do I have OCD?

[Harold O'brien]

there are thee things that make me think I might have OCD:

1. I have dermatophagia

2. Whenever I come across a word I am unfamiliar with I have to look up its meaning and find a synonym I know before I can carry on reading

3. When I watch tv shows or movies i pause after every scene and reflect on what just happened. this typically doubles the runtime of whatever I am watching

3. Do you also repeat the words and sentences when you do that?

no

 

[stevielake]

often, yeah

yeah, you probably do. Can you get a clinical diagnosis?

Depends if you have obsessive thoughts. Do you have an irrational reason why you need to do these things? A person with OCD would be unable to stop themselves from doing it because that could lead to irrational thought X or Y

probably if I really wanted to

but idc enough, it seems like a lot of effort and I think mental disorders are fake

I wouldn't say obsessive

in long term I would rather not do these things because they waste time

but in short term I enjoy doing them

ocd is pretty common tbh i've had the signs of it for as long as i can remember. an obvious one i remember as kid is when i walk i would make sure i don't step on the lines between the floor tiles (anything pattern related i'd get extremely frustrated if it's not on point). i also had severe nail biting issues that i've moved past at this point

Not OCD then. You need a complusion why you do these things, not just enjoyment. If I don't do these things my family might die etc. This is why 99% of people who say they have OCD don't

 

[player1]
