Do i have OCD or something?

Do i have OCD or something else?

  • I don't have the manic everything must be in order type of OCD which everybody probably hears about. What i do have is the following: -A huge fear of catching diseases so much so that i refuse to drink out of cups without a straw. This spilled over into my home at one point where i wouldn't eat or drink unless i was using disposable cutlery. - I have to without exception complete 70 push-ups and 70 sit-ups every night before bed. i feel like i will get fat otherwise. - i keep the tightest leash on what i eat where i have the word " control" to stop me from eating foods that are fatty. - i went through the biggest period of depression because i thought i had HIV after touching somebody with HIV and later found i had a pin prick on my finger. -The same thing happened again when i cut my mouth shaving and caught impetigo and went a bit suicidal thinking my life was over because i thought it was a cold sore. -If i shake a persons hand i am increasing starting to havea feeling that i need to wash my hands now. -I wrap the toilet ( at home) with tissues to prevent contamination -Go mad if my girlfriend picks up a shopping basket with somthing already in it. -wont eat fruit that has any kind of mark on it exscudling pairs which are already in a bad way but if they have holes forget it. I have a new obsession at the moment which has led to intrusive thoughts. At first i could put it aside as silly but now it's all i can think about 24/7. i have noticed that these on the whole are routines i have picked up within the last 3 years before that i was relatively ok. Maybe a bit scornful as my mum would put it. my cousin has OCD. I just looked up that Panic disorder, I would say that this was the one except for it only explains the panics and not the rituals so to speak. i was also thinking that their are other things i have obsessed over in the past, but not really in a negative way. i learnt how to play the guitar to a decent level in about 3 months. It was like i had a motor pushing me to do it. i have 101 stories of this. people say i go through phases of liking/hating and doing stuff. maybe it's ADHD.

Of coarse without an in-depth look into your personal medical history, and your family history of mental disorders, I cannot give you a perfectly accurate diagnosis. However, based on what you told me I would say that OCD would not fit what you have. I would guess a panic disorder without agoraphobia. Basically you are always concentrating on your "obsessions" and you are in a constant state of anxiety and/or paranoia but then you just have very random intense panic attacks. So I recommend that you get an appointment with a doctor ASAP. Hope I helped!
