Re: Is this OCD ?

Oh, interesting question...

People I know with diagnosed OCD, they are not necessarily aware of or expressing anxiety at all. But if they close a door and hear it click, they would then want to make sure of doing a really good job with that door, and click it 4 or 5 more times and they explain to me that it's just... being conscientious about the door.

But how about having an anxious response and then reacting to it over and over? Is that the thing? Because I have that!

What you're talking about could have a number of causes. There are all kinds of stressful social conditions causing anxiety. Also if you're a sensitive person who wants to belong and harmonize with people, there are plenty of circumstances that can make this difficult, for sure.

Well, I had better hush and listen to more knowledgeable people. Thank you for this question...

Best wishes,
