I think talking to someone would be very helpful here. Doesn't need to be a professional but possibly a parent. Do you have a good relationship...
I have to agree with the people above who suggest that mere actions/mannerisms/perceptions are not the best way to figure out your answer here....
Agree with all of the above. Be careful putting too much stock in specific diagnoses offered online. At the same time, great advice above to see...
I agree with all of what you say below except one thing. VERY important not to perpetuate HOCD and giving people in denial one more thing to...
Great to hear alwayshope. I've been working through the same. Good luck!
Hayyy and Socal. A little clarification on OCD, which someone else on here taught me, but I've looked into on my own. There is NO such thing as...
