Many kids wonder “How do I know if I have OCD?” Even parents might wonder that. So how can you tell if you have OCD? Here are some of the signs.
One of the most common questions I get asked is, “How do I know if I have OCD?” This question comes from parents, and it even comes from kids directly.
People don’t get OCD, so there is major confusion when trying to figure out if you have OCD or not. Parents often waste valuable time because they don’t recognize the signs of OCD.

I’ve been suspicious if I have ocd or just anxiety, I have a lot of obsessive thoughts but they’re mild and sometimes if I focus on social media it distracts me which causes me to procrastinate. I don’t want to ask my parents to check me out because I feel like it’s not enough proof but I would like to know what I’m dealing with.

If I’m eating, I have to eat the same portion of food on BOTH sides of my mouth an equal amount of times. When I accidentally step on someone’s shoe, my mind literally forced myself to step on their other shoe so that both shoes have been stepped on, it’s just...very discomforting

idk if I have ocd but, Ever since corona started I started to wash my hands consistently until it turned dry, I would always wash my hands about 5-8 times and if I didn't I would always think something bad would happen to me, I've been really upset about it and embarrassed because my parents used to call me "neat freak" or over reacting My hands were dry to the point it would kind of bleed, even though I am trying to stop being like this even if it's hard. I also used to wash things a lot, I'm messy but I used to wash my hands, face, phone alot, Even if it was dust I'd still clean it.

Every night I feel horrible. I have to check under my bed like 50 times, and even after I turn the light off I turn them on again and check AGAIN. And before I do this I have to tuck the end of my bed in properly and I slide my hands down the end to make it fit. But the I just do it a couple more times. And then when i'm finished I have to look under my bed again. And then when i'm finished I turn the light off lie down and realise my hands now have dust on them. I then wash my hands and it happens again. Then I get thirsty but every time I drink, I have to sip EVERY last single droplet of water, and even go back a couple of times to make sure my cup is positioned right. Oh not to mention if my writing is either too dark, too light, off the line or too big or small I erase the whole word and re-write it a bunch of times. I'm pretty sure I have OCD as the anxiety is soo bad, but I don't think my family will believe me or has noticed this. What should I do?

For some reason when I count in my head I end up trying to make a even pattern but once I get it to it I keep going. Like 1and 2 and, and uh, and uh , and uh. It’s weird. Also when I was younger I couldn’t sleep until I checked the window and if I felt I missed a place I would have to look again. Also I would randomly get hurt and I would feel a compulsive urge hurt the other side. Sooo take that as you will. So I guess I can add OCD to the growing number of mental illnesses I have. Edit: I also have a random compulsory instinct to retouch things.

I've had this image of someone with heterochromia stuck in my head since the day before yesterday and it's making me want to claw my eyes out, whenever I see that image of the contrast of colors between the two eyes I feel this sort of 'ache' that is different from all normal physical sensations but still so real and it makes me super anxious and I just want to get rid of that feeling so I want to get rid of the source: aka one of my eyes (I have nothing against people with heterochromia but it just happens) there's also other things like this too, if someone's features aren't balanced I would feel that 'ache' in what ever part that isn't balanced and ill just want to scratch or cut that part off my body because of this feeling I often scratch or just cause some kind of pain to that area until the compulsion is gone this is one of more recent obsessions I've had, I just realized the day before that ocd isn't just germs and stuff, but rather this cycle of obsessions and to be frank, i am still shook right now lol I've been having obsessions and intrusive thoughts since literally the time I started to have memories. I'm not sure if any of these is ocd, I also have another kind of compulsion which is to check or do something or my grades will be bad and ill be unlucky for the rest of the day or ill look ugly for the rest of my life. its 2 different things and it confuses me a lot. both have been plaguing my life since forever and recently I've been having compulsions like once or twice an hour i still dont know anything and will probably not be diagnosed until half a decade later because my parents mental illnesses are not real and its becuase I use my phone too much yikes, anyone else?

I think I have OCD I have something on my mind and if I don’t do something to figure it out or I don’t tell someone it just bothers me so so much like that’s the only thing I can think about and there was this one time we’re I heard my mom talking about grease bumps and stuff and my mind went blank and I only focused on that then I stopped eating greasy foods and I checked my skin everyday. If something is on my mind I have to find a way to make sure I figure it out or I feel this heavyness.

Mine is really bad..At a island my grandparents own every time I sleep there I have dreams of a ghost woman pressing her face on the window. It scares me a lot..so when my grandparents call me for dinner I force myself to do 50 front flips on the mattress outside. It makes me so tired I can’t even walk well, after I finish my 50 front flips I force myself to do more, and if I don’t this thing comes into my mind and it tells me the ghost girl will drag me to hell and torture me if I don’t..It’s really awful. And at school at recess I force myself to put 10 big rocks into my shoe or my mom will get in a car wreck and die. For the rest of the day I walk around with giant rocks in my shoes..It’s so awful.

If I twitch my Leg or arm on either side, I forcefully twitch the other side to balance it out. At age 10 I used to count how many letters I spoke for example if I said chocolate i knew it had nine letters so I would count four fingers and one finger halfway to even it out on both hands. It carried on for around a year and tried to avoid it. Sometimes it still happens but it’s always something that has to be put

That is one of mine aswell.

