Have I got an OCD?

Question

I feel like I have an OCD, I am obsessed with turning lights and plugs off all the time, I go round like four times to check everything is off and unplugged and I don't know why I do it. I'm not saying that it is as bad as some peopes OCD's but I get the feeling I have one. Does it sound like I do?

Answer 1

Sounds like you have a mild case. Are you stressed or worried about anything that's going on? This could be aggravating the situation. Maybe a visit to the G.P would help before it gets any worse. It seems like it is bothering you because you wouldn't have asked for advice if it wasn't. You will be fine. It's not a life or death matter at the moment but I think you need to seek medical help and maybe counselling for any unresolved issues that may be causing you worry. Good luck sweetheart. God bless you. Your in my thoughts and prayers.x

Answer 2

Hi, I dont think its a really bad OCD but maybe you do go a little over the top checking the plugs over and over again as its it should be ok the second time you have checked it. Im the same I have to check the plugs all the time and worry loads incase the plugs downstairs are switched off properly.
I have to have certain things in certain places or I think its bad look. I have to have my phone with me at all times or else I feel totally lost without it even though I hardly use it. These and yours are just say to day things that worry us and we check repeatdly. If you do it with like everything has its own place in the how and you have to continously checkeverything is in its right place ever 10 mins than I would say you have an OCD. But in my opinion checking all the plugs off more than once is just being cautious. But if it gets worse then you may need to seek help.

The question is how strongly "those conduct" intervene at the same time with your existence. in the event that they do no longer, yet while they trojan horse others, you in all possibility have OCD tendencies, however the others may additionally desire some help through fact your loved ones shouldn't get indignant or condemn you for those conduct. if it relatively is the case, I recommend you nonetheless do no longer study and don't set up for you which you have OCD, yet in addition on an analogous time you video reveal that those conduct don't get into an severe. If those conduct do no longer trojan horse you and additionally do no longer trojan horse others, forget approximately OCD. you haven't any longer have been given it then.See, each human has some style of OCD subject concerns, yet maximum are minor. They grow to be basically medical OCD in the event that they are taken to an severe and intervene at the same time with your existence, e.g. checking the door for 10 min, a million hour showers, etc.

Answer 6

maybe you are anxious

Stress --> Hormone Imabalance --> "Oestrogen dominance"

Stress leads to cortisol production
cortisol blocks the progesterone receptors then hormone imbalance can occur - oestrogen dominance,.

This is a list of health issues

http://www.ylcf.org/hormone-imbalance/06.htm

Miriam wrote her story in 1997 and revised it in 2002, on it you will see "anxiousness"

As a preliminary do the on line hormone tests at www.hormoneprofile.com or www.johnleemd.com

If as I suspect they recommend you obtain hormones please have a saliva test done see www.npis.info or www.salivatest.com. A saliva test will check out active hormone levels something that blood tests do not.

If a hormone is suggested by the saliva test please take the dose suggested for you. Size 10 shoes are not twice as good if you have size 5 feet.

The WHO (World Health Organisation) uses saliva tests.

Search the web for “natural progesterone anxiety" and you will find many pages read and carefully select.

I believe you'll find many women with the same story who are now better. :-)

There is a list of doctors at www.npis.info are. They are aware of the benefits of natural progesterone they may be more helpful than your GP. You are about to educate your GP :-)

Natural progesterone means natural to humans i.e. identical to that produced by the human body.

For a good explanation of how vital natural progesterone is to humans see

http://www.hormoneprofile.com/howhormoneswork.htm and other pages on this site or likewise
http://natural-progesterone-advisory-network.com/

Any progesterone you buy must be natural progesterone USP. USP means United States Pharmacopoeia. Wild yam is that Wild Yam the body will not convert it to progesterone.

Do not take fake progesterone/progestins manufactured by the drug companies they will be of NO benefit.

Hope this of benefit to you

Answer 7

It doesn't really sound like OCD but it probably is. Maybe you should get a therapist's opinion. Maybe you are just paranoid.

Answer 8

i think you are just forgetful. As you can't remember if you have done it, so you go and check again. I keep forgetting if I'v locked my kitchen door when i go out. So i always end up going back in the house to check. My son always laughs at me.

Answer 9

i have this sometimes

Maybe you are under a lot of stress and your mind is preoccupied with things, when your mind is blank, then you think about things that you usually do under second nature.

With me, its when I think I have forgotton to take my pill.

If you know the light is off and you constantly feel to make sure ( and you can see it is off) then you may have a problem.

Answer 10
