I have OCD, Depression, and Anxiety.

Physically, I have Arthritis, and possibly Fibromyalgia, so I'm in pain most of the time.

All this mixed together makes for an interesting recipe!

May I ask why you are asking? Have you been diagnosed with something in particular?

Thank you for sharing...

I'm asking just because I have a handful of my own as well and they usually seem related so I was just curious how many other OCDer's have the same problems....

Counting everything!!!! And spelling things while people are talking to me. It has to come out even or I have to start adding to it. Crazy!!!!!!!!

organizing and labeling,tidying,re folding and spraying disenfectant. It goes into other things too like I won't use public restrooms,touch handles..it's getting crazy or am I crazy?

I fold my bathroom towels all the same way and if one just does not look right or has any form of tears or rips I have to throw it away and get a new one asap. I think I'm nuts. I know I am.

i don't use public bathrooms or touch handles or anything either.

i understand wanting all your towels to look the same, but why do you throw them away, why don't you just refold them... isn't that expensive?

I have OCD and I battle off and on with depression... my little sister has OCD, and she also has temporal lobe seizures and anxiety. It's crazy how most mental disorders are somehow connected!

You are not nuts...you have a disorder.

I have trouble with having to wait until I hear a 'good' word before I can shut off the TV....guess you could call me nuts too !

Have you been in therapy for this?

You are so right.
My sister has anxiety and agoraphobia, my grandma has ocd/anxiety, I have it as well, and my daughter has ocd/adult adhd. What an interesting bunch, right?

OCD is an anxiety disorder so unfortunately everyone with OCD has anxiety. It is actually your anxiety that is at the root of all of your obsessions/compulsions even if its subconscience. I have OCD as well as all 3 of my daughters and we all battle with depression from time to time. The psychiatrist has told us there is a direct link. My youngest daughter also has Bipolar Disorder and Temporal Lobe Seizures along with OCD and Depression. I don't know if anyone will ever truly figure out the human brain!!

I can relate to some of this even the Fibromyalgia. Havn't been tested, but have been told by other diagnosed women that is probably what I'm suffering from. Oh sis many hugs & prayers to you To suffer from Arthritis...lady you are a survivor

 

[gracechick]

It is not unusual at all to have what are called comorbid disorders along with the original dx.

To me it's no surprise that people who have these struggles also can have depression. To me it only stands to reason.
