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.

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?

I need you people😞!
please i need someone to share experiences... - that a certain facial expression of a person to whom ocd is attached causes a lot of thoughts that are connected to that facial expression, and that the images in your head are very detailed, and that they have a sound, words, and that you have a feeling of some kind of crawling from the groin all over your body?

Hello, someone I care about has OCD.
Someone I care about has OCD, he often gets worried to answer certain things in fear that he might be wrong or gets anxious in times when certain conversations such as dealing with negative emotions come into play and in the event something goes wrong even though we deal with the issue it takes him a long time to put himself back together. Often times worried about his image, hyper focused on being a good person etc etc. I believe I’m doing my best but as someone who doesn’t struggle with OCD I cant fully comprehend him and i wish to learn more about it, not just read it off of google. Any advice would be appreciate it. -Thank you!
