For the many people out there who don't know what OCD is or means, it stands for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Still haven't heard of it? That's hardly suprising seeming as only 1-2% of the population are suffering from it. Although not that serious at first, without controlling it or stopping it, it can quickly take over your life.
OCD is a strange thing. It's where people will only settle for things when they feel it is perfect, and they will do whatever it takes to make what they've done "just right". Take, for example, the locking of a door-now we all think 'am I sure that i've locked that door?' But a person suffering from OCD will go back from wherever they are and make sure that door is locked...and again...and again...and, well, you kind of get the picture. Some sufferers use a specific number, like 3 for example, and will check and do everything 3 times. Pretty disturbing if you have to do everything you do in that day three times.
I discovered that I had it last year. It hasn't been properly diagnosed, but all the signs are there. I just wondered...'am i the only one?' Does anybody else think or know they have OCD. Post a comment.
