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.
i’ve had this for over 8 years, and i can still write and read fine so idk
is that what pans is
Hey everyone!! So I’ve been diagnosed with moderate ocd. Sometimes when a new symptom arises with my ocd, I don’t how to combat it. Since I have ocd, sometimes I get scared that it might mean somethings else. So basically I have this weird thing where I need to pull my hair or rip it out. I thought it was trichotillomania but I’m not sure. I was gonna talk about it in therapy today but I forgot. When this happens I usually get a feeling in my scalp where I have to pull or rip my hair out to feel better. It is weird. Sometimes I don’t need to pull my hair out, I can get that satisfaction just from tugging of it and feeling the hair being tugged . The feeling of needing to pull my hair even shows up no only on my scalp but my shoulder muscle and I have to pull my hair or stretch it to feel better. I’m not sure if it is Tourette’s. Can someone let me know if they have had this or similar to it. What if so what is it? Is it just plain ocd. Help!!
Can someone explain what magical thinking OCD is please :))
I’m confused. I don’t know how this is supposed to work. Can anyone relate to this??? I don’t have anyone who understands just what my ocd is. I barely understand it. No matter what I do and where, my thoughts hit me. I can be blinking the wrong way and I have to blink until it feels right.. same for swallowing, touching things, light switches and setting down cups. I have to sit and stand up multiple times until it feels right. Step on certain things like cracks in sidewalk as many times I feel is needed. Wash my hands multiple times. Even when texting, I can type out a whole paragraph and my mind tells me to delete it all and start again because it’s not right. When something isn’t right my mind tells me that someone I love is going to die or get hurt. And for some reason I obsess over certain days, like a day someone I love it born. I will sit there and flip a light switch with that date in my mind and a bad thought that something will happen and I can’t stop until I feel that person in my head is safe and everything is fine. In a way I feel that I am saving them and myself from something bad. Can anyone relate? And maybe share how you’re dealing with it all? Please and thank you.
