Most of us have cultivated habitual checkings, to reassure ourselves, thats really just our lifestyles, like how you check your left front pocket and back pocket for your handphone and wallet.

A higher level would be saying 'hello' when you wake up or 3pm in the noon suddenly, as response to your frequent phone calls with your girlfriend

(now you guys know my lifestyle-used-to-be)

as response to TS, i think what you're really lacking is confidence and you feel very insecure, resulting in depression and i believe that medication is not the way to go, it suppresses but not resolve this illness.

Do you have close friends, perhaps a soulmate? you need someone to rely on, someone you can really open your heart ( or mouth ) to.

You need to relax a little, lose some tension. Entertainment is the key.

Yours truly,
my utmost concern through opinions

I dun have a gf n most of my close frens are too bz with sch n loved ones.every day there will always be new things tat will make me worry..even when I tell myself not to recheck so many times n jus carry on, tat sinking feeling will eventually haunt me like if I dont recheck, something bad will happen to me..

It`ll take quite some time for me to break out of this habit as the seeds of my condition were planted in early 2000s..poly days..then 2002, I went into NS n of coz during BMT, u know everything have to be perfect n all..like in standy-bed etc..so maybe I got possessed by tat mentality to be perfect..which is why I do things slow n meticulous, always got scolding from my mates n superiors..anyway, all I can say is I didnt have a happy time serving 2 yrs 4 mths of NS..I dont wish to explain here why..

I do talk to my friend who is a nurse, n she knows my condtion pretty well..I did feel better talking n telling her of what I`m going thru now..but most importantly as of now, I pray to God that I will be able to fully gain control of my emotions n fight OCD, till it ceases to exist.

I also been keeping myself busy like jamming in a band, that helped me to forget my troubles for a while..but sooner, they will come back to haunt me n try to bring me down to my knees, but I will never let that happen...its all in my mind now..I have to be strong to fight this evil unknown force.

I have a mild version of it.....
When I go out, I keep on checking my stuff; I am paranoid I will lose my stuff because I lost my HP before...
When I eat, my bag will be on my lap, and when I walk past the road, I will hug my bag tightly.

Obsessive compulsive disorder is very common.

according to the doctor, as long as it is not serious enough to affect your daily life you neednt go for treatment.

Hi ppl

Thanks for ur comforting replies once again...I dont think my condition is due to my lack of self-confidence..I have experienced sumting strange as well but I dont wish to discuss it here...if u guys wish to know, u can email me at [email protected]

Its a religious issue..

sggirl07 SG

i have that too.

everytime i leave my home, i will keep thinking i didnt lock my door. to the extent that even if i reach ground floor, i will still take the lift back to check.
everytime i park my car, i wil check and check that i lock my car.

i think back on how this developed. it was my father who gave me excessive pressure in making sure the house is locked and ridiculous scoldings when things were not done correctly. My father's place have 2 padlocks in addition to the wooden door lock and gate lock. and at nite, we have to latch the door from inside. ALtogether there will be 5 locks. i always wonder, if there is a fire, it will be doomed for us to open so many locks.

i tried to overcome it by consciously and carefully checking once after i lock. and if i still keep worrying, i will remind myself i had already check. That reassured me.

Think different.

Autism is a closure of oneself to whole world.

The symtoms is sometimes more prominent with autism, but its different.

Some of us term it as quirks.

viciouskitty74 SG

Like maybe you must wear a certain socks on certain days? or wear it with your left foot first then the right foot.

I think most of us has a little bit of OCD.

crispylips SG

Last ime when i was small i use to have it too. I must do everytime 4 times. Not 1 more or one less. After i started school, i grew out of it. I think it is because of bordom. Not a problem if it doesn’t affect your life adversely.

hi i am certified serious obsessive compulsive disorder since birth. it affected me maddeningly and we only understood recently.

in studies since pri school i had to re write and go over every single letter many times and liquid paper it and re write and liquid paper it and re write, repeat multiple times every word. thus i couldnt finish exams in time.

if 1 sticker or poster wasnt perfectly straight and without creases i would tear it out and restick tear it out and restick and repeat 20x until its torn then i'll throw away the entire thing. and then buy the same expensive toy up to 4 times until every single stick is pasted perfect.

even in games i HAVE to be perfect, in warcraft 90% wins isnt enough for me, even wins 50 loss 3 makes me quit that account and start another.

thats just 3 examples of 100? ways i was affected.

like you said i also had other wierd stuff happening, religious, (for me i was satanic). when i asked ppl qns my mind /voice in my head told me the answer. and when friend threw 4 dice i said the 4 numbers before they stopped bouncing and 5 ppl there were freaked. im 'better' now but for the worser in many ways perhaps psychologically tormented split personality hateful and demonically evil.
hope you get better too in every way.

all the people sayin yall got it in little ways, rechecking your stuff many times and habits like always dressing in set pattern those dont count to proper OCD. [:

dahliamorie SG

don't mind me asking Confused
why were you satanic? it started off as a thought that you were crazy/evil or what?
are you still satanic now?

Devil1976 SG

Used to have mild version of it when I was much younger...

Things got much better as my memory improved.. But before that... How I really started off 'kicking' that problem was... To tell myself certain things are not that important and ok even if small mistakes are made....

Cool-gal SG

sorry guys, but i tot its kinda of good as it makes u more careful on ur work?? i think maybe u r a more detail or precise person tats why always double checked?
for me, im a plain forgetful person. needless to say, i always screwed up stuffs.
my memory is so poor tat i always forget the things i have said or done, worse, cant rem it.

faizal82 SG

Yep, its kinda good to be careful but too much of it is too paranoid, which is what I`m goin thru now..all these double checking will no doubt take up most of ur time n will result in late completion of work..I`m struggling to find a fixed balance..

AndrewPKYap SG

The only long term "cure" is a transformation of your mind. You problem is "obvious" and in that way you are fortunate. Many people have problems that are "hidden".

You can come out stronger if you can fully transform your mind while other people continue to live their lives without realising that there is a problem and that they must transform their minds.
