My OCD

does anyone in here have it? I'm concerned, i mean, i know everybody has a little bit, but I scored a 16 on an OCD test which is apperently above average and it told me to seek medical advice . I think it's a lot less obsesive and way more compulsive, ion the tes all the obsessive questions i pretty much answered "no" to buti  have these really bad re-occuring compulsions. Im constantly afraid of "jinxing" myself, everything i do im worried about ruining my day like especially stuff i haven't done for a while or have never done, so im starting to get stuck in routines and stuff. like as an example I was going out with this girl for a while and i listened to atmosphere a lot during that time and stuff with her ended kinda badly. so now i won't listen to atmosphere anymore especially certain songs. if i have a bad night i go over it a thousand times in my head, trying to like figure out what i should have done and i repeat it over and over till i fall asleep so im starting to do the repetitive thing and whenever im out and i need to go to the bathroom i hold like all night till i get home because i won't use public restrooms and stuff. So now that i've rambled i guess what im asking is for peoples opinion, especially people who have been diagnosed with OCD i really don't want to go to the doctor and ask about it and stuff i dont know, im just looking for opinions

I have a lot of little habits, but I'm not sure if I'd go so far as having OCD. Everytime I go into my living room, it has to look the exact same before I sit down. Same with my bathroom (which sucks because if I have to go really bad, it could take me a while to clean it). Doors always have to be completely shut, I might shut them 4 or 5 times until it closes perfectly. If a song comes on that has to do with death or something, I turn it off because I'm scared maybe it's telling me whats about to happen (especially when I'm driving). Notebooks and pencils have to be arranged perfectly on my desk in school.

alright, so after typing that all out maybe I do have very slight ocd. damn this sucks.

yo, about youre first part i can relate to. i in no way have OCD, however i do kinda keep routines like that . like in sports, ill put my hockey pads on in a certain order, only listen to certain songs before a game, and ill change the songs if we lose.

it might be OCD, but you might just be putting too much pressure on yourself. see a doctor and get a professional opinion

theres all sorts of different shit with the whole ocd thing. some people have ticks like washing hands and shit like that and then some people cant look at things a certain way. sometimes i just gotta make shit look right you know? and then I have this thing with people. I can't stand being around large groups of people and shit, but only sometimes. its really weird. like in school i cant walk down the hall without my hoodie i dont know why but when i get into class i dont need it. its like a security thing or something. and like a crowded hallway i hate, but a crowded party i dont give a shit. its weird.

I have legit ocd... so does my brother... but i dont feel like reading through all these posts.

I can tell you with confidence though that 99% of the reasons people think they have ocd are just pet peeves

I scored a 30 on that test and I have been diagnosed with OCD. Yeah its a bitch, but I've learned how to deal with it. It does interfere with my life. But I have to accept the way my life is.As long as I am a good skier, OCD doesn't bother me. Skiing brings the positive energy into the negative enrgy (OCD). If you guys have any questions regarding OCD, just ask me. Im not a doctor or anything, but I may have some helpful suggestions.
