ya, i find that, i obsess over being scared of harming people, but i don’t do compulsions when i’m stressed but instead I just have an urge to touch that wall five times or count to ten on my finger three times, would this be ocd and tics?

I would consider that a compulsion, you’re going to feel uncomfortable unless you hit the wall five times I’ve been in the exact same spot.

Tics and ocd are closely related. Tics are related to dysfunction in the putamen and ocd is more related to dysfunction of the caudate. Tics and ocd more often occur together than with other disorders. Tics and Tourette are both on the ocd spectrum. What specifically were you wanting to know? We're any of these facts helpful? Many people (including me) have compulsive movements that aren't quite compulsions and aren't quite rice, you just really need to smell or touch or tap and you don't know why but you can't stop even if you wanted. I compulsively sing, touch, scratch, and lots of other similar repetitive behaviors but they aren't really tics in my case

And aren't quite TICS, not rice. SORRY that was autocorrect.

There’s a disorder called PANS, my daughter has it. It’s quite serious . Google PANS disorder and see if you have other symthoms, , but OCD and Tics are a huge component of it. It has to be treated or the disorder progresses. My daughter has it. Also there’s a documentary called Brain on Fire highlighting how oragnisms, such as strep or a virus can actually attack your brain. Most psych and reg doctors miss it. It takes a functional doctor to treat properly.

Compulsions and tics
I know I just posted, but can someone please tell me how to stop compulsions and ticks? My OCD is really bad and my compulsions are getting really repetitive and I just I can’t stop them. I’m scared because I keep ticking and doing compulsions and I can’t seem to stop it and it feels like I’m having a seizure but I don’t have epilepsy so I don’t know what that feels like, but all my muscles are tensing and I can’t stop squeezing and tensing up. It’s really really not fun and it feels like I need to be putting a straight jacket or something. I’m scared anyone please.

OCD Medical Question?
(TW- Please don’t read if you have ocd relating to one off/random medical events) ^ ^ ^ ^ okay so this is something I’ve been confused about for YEARS and completely sped up my ocd symptoms, I had a one off seizure a few years ago, it wasn’t a major one but enough to have family take me to the hospital afterwards, I don’t remember anything whilst it was happening and I was unwell at the time too. I did all the tests and nothing came back, even tested for epilepsy but I don’t have that. No one has been able to give me a reason and that set off my ocd since mine is mostly based around things I cant see hurting me or others (contamination ocd) or me making the wrong decision (rOCD, real event etc etc) (no clue I had ocd at this point though, only got diagnosed last year) I know they can be stressed induced too but I remember not feeling that stressed that night and not much was going on… Is there anyone that’s experienced the same thing?? Could it be OCD related at all?

Misdiagnosis & OCD
OCD is so much more than just being 'neat' or 'organized'—it’s relentless, exhausting, and often deeply misunderstood. The intrusive thoughts, the compulsions, the anxiety—it can feel like a never-ending cycle that others just don’t seem to get. Many of us have had experiences where even therapists didn’t fully grasp the depth of our struggles. I myself faced difficulty being misdiagnosed and my talk therapist not understanding the full extent of what I was going through until I found NOCD. So many prior therapists wrote off my symptoms as general anxiety, not realizing it was actually OCD all along. If you could sit down with a therapist who truly wanted to understand, what do you wish they knew about OCD?
