I have this habit/complusion to be overly courteous to strangers in public and it fvcks with me when people are apathetic in response. I can deal with rude though, since I'm more than happy to be a comeplete dick in response. I also constantly scrutinize people in crowds while simulteneously I feel constantly scrutinized myself. It makes me very tense. In especially bad bouts I can range from wanting to run out of the place as fast as possible to wanting to punch pepole in their faces.

agoraphobia, I believe.

Sounds like you've got social anxiety, not OCD.
Ahhh, nothing like throwing a few diagnoses around.

i have severe obsessive hypochondria if that counts, as a result of generalized anxiety disorder, i have obsessive compulsive traits but am not full blown ocd per say.
i remember watching the aviator and thinking "thats not that abnormal", i dont touch doorknobs, shake hands etc... and have tissues lying all over lol.
ive recently been on SSRI's (lexxapro) and benzo's (ativan) but have a difficult time with med compliance ... i take it everyday but not at the levels they want me to. when your like me you tend to think the medication is whats making you sick.
that being said i live a pretty normal life and hold down a job, i just live life somewhat tortured lol.
age? You know what I hate? Monk...He makes having OCD seem cool.
I wouldn't say he makes having OCD seem cool, and it's entertaining enough. There have been worse depictions of mental illness. But then again, that sort of stuff doesn't really bother me either.

I was diagnosed with OCD about 7 or 8 years ago. I have had a hard time over the years. I have been on meds since I was siagnosed. It has gotten a little better for me the past few months, but I am still not 100%. Most recently, like a year ago I was diagnosed with Psychosis NOS. Since then they increased one of my meds and I have been getting better and better all the time. A couple weeks ago I quit taking one of my meds and I have been doing pretty good so far. While battleing OCD I also had bouts od depression. I just hope I can do well for a while. I am tired of feeling like crap all the time. Or feeling numb, which is almost as bad. I will ask that if you pray to pray for me that I get better.
Thanks,
Perry
psychosis? OCD is neuroses. Meds help you?
It's possible to have more than one diagnosis, you know. Plus the term "neurosis" isn't generally used for diagnosis anymore.

don't tell me it has something to do with those ipod scams you've been falling for. :roll:
i'm not really one who studied OCD in depth (i was a pscyh minor in college), but i'm curious to know if it's a personal question to ask what people here have specifcally been OCD about (e.g. washing your hands frequently or what?)
It probably depends on the person. One thing I'm a little obsessive about is things like making posts, writing e-mails, etc. Like... I deleted all the breaks bigger than one line in the quotes, and I generally read through things several times before posting/sending them. Sometimes it takes me over an hour for a 2 paragraph e-mail. Not generally, but it happens. Then sometimes I'll be lying in bed or something and think of a better way of wording something or a sentence I should've omitted or just wish I hadn't sent it at all. I also worry a lot about everyday things and often check them more than once ? things like turning lights off, locking doors, parking in a non-reserved spot, not losing my wallet, doing something I was instructed to do properly, etc. Other than that, I just like things to be very organized, consistent, and so forth. Especially stuff on my computer. I get rid of stuff I don't need regularly, files and possessions. Oh, and just recently (since starting college/moving out that is) I've become really obsessive about how I spend my time (e.g. not janking around when I have homework I could be doing instead, always staying at least a week ahead in my online classes) and spending money (I live on about $250 a month, including rent). And I'm sure there are other things. Little habits and stuff. I don't like incomplete lists, but that'll have to do.
OP: I'm likely doing some research with a professor who studies OCD and other anxiety disorders next semester, and he said if there was anything I was interested in looking at (using the available data, obviously), he'd try to work it in. I don't have anything personally, since OCD isn't exactly my greatest interest, but if there's anything you're curious about, I could give you some more information and maybe look into it.
