thank you for the explanation. I have ocd since childhood and no amount of yelling, hitting, embarrassment/shaming by my parents would make it "go away". they saw it as a bad habit and told me: just stop it, ok ? In elementary school, depending on what was making me upset...i would pull my eyelashes out or chew on the ends my own hair(used to be long)...I myself cannot explain why these things were happening. progressed to chewing up my pencils/pens and then chewing my nails and tips of my fingers...only to be yelled at and punished for it.

I have severe (11/12) OCD. I have always had it. Since I was a baby. I suspect that I was born with it. I had compulsions even in my crib.

[huntsbychainsaw]

Fighting the compulsions can be stressful, strenuous, and almost painful at times.

I’ve never been formally diagnosed (aced ADHD test-damn near perfect score 🙄) but always wondered about OCD…
I do things like, have to make sure light switch, or whatever, is a specific way or my mind tells me something bad will happen to whomever. I also shut down when in any confrontation - ie when being screamed at by my mother, I’d not actually listen to her words but I’d say the sentence in my head and try to make it divisible by 4. When I’m over stressed/overstimulated, I also do this. And I just focus on the words, not meanings, over and over, until it’s equally divided by 4.
Idk how to explain it. I’ve never said it out loud before…like most lifebergs, I just try and deal; i am failing miserably. 🕊️

Yes I've got that I will not leave my apartment unless it's in order or my day is ruined if everything is not organized correctly

[AutisticAthena]

Compulsions are not great. I can inhibit most of them most of the time. But some of them are SUPER detrimental when I can't (food based ones especially).

[BLuRayDiskRang]

I have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Syndrome, as well as insomnia. I have undiagnosed OCD as well, but I still know for sure that I have it.

[JJones-gwvy]

I never had OCD until I started taking ADHD meds. Then I stopped them a year or so later and the OCD never went away. They won't tell you the possibility of that before you start though.

[CRYBR]

I have pure OCD but its pue obsessional.
