I was just wondering if any of you on this board have obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).
Here is my story:
I was diagnosed with OCD not too long ago. I believe I've always had it in one form or another, but it really reached its peak shortly before I began community college a couple of years ago. Basically I couldn't do anything that required moving-shut/open anything, put down/pick up something, turn something on/off, write, type-without getting a very uneasy feeling, which would cause me to repeat my action until it "felt right." I went through a terrible depression in middle school, and I feared that, if I didn't repeat my action until it "felt right," then I would become seriously depressed again.
My OCD made what otherwise would've been a fairly easy freshman year pure hell. I started school in late August and quit on October 1. I only had until the first of December to go before final exams.
After taking time off to "recuperate," I finally found the perfect psychiatrist, who I have been seeing since this summer. He has helped me tremendously.
I now am back at school catching up. Sometimes it is still extremely difficult to do certain things, but I would say I have improved by 50%, maybe more.
