Is this a sign of OCD?

[Anonymous]

So recently I’ve been really obsessing about how I smell, I want to smell good. I have been taking a few baths a day cause I don’t want to smell. Like this morning I took a bath at 7am and now it’s almost 4 and I’m taking another one. I don’t want to smell, I don't know if this is like OCD but I do suffer from intrusive thoughts as well. But I don’t want to self diagnose either.

Hey dear, i was diagnosed with severe OCD 9 years ago.


About what you have said we need to check some things like:
does it cause high anxiety on you?
Is it damaging your daily life?
Do you have thoughts associated with this bothersome? (What would be the problem to smell?, what would happen to you?)...


And these things need to be checked by a psychologist or psychiatrist,
although i do not think it is looking like OCD, thank God,
but if it is, I assure that is better to have an early diagnostic than a late one!


Good luck!

You should better see a doctor about this, you have certainly some kind of a mental thing butit may not be so serious

Yeah you're crazy, you only need to take one bath a day unless you got all sweaty. Put on some deodorant and call it a day
