Hi there,
It sounds like you're having a major OCD episode.. It's best that you see your doctor asap, and get a referral to a psychiatrist/psychologist. You will probably need to start some medication, and engage in cognitive behavioural therapy..
Don't worry, this can be treated.. I was once where you are now.. and my OCD improved within a few weeks once I sought treatment.
Good luck! :)

SOUNDS LIKE OCD. I WAS DIAGNOSED 18 YEARS AGO WITH IT, I WAS 5 WHEN I GOT MY FIRST SIMPTOMS. IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME FEELING LIKE THIS, MAKE AN APPT. FOR A PSYCHOLOGIST SO YOU CAN TALK IT OVER, GET THERAPY, MEDS, ETC.... I CONSTANTLY FEEL THAT WAY, ANYTHING SOMEBODY SAYS, DOES, REACTIONS, ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING BRINGS UN WANTED THOUGHTS THAT I CAN'T CONTROL AND THAT IS OCD. ACTUALLY THAT IS THE BIGGEST PART OF MINE, IT USED TO BE CHECKING, ARRANGING, CLEANING, ORDERING AND HOARDING, BUT I HAVE LEARNED TO CONTROL A LOT OF THAT BUT NOW THESE THOUGHTS SEEM TO TAKE OVER AND I CAN'T STOP THEM NO MATTER WHAT, THEY CONTROL MY BRAIN AND IF I TRY TO DROWN THOSE THOUGHTS WITH OTHER ONES, THE BAD ONES ALWAYS WIN. I HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL, ATLEAST YOU KNOW YOU AREN'T ALONE, I FEEL LIKE I'M ALONE CONSTANTLY, BUT MILLIONS OF OTHERS SUFFER FROM IT ALSO.... TAKE CARE....HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL....

It isn't really something you can control on your own - you have to learn to manage it with the help of a therapist. Are you 100% sure you have OCD? It could be something else if it just started recently...

Two pronged attack....
1. See your doctor and get him to prescribe medication to help calm things down
2. Get therapy. Learn coping techniques and apply them in your life.
Its not easy, but it will work to some extent given time and dedication from you and your loved one.

i think i have OCD too, i have to have things neat and i cant help it, its normall to affect your life you just have to get used to it and help yourself really, i suppose you could go somewhere that would help you and support you, lots of people have OCD it isnt rare but its hard. if you really want to get rid of it, go to your doctor, or just a person you think could help. i hope this has helped you. i dont know if it has [: bye xxx
