I looked up on the internet "How to stop these thoughts on my mind" and I find lots of articles about OCD. I took some tests, I read the symptoms, which where really accurate how I feel and what these thoughts are like, and also talk to a psychologistonlineand she told me that I did OCD.

I first realized I had ODC when I learned about it in school and realized I had similar symptoms.

When I thought I would die if I didn't check every single item I had in the house.

I have always felt something wrong in my head. I had graphic and hearing contents that made me feel weird and upset, and I also have the fear of damaging someone, I always had to control if I closed the door, done something well...I went to my psychiatrist, described my symptoms and he told me I suffer of OCD...

i guess i didn't really realize i had problems with ocd until i was older and had for the most part grown out of it i read some stuff online and talked with some friends who had it and it sounded exactly like what i did and felt when i was a little kid i rember i had to touch things a million times because if i didn't touch something the exact same way on one side as the other i would get upset and i everything had to be perfectly straight i still have ocd but now its not that bad it's more of just when im really upset like if im extremely stressed ill just start straightening and organizing everything

Once I realized how much I washed my hands because I didn't like the feel of them being dirty. Or how incan never touch a doorknob with my bear hands, I always use the bottom of my shirt to open doors o.O

I guess I finally realized that I had an issue when my hands started to bleed from excessive hand washing and especially hand sanitizer use. Initially I passed it off as being a germaphobe but once I reached that point I started wondering if something was different about that. I started looking it up and kept coming across stuff about old and realized that I fit quite well into it. That was also when I started to notice that I had a bunch of other small compulsions that I again never thought much of, I just thought I was incredibly picky.

Google Search suggested it. I couldn't believe it at first as my mind was lying to me. But later while reminiscing I noticed some peculiarities and figured out I had OCD all my life.
