A stressful disorder. You constantly feel like your forgetting something, even when you've checked things over multiple times. Everything you do has to be perfect and any minor flaw ruins the entire "image". You have to fix little things like for example, if 10 cans are lined up, and one is slightly out of place, you HAVE to fix it or otherwise the thought of that can being messed up will knaw at you until you fix it. You'll leave home and remember you left something turned on or left something on its charger, and you'll have a complete panic attack. Trust me, it sucks, I'm 13 and have OCD. I wake up at 2am sometimes and feel like i HAVE to clean the kitchen or I wont be able to sleep. Please don't make fun of it or underestimate it.
Guy 1-Where's Timmy?
Guy 2-He left his bedroom light on at home and he had to go back an turn it off.
Guy 1-Wow, OCD must SUCK.

A.)Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a mental illness resulting in persistant illogical fears and ideas, and often, particular habits created and followed out so as to avoid the fears and anxiety they cause.
B.) Why I suffer.
B.) Why I suffer.
A.) In the sixth grade, I was so afraid of choking on food that I would only eat soup or mashed potatoes. I weighed 60 lbs, and almost died before I slowly was brought onto solid foods again.
B.) I'm afraid of eveything now. Its stupid, but I can't stop it. I'm afraid of people, yet I love them. I want love, but I'm too cowardly to look for it. Instead I get caught up in the deluded fantasies in my head and wait for the world to go away.

I shot myself with a hot glue gun.
I turned off the emergency stop for the escalator button causing the police to come.
I turned off the main power supply of a building causing the whole place to black-out and the people there scolded me thinking im misbehaving.
i stick knives in my neck , scissors into my tounge to satisfy these compulsions.
Due to the intrusions in my head , i can't sleep at night or listen in class. I got a 1.71 GPA during my first year in college.
I have compulsions to scratch paper when doing homework or during class
I bite walls.
I recheck everything again and again.
I make weird eye movements.
( I have OCD , i see the psychiatrist , psychologist , i take fluoxetine. People may laugh at this disease , but it's not funny if you have it. You are lucky not to have this. )

People with the mental illness appear to be daydreaming, distracted, noncompliant, disinterested , lazy , mischevious.
the truth is :
lazy - because we are mentally tired of everything.
ocd is bad , it really tires your mind , you get depressed and sometimes , you feel like doing nothing , at all.
mischevious - because we have to act on these compulsions or it will linger in your mind until it gets so stressful that you get panics attacks that may even caused seizures and even death.However, The compulsions to do things are mostly evil. So you get fked no matter what.

Imagine that your mind got stuck
on a certain thought or image…
Then this thought or image got replayed in your mind
over and
over again
no matter what you did…
You don’t want these thoughts — it feels like an avalanche…
Along with the thoughts come intense feelings of anxiety…
Anxiety is your brain’s alarm system. When you feel anxious, it feels like you are in danger. Anxiety is an emotion that tells you to respond, react, protect yourself, DO SOMETHING!
On the one hand, you might recognize that the fear doesn’t make sense, doesn’t seem reasonable, yet it still feels very real, intense, and true…
Why would your brain lie?
Why would you have these feelings if they weren’t true? Feelings don’t lie… Do they?
Unfortunately, if you have OCD, they do lie. If you have OCD, the warning system in your brain is not working correctly. Your brain is telling you that you are in danger when you are not.
When scientists compare pictures of the brains of groups of people with OCD, they can see that some areas of the brain are different than the brains of people who don’t have OCD.
Those tortured with OCD are desperately trying to get away from paralyzing, unending anxiety…

Obsessions are thoughts, images or impulses that occur over and over again and feel outside of the person’s control. Individuals with OCD do not want to have these thoughts and find them disturbing. In most cases, people with OCD realize that these thoughts don’t make any sense. Obsessions are typically accompanied by intense and uncomfortable feelings such as fear, disgust, doubt, or a feeling that things have to be done in a way that is “just right.” In the context of OCD, obsessions are time consuming and get in the way of important activities the person values. This last part is extremely important to keep in mind as it, in part, determines whether someone has OCD — a psychological disorder — rather than an obsessive personality trait.
Compulsions are the second part of obsessive compulsive disorder. These are repetitive behaviors or thoughts that a person uses with the intention of neutralizing, counteracting, or making their obsessions go away. People with OCD realize this is only a temporary solution but without a better way to cope they rely on the compulsion as a temporary escape. Compulsions can also include avoiding situations that trigger obsessions. Compulsions are time consuming and get in the way of important activities the person values.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a stressful mental disorder characterized by rituals and irrational fears.
A person with OCD may be unable to leave their house without checking to make sure every door is locked 12 times or be unable to turn on a light switch without flicking it multiple times until it feels right.
There are many different types of OCD; however, liking your things to be orderly and not being messy does not mean you have OCD.

Person 1: "Oh my God I'm soooo OCD. I always keep my room clean."
Person 2: "I actually have OCD and I can't leave my house or even open the door without having to bleach my entire house to avoid death by harmful bacteria."
Person 1 "I'm so OCD, I order my pencils on my desk to make them look pretty."
Person 3: "I've actually been diagnosed with OCD and it took me ten minutes to walk into this classroom because I had to step on all of the lines perfectly and walk around the desks in a specific order just to be able to sit down without having a panic attack."
Person 1: "Ew, that M&M is a different color than the other M&M's. I'm so OCD, I'm going to take it out."
Person 4: "I actually have OCD and I have to organize every item in my house perfectly all of the time because of the irrational fear that my family and friends will die or leave me."
