Hi, I am new to this board. I have ADHD and PD (panic disorder), and I am so sure that I have OCD, even though it has not been diagnosed. I was wondering what you thought. I have werid compulsions that sometimes really bug me, not just my boyfriend.
-I change clothes constantly at home...I will change not just if I am hot or cold but I change how I feel, and how the clothes feel on me.
- I will take objects when shopping from behind the ones on the front. If the cashier has to get it, and she takes the front one I can feel my insides sqiurming, and it bugs me.
At school when passing out papers, I take the one underneath the top. One of my psychology professors noticed this once and made a comment "I noticed you don't like to take the papers from the top".
-I will arrange objects so that they are symmetrical ...sometimes if I am bored, but sometimes I feel compelled to do it. i am always arranging my coffee table so that the candles are in the middle and the remote controls are at the side and beside eachother in symmetry to the table. I will organize coasters on the table in a place so that they are symmetrical soem way.
- I double check when I lock doors.
-when crossing streets I have to press the button 2 times
-i put the volume on my tv only on even numbers.
-when I am in a movie store i push in movies that are sticking out...so i don't like going to pick out oves that much because it takes sooooo much strength not to push all the movies in....but I will push a few in.
-my pictures on my wall have to perfectly symmetrical and in line
-I collect empty shampoo and soap bottles....I have had to force myself to throw out most of them (my bf has bugged me about it)..I don't know why I keep them. I allow myself one box fo them now, but it bugs me to throw them away (actually I recycle them).
- I organise my money so that they are folded with the heads up,and I will uncrinkle any crinkiles and unfold folds.
Well...that are the major things. Sometimes these can really bug me and I will do them knowing I am in a hurry or they are just silly...but I do them.
I am sure I have OCD too. Even as a kid I would arrange my books an pencils on my desks, and other kids teased me because it was "weird". My big thing is arranging things and it can be really annoying.
What do you think?
