Fringe benefits or sold out?

[Nakiah4Yeshua]

Hello, can anyone tell me the signs of acute OCD?
I want to know if I am just being anal or if I am truly compulsive (marginally anyway).

You see, I am a perfectionist. I have high standards of clean and I like symmetry. My clutter-bug roommate and I are having "fun" reconciling our styles.

is there a good website I can go to?

Thanks,

Some symptoms of OCD:-

1. Constant checking particulary when going out or going to bed.

2. Over exaggerated neatness in cupboards.

3. Fears of electrical appliances, so again these are checked over and over again.

4. Over exaggerated cleanliness, possibly.

5. Ritual episodes of frustrated time keeping.

6. Perfectionism can come into it but not a nessesity.

This is just an outline, but you need a specialist, Psychiatrist or psychologist to diagnose, this doesn't happen until after every other diagnosis happens and youve seen a specialist. If ur worried see the doc to be referred, but be prepared to wait for a full diagnoses, its not an illness that is immediately diagnosed.

You can do checks on any OCD site, but also read what Cfs have in there forum, Ok, but as yet don't get over concerned love.

It can depend on a few things:
a) How often you do it, do you perform actions such as pulling your hair out on a daily basis?
b) Do you get any pleasure from what you are doing? EG. Often people who obsessivly clean get no satisfaction even when they are finished - believing that it is still not right or they have misssed something
c) How many hours a day does it affect you

Mainly ocd is cleaning/contamintaion/fear of hurting ofthers/perfectionism etc. Its not like gambling, where people get pleasure out of what they are doing, but are also stuck doing the same thing.

These might help explain it better than what I can;
