Are My Symptoms a Sign of OCD? PLEASE HELP?
I become upset/depressed/overwhelmed/agitated when certain physical objects are not perfect. For example, I had a brand new microwave and my little cousin but tin foil in it and as a result there are black burn marks inside. When I clean it, the everything is perfectly clean and white, expect the burn marks. I then get frustrated and upset.
Another bigger example is as a result of a sexual assault I got ******* warts and had them treated…..I have a deformed outer *****….and it makes me physically sick to look at it. I remember how before my vaginal area was “perfect.” However, I know deep down that it does not matter becuase I am not sexually active and don’t plan to have *** until marriage. And my husband probably won’t be examing my ******** anyway and if he loves me he won’t care. Yet, I still get so depressed thinking about it.
I also had a beautiful antique table and accidentally left a wet rag on it. It removed the finish in a small circle and the table just isn’t the same to me. It is not perfect.
Also, I picked up 5 pamphlets from my counslers office on various topics. I was certain to make sure they were all kept like-new as I was reading them. Because they are all in a set, it would bother me if one was damaged and not the others. However, if an item, such as a book/pamphlet is not in a set, then I don’t mind if it gets minor damage such as bent corners. However, when it is in a set, it has to be perfect.
Also, when I see a row of pamphelts (for example, at the doctors office) I am compelled to grab all of them. It just feels “incomplete” if I don’t gather one. I think “what if there is some valuable information or product that I am missing” I always do this quickly because I am embarassed if the doctor sees me grabbing so many pamphlets.
I think I have “all or nothing” thinking when it comes to damaged objects. The microwave is worthless and so is the antique table because they are damaged. And logically I know that they still have a ltof worth and probably my guests won’t see the mark on the table bc I ccover it with a decorative object, yet it still bothers me.
PLEASE HELP. What is the name of my conditon? Is it OCD? How do I cure myself? I am sick of being depressed about my ********.

I think it sort of depends on the feeling you get when things are out of order or messed up. For me, if I don’t do something right, I get really depressed and it feels like I could just die. The things I do are born from superstition. If I don’t fix my curtains before I go to sleep, my family will die. Stuff like that. I think this is the way people with OCD usually feel. You can read up a bit online and take a quiz if you need to. There’s one at if you think that will help.
Sounds a little more like Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder. If it interferes with your daily living, then that is when it becomes a disorder, and seeking treatment would be helpful. With OCD, there is a thought (an obsession) and the compulsion must be done to counter that thought, otherwise, there is severe anxiety until the compulsion is completed. For example, checkers may have to check their doors 10 times before they go to bed or they worry and have serious anxiety until they check. There are many more examples for OCD - checking is just one type, but yours sounds more like OC Personality Disorder or at least symptoms of it. But, believe me, we all have symptoms of certain personality disorders - the question is how many symptoms do you hit and do they interfere significantly with your daily functioning?
It definately sounds like OCD. Nothing to be ashamed of either , as far as i am concerned everyone has a little OCD in them. All i can suggest is see your doctor and she will prob suggest that you see a phsycologist. But if it is upsetting you then go for it, get some real advice from someone that can explain because the not knowing is usually worse than finding out. Cheers and keep ur head up i dont think u r crazy or anything just like perfection.

I don’t think there is a cure. I never received any meds for this. This is something you have to work on.
