Bah, this is beyond pissing me off now.
Basically, I've already seen doctors and therapists for anxiety before, and we did mention OCD. My therapist said if I had OCD symptoms, they could just be a part of my panic disorder, rather than having full blown OCD.
That was a while ago. I've got worse since then. These are some of the things I have to do:
1) I check my door is locked in sets of 8. I usually do it 32 times, but on a good day I may only do it 16 times and on a bad day way over 100 times. Sometimes, I just can't stop checking it and I get really worked up over it
2) I check my window is shut and locked in sets of 4 before I go to bed. Pretty much the same as above
3) I tug door handles 3 times whenever I enter/leave a room.
4) Whenever I'm talking to someone, I often have to imagine things from their point of view. Not like a normal person, I have to do it over and over again. This makes it harder to listen to them talking, so I get stuck between obsessing and listening to them, and I end up getting worked up because I can't do either properly. It happens ALL the time.
5) Pretty much the same as above. I have to repeat thoughts over and over. This frustrates my boyfriend a lot, because he can tell I'm not listening to him, so I normally tell him to give me a few minutes so I can finish obsessing. I can't do this with friends, so usually end up missing chunks of conversation (this also applies to lectures, tv programmes, anything)
Does it look fairly likely I have OCD? I know if I really want to know the answer I should see my GP, but I'm just interested in people's opinions here. Also, for those that do have OCD, does going to a doctor help that much? I'm a bit sick of seeing people for anxiety and would like to avoid that if possible, and I have already found ways of coping with some obsessions on my own.
