Do I have OCD?

How do I know if I have OCD?

In school, I tend to empty my pencil case and line up all of my pens. At home, when tidying or laying the tabe, everything has to be in perfect lines. My hands always feel greasy, so I wash them a lot (it’s not handsweat) When whriting, I ceep reawhriting every sentance to make sure I’ve formed it right. When doing something (like writing an answer in a test, chosing clothes, presents etc.) I always think “I hope I don’t regret this”, thinking that if I do think that, I wont regret it.

Is this normal or could I have OCD? Im 14, can you develop OCD at that age?

Answer #1

Look up the site amblessed posted, it summarizes it nicely…

I want to point out, for any disorder to be labelled a disorder

a. It has to be distressing… (so if this isnt bothering you then it’s not OCD…) or b. it has to be dysfunctional… (it has to be taking up a lot of time or interferring with your daily functioning in some way…)

and yes, you can develop it at any age
