"OCD is a term that is bounded about way too freely. I get called it because I enjoy cleaning! I like things to be in their place and sometimes in a certain order. I don't have OCD. Ocd is a mental illness where the sufferer fears there will be a bad consiquence if they don't do these things. Just because you have habits, doesn't mean you have OCD. " Couldn't agree more. Although I don't have any habits/rituals, OCD is massively misunderstood | |||

Ocd is a mental illness where the sufferer fears there will be a bad consiquence if they don't do these things. Just because you have habits, doesn't mean you have OCD. " Needs to be clarified more often. I struggle with it, for example I will compulsively wash my hands when touching any food item, not just the obvious stuff like meat - but safe stuff like apples, bananas, peppers... This stems not from my own personal hygiene, but from a concern I will cause a society wide epidemic by not washing my hands and then going out in public. I leaves me with permanently dry hands which get chapped in winter, especially if I cannot use CBT to work around it. I also shower for long time compulsively as I have a fear of being socially isolated publicly or at work for not being clean, and tidy enough. Mine compulsions are not excessively disruptive though, I dated a girl once who couldn't leave the house without ensuring that all pens and pencils were either in a draw or arranged in a set way for fear that if the weren't, the house would catch fire. | |||

Thanks for your honesty . It's very difficult to admit that you have a problem. This poster is bang on and has OCD. What everyone else is experiencing is habit. OCD is a compulsion with consiquences attached, generally irrational consiquences and fears. Think for some it's "fashionable" to say they have it because they have a habit of repeatedly doing something. I guess it's the same people who claim they have depression or are bipolar. Just because you feel a bit down or you get occasional mood swings does not mean you have a mental illness! | |||

"Thanks for your honesty . It's very difficult to admit that you have a problem. This poster is bang on and has OCD. What everyone else is experiencing is habit." Wish mine was just a habit, wouldn't have to use cream 3 days on my hands if it was from washing them with bleach. | |||

OCD is not a habit, it's far more than that. | |||