I still feel very overwhelmed when I have alot to do, it's almost like the thoughts in my brain are spinning round and I start to panic. I literally feel so unorganized until I write a list😭😭🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️.

I’m not sure if I actually have ocd or if I’m just overreacting. My whole house is a mess but my room is almost perfectly organized and when I walk into anywhere dirty or unorganized I get really anxious and try to fix it. And my whole life I’ve had this thing (and I know it sounds weird) where once I think about something, in this case it’s a construction worker idk why, but once I think about that even once, I have to keep thinking about it or something bad will happen. I do eventually forget but it’s just the thought and it’s been like that since I was really young. I hope that makes sense haha

Everyday I feel like ripping the skin off my face and screaming at something or somebody. I took up boxing because every minute of the day I just want to hit something or kill it. When I go outside, I make sure I take one step over a crack, then I have to do the same with the other foot or my legs will feel uncomfortable. I have a lot of breakout and my mind tells me that if I rip off the marks they will go away, then I get in trouble for touching them and making them bleed. I dig my fingernails into the back of my hand without realizing. I tug on my hair Bc it feels right, I cant really explain it but it makes sense in my head. When I’m in public and I am wearing something or doing something that some people might not like, I will notice everyone staring at me and I see eyes fall onto that one part of me and I just want to scream at them and hid that thing. I typically have a very bubbly personality and am known as happy girl but when I look at myself I start crying and just want to break my mirror. If I tell my mom I think I have ADHD or anxiety or ocd she will just dismiss me and say it’s because I have a strong imagination. At night before I go to bed I always see something and my mind leads over to strong sexual images. I slap myself to make it go away but it comes back. I just have to keep doing that until it goes away eventually. Most of the time it does. It’s kinda sad that my trainer noted that I have strong symptoms of depression but my own mother said I just copy what I see online. I have a pretty big friend group and am the group therapist. When I hear their problems I always know what to say to help them because I know what they feel like. I tried to take my own advice but I just can’t. If anyone else is like me lmk, I wanna know I’m not alone.

I’m not sure if I have OCD or not. I have things like ‘there’s someone under your bed’ and that I have to jump in my bed and I have to have my duvet in a certain way, all my wardrobe doors closed, socks on, my feet close to my stomach and in the middle of my bed. And if I’m eating or walking I have to do it equal or a multiple of 5 and if I don’t do these things I obsess over them for ages and I have to do something else equally twice to balance it out. But the thing is I have anxiety so it could just be that. Can anyone help me and say if that sounds like anything?

I truly think I have OCD but I have trouble explaining it to a therapist because they believe I’m just a worried teen and everything. Like i have waves through out my life where I get months sometimes a year or more of thinking about the same probelm over and over again. Like I got horribly scared of storms after a bad storm hit my nana’s house I would avoid going over there when I thought it would storm and almost everyday i thought a tornado would come and cause harm. If there was any clouds in the sky i would start worrying about a storm coming and i would ask my teachers, family, friends everyday want to weather is supposed to be like and if I’m going to be ok. This went on for at least a good 6 months or more. That was just in elementary school. Im a highschooler now and deal with much more serious and scary worries and have to ask ressurance multiple times everyday from different people. I also google and try to probe the worry wrong. And i do theses things when i get waves of it. But since i have gotten older it hasn’t been waves its more just constant. I believe i have had it since i was very young at least 7. But i have been to therapist and they don’t really let me explain much about the different situations and worry. I know my grammar isn’t the best but i dont know how to figure out for sure i have OCD and if so how to get it treated. I have been to 3 different therapist at different ages and i have had the same experience of not feeling understood completely.

This information should be better publicized, media depictions and widespread misconceptions about OCD being synonymous with being an anal neat freak made me grow up thinking there was no way I could have it. Didn't think it mattered that I got intense anxiety over intrusive thoughts about my health, and responded to them with compulsions.

I have a thing where ok so I wear a purity ring. I’m 13, so when I can’t find it or am not wearing it I get upset. Like I went to school and I couldn’t take how my hand felt without my ring and I was like I look dirty without it. I also have to head my head till I feel better or make a “neeeuuuuu” noise or sniff or twitch parts of my head or hit my legs. I’m restless but in class when I’m doing work I’m fine. I have to have 2 of almost everything and if I have more it has to be able to be divided by 2. I have like 6-10 pencils and that’s all I can have .

It's so horrible that people have to experience these things. I have not been diagnosed with Ocd but I and people close to me know that I have some form of ocd😭 which is why no one and I mean no one would dare sit on my bed🤣 once my mum sat on it and i tried to hide my discomfort on my face but my mum looked at me and got up and fixed the creases, we both started laughing so badly, from that day every one always asks me before sitting down, some days I let people and others I say I'm sorry but no, I will stand and you can sit at my desk🤣🤣🤣it's such an inconvenience but it's manageable at the same time, I feel like the more people respect and understand your ocd, the more manageable it becomes💖💕💗. I also try to laugh about mine because sometimes i find it wierd/funny that I have to do all these things to make myself feel comfortable, other times it's just so annoying.

Also I count stuff, like when I go up my stairs I count every step. I can’t step on a crack/line, and if I do I have to step on the line/crack. I also have to eat the same amount on each side (if I had 40 grapes and I can only eat 20 on each) but if I have 41 grapes then I have to split the grape in half
