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

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 don't know what this is, I don't know enough about OCD, my psychiatrist put me on a medication and told me I have OCD and a mood disorder but I didn't ask any questions because I didn't want to be annoying. I have "evidence" that every year, when I think about death, the world kills someone I love, and it always happens twice. I have nothing to help change that, like, I don't do anything with my thoughts or anything numbers or ritually, so I wasn't sure if it even was OCD, but I do move my hands in certain ways to make my friends happy or improve their lives. Also I cant turn off my fan or something SA related will happen (i dont know how) I think that the world is threatening me, and that if I do something wrong or involve myself with certain things, the world will punish me and the people around me, so all I can do is apologize I've tried looking into the different types of OCD, and all of them are things that I've been anxious about before, but I haven't really been so anxious about any one of them in particular or held onto it for so long, or done any rituals, that I would probably not even say I have OCD. Like, I worry that I'm a nazi, I worry that I like kids, I worry that I killed my friend, I worry that I have schizophrenia or am somehow giving myself it, I worry that I'm going to abuse someone, I worry that I've already abused someone, I worry that somehow I might die, I worry people can hear my thoughts, I worry about ignoring my friend when he cried out for help, I worry that God has already rejected me from heaven, I worry that I like women, I worry that if I don't hit the hammer 9 times on the wall when Im using it that just something bad will happen that I dont know what and I don't know why, and I feel like I don't have a single compulsion that can even "fix" or bring relief to any of these things besides saying sorry, because if I say sorry at least people know that I am apologetic for the crimes I've committed, but saying sorry doesn't fix anything except my own guilt so I'm just a bad person looking for sympathy or seeking attention I don't know enough about OCD, and I don't know how to seek help for my condition because I don't even know if that's really what I have, if I'm not just simply anxious, or possibly schizophrenic Does any of this seem familiar to anyone? Can it be this varied and unfocused? Does this really sound like OCD, or can it be anything else, because I don't want to bark up the wrong tree when I could just be taking medication for something else.

I can't explain my obsession to anyone without it sounding crazy and no one understands the obsession, so I won't try to here. But has that happened to anyone? An obsession that you can't put into words and no one understands? I was making a tiny bit of progress with my NOCD therapist, but I couldn't afford it anymore. So I'm just feeling alone, scared, and crazy. Just wanted to reach out here. Thank you
