about 6 months ago i realised something wrong with me. Every time i would go into a shop to, say, buy a packet of crisps, i would have to choose, even tho they were all the same, and if i put my hand on one, in my mind it would say, no get the other one or bad things will happen, so i would. i ddnt like doing this and it nerved me.
i also so deppressed and would think everyone hated me, that i'm ugly, and would worry for hours at a day about what ppl think of me. it stressed me allot and i would be moody all day long.
then the collecting started. i would collect useless stuff such as empty tic tac boxes, and mini m&m's boxes, and all have to be the same colour. and also i hated throwing away stuff, even had trouble deleting msg's from my mobile when the memory was low.
Then i started checking everything over and over again. not doors or cookers or that, but if i wrote an essay, or a msg to somebody, i would read over and over again if it's all right and if the reader would ..

understand what i am saying.
i didn't know what ocd was at that time and thought i was going crazy. i worried that my friends would think im weird and not like me, so i kept it all to myself and tried not to act strange.
then i started the button pressing. i would press angain and again to feel 'relieved'. it disturbed me.

Definitely sounds like O.C.D. (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) but you will have to get a diagnosis from a mental health professional. In the meantime do a search for YBOCS on the net. Complete the test and bring it to your Doctor, this will help him/her in their diagnosis. YBOCS is the best test to see if you may have OCD.
You see in OCD people repeat and hoard. These are compulsions and ppl who have OCD will give in their compulsions to relieve their anxiety. There is help!!!
ALL THE BEST.

I think that some people might have been mean to you on here or hurt your feelings and caused you to doubt yourself and that with time and patience and trust in yourself and still you being nice that things would change. I don't think there is any thing wrong with collecting things a lot of people do it they call them collectors and some people have made lots of money off of it. Also I think it is good to question ourselve about what we are buying. I don't think that you should let them label you for this it is the creation of a disease for profit, medicalisation at the expense of you.

there was a point in my lifetime where i realized something was wrong, and had been for many many years. i have OCD and i also used to hoard things and check messages i've recieved over and over again. the feeling that everyone hates you could be another form of anxiety, but the rest sounds like OCD. although the only way you will know is to go to a psychiatrist and tell him your situation!
Take Care. i know how rough it is!

Do you wanna know what? I was diagnosed with OCD when I told my therapist about how messy and untidy my home was. About how I couldn't clean it unless I cleaned it all and that I couldn't clean it all because it was too overwhelming.
Then I told him about songs I HAD to hear over and over. Songs that play in my head over and over. Counting things.
OCD has many facets. I think once you realise you have it, admit you do, a lot of the fear about it subsides. Talking about it to someone really helps. They do have treatments for it if it's getting in the way of you living your life.

it could be part of ocd but i would not like to tell that that is it, what i would advise is that you go to your doctors and tell them exactly what you have said on here and they will be able to help or guide you in some way, its not nice as i have ocd when i was a teen (cleaning hands and things i touched) but i was lucky to be able to get out of it and i have also suffered depression at some stage in my life, i had a good doc and they helped me out with therapy and things.
good see your docs babes
good luck xx

go and see your doctor they can send you to someone who can tell you if this is what you have got they will also help with the repetitive behaviour. The more you are stressed the more you can notice what you do if your friends are true friends they will stick by you whatever

OCD is obsessive compulsive disorder, but I'm not sure that's what you have. You really need to see a doctor.
