone thru things like this and this is what I was diagnosed with. I was put on antidepressents and a mood stabalizer and had therapy. They all helped a lot; then i learned to really control a lot on my own. I started exercising and really go involved with my church and those things really helped. Oh, and by the way..God hears you and no matter how, when, where or why you pray to him. Keep doing it!!

Answer 5

I'm not trained to diagnose mental illness but if I had to classify your thoughts into one of the main mental illnesses, I would say that you could be a little obsessive/compulsive with a hint of paranoia. There are medications to treat these conditions, but you would need to have a clear diagnosis made first. They are not without side-effects so discuss your options with your doctor.

Answer 6

Sounds like you need help or need a long deserved vacation by yourself where you can let go of your tension. To many negative situtions can be just as bad as being negative yourself. Stress can hurt or kill. You have taken the first step to getting help by asking. I think you need to get away from these people though. They are bringing you down. And also you are bringing you down.

Answer 7

good grief. you should probably get help. i think you have a little bit of an ocd problem w a large dosage of anxiety. you should really talk to a professional. asap. best before you get married. check these sites for help.

Answer 8

You need help now. Your life is slowly being spiralled away from you until you are a quivering mass of uncertainty.

Take the steps to take back your life.

Answer 9

You are a remarkably sensitive person who needs answers only you can find. Buck up, dear. Things will get easier to deal with in time.

Answer 10

You are not crazy. Should you get help? If you can, yes. What you are describing is life. Never let your happiness depend on anyone. If you do, you're screwed. Love yourself. Then it doesn't matter so much if no one else does.
