Do I have OCD or not?

[Anonymous]

I dont keep things organized, only when im forced to clean my room or something.. and the uneven like images dont irritate me but i do count things sometimes but this happens when im bored or dont have anything to do also i have some weird sexual thoughts sometimes lol
by the way im not obsessive with cleaning or anything im a lazy person :p. So if i have it, is it possible to get rid of it without going to the doctor? im already tired of having to go the dentist (i have braces)

I'm not a doctor so don't take me seriously lol but I don't think so. It doesn't sound like your behaviour is interfering with your life.

"People with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) suffer intensely from recurrent unwanted thoughts (obsessions) or rituals (compulsions), which they feel they cannot control. Rituals, such as handwashing, counting, checking or cleaning, are often performed in hope of preventing obsessive thoughts or making them go away. Performing these rituals, however, provides only temporary relief, and not performing them increases anxiety. Left untreated, obsessions and the need to perform rituals can take over a person's life. OCD is often a chronic, relapsing illness."

If you're concerned then you HAVE TO talk to a specialist. Nobody on here can diagnose you.

In my unprofessional opinion, no. OCD is an anxiety disorder and you don't sound overly anxious to me. You would have to see someone for a diagnosis to be certain.

No, you don't. You very neat, when you want to be and unwarranted sexual imagery popping up in your head is perfectly normal for a maturing male. It means you're almost ready for sexy time!😉 If you had OCD, you'd find it hard to get a thought out of your head immediately (takes me 2-3 days to stop thinking about something) and be very passionate about likes and interests (and that's putting it mildly). And I didn't even touch the tip of the iceberg on this.

Well Sometimes i can't get a thought out of my head but mostly its not a problem.

[SIGguy]

Sometimes, people can't, but that doesn't mean you have OCD. Those with the disorder dwell on a thought for days and it happens incessantly.

I'm no doctor... yet, but as a person who has been dealing with OCD for almost 5 years now (and it's not just my assumption, I was actually diagnosed) I can tell you that it seems that you don't have it.
