What is OCD?
Short for Obsseive Compulsive Disorder
OCD Is a disorder that cause Obessive thoughts and/or compulsive actions resulting from a shortage of a chemical inside the frontal lobe of the brain. There are many ways to take care of OCD. The two best ways are behavior therapy and medication (what I use). Unlike most other mental disorders people with OCD lead mostly normal lives and are aware of their disorder. The disorder can be extremely stressful on it's victims. In fact is a stress so bad that most people without the disorder have probably ever experienced.
Because of OCD George kept checking to see if the toilet was flushed even though he knew it was.
Because of OCD Jeff constantly washed his hands for germs until they became blistered and raw.
Because of OCD Andrew couldn't handle a gun because he was afraid he would harm someone he cared about with it.

OCD - what is it?
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a stressful mental disorder characterized by rituals and irrational fears.
A person with OCD may be unable to leave their house without checking to make sure every door is locked 12 times or be unable to turn on a light switch without flicking it multiple times until it feels right.
There are many different types of OCD; however, liking your things to be orderly and not being messy does not mean you have OCD.
Person 1: "Oh my God I'm soooo OCD. I always keep my room clean."
Person 2: "I actually have OCD and I can't leave my house or even open the door without having to bleach my entire house to avoid death by harmful bacteria."
Person 1 "I'm so OCD, I order my pencils on my desk to make them look pretty."
Person 3: "I've actually been diagnosed with OCD and it took me ten minutes to walk into this classroom because I had to step on all of the lines perfectly and walk around the desks in a specific order just to be able to sit down without having a panic attack."
Person 1: "Ew, that M&M is a different color than the other M&M's. I'm so OCD, I'm going to take it out."
Person 4: "I actually have OCD and I have to organize every item in my house perfectly all of the time because of the irrational fear that my family and friends will die or leave me."
What does "OCD" mean?
Imagine that your mind got stuck
on a certain thought or image…
Then this thought or image got replayed in your mind
over and
over again
no matter what you did…
You don’t want these thoughts — it feels like an avalanche…
Along with the thoughts come intense feelings of anxiety…
Anxiety is your brain’s alarm system. When you feel anxious, it feels like you are in danger. Anxiety is an emotion that tells you to respond, react, protect yourself, DO SOMETHING!
On the one hand, you might recognize that the fear doesn’t make sense, doesn’t seem reasonable, yet it still feels very real, intense, and true…
Why would your brain lie?
Why would you have these feelings if they weren’t true? Feelings don’t lie… Do they?
Unfortunately, if you have OCD, they do lie. If you have OCD, the warning system in your brain is not working correctly. Your brain is telling you that you are in danger when you are not.
When scientists compare pictures of the brains of groups of people with OCD, they can see that some areas of the brain are different than the brains of people who don’t have OCD.
Those tortured with OCD are desperately trying to get away from paralyzing, unending anxiety…
Obsessions are thoughts, images or impulses that occur over and over again and feel outside of the person’s control. Individuals with OCD do not want to have these thoughts and find them disturbing. In most cases, people with OCD realize that these thoughts don’t make any sense. Obsessions are typically accompanied by intense and uncomfortable feelings such as fear, disgust, doubt, or a feeling that things have to be done in a way that is “just right.” In the context of OCD, obsessions are time consuming and get in the way of important activities the person values. This last part is extremely important to keep in mind as it, in part, determines whether someone has OCD — a psychological disorder — rather than an obsessive personality trait.
Compulsions are the second part of obsessive compulsive disorder. These are repetitive behaviors or thoughts that a person uses with the intention of neutralizing, counteracting, or making their obsessions go away. People with OCD realize this is only a temporary solution but without a better way to cope they rely on the compulsion as a temporary escape. Compulsions can also include avoiding situations that trigger obsessions. Compulsions are time consuming and get in the way of important activities the person values.

OCD - definition
A.)Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a mental illness resulting in persistant illogical fears and ideas, and often, particular habits created and followed out so as to avoid the fears and anxiety they cause.
B.) Why I suffer.
A.) In the sixth grade, I was so afraid of choking on food that I would only eat soup or mashed potatoes. I weighed 60 lbs, and almost died before I slowly was brought onto solid foods again.
B.) I'm afraid of eveything now. Its stupid, but I can't stop it. I'm afraid of people, yet I love them. I want love, but I'm too cowardly to look for it. Instead I get caught up in the deluded fantasies in my head and wait for the world to go away.
OCD - slang
A stressful disorder. You constantly feel like your forgetting something, even when you've checked things over multiple times. Everything you do has to be perfect and any minor flaw ruins the entire "image". You have to fix little things like for example, if 10 cans are lined up, and one is slightly out of place, you HAVE to fix it or otherwise the thought of that can being messed up will knaw at you until you fix it. You'll leave home and remember you left something turned on or left something on its charger, and you'll have a complete panic attack. Trust me, it sucks, I'm 13 and have OCD. I wake up at 2am sometimes and feel like i HAVE to clean the kitchen or I wont be able to sleep. Please don't make fun of it or underestimate it.
Guy 1-Where's Timmy?
Guy 2-He left his bedroom light on at home and he had to go back an turn it off.

OCD
NOT a FUCKING ADJECTIVE. It is in fact, a real disorder and should not be used to describe how someone acts.
"OMG I'm like so OCD." (no, just no)
OCD
A disorder that can be a mild illness or a severe illness.
The disorder includes the following: Obsessive thoughts, problems with concentration/focusing... Etc.
Example of an event that can often occur: Scratching left side of your cheek, then scratching right, and then both, and continuing until the 'ritual' is complete. Personally I have OCD and I can tell you, it is f**king hell having it.
Person 1: *Scratching left cheek, right cheek, then both, doing almost everything symmetrically*.
Person 2: Why are you scratching yourself so much?
Person 1: OCD...
OCD
One of the worst mental illnesses to exist, something the devil himself pulled out of his asshole to torture all of us.
It's repetitve behavior to fulfill whatever your compulsively thinking about. For me it's washing my hands a.k.a fear of germs. I can't even touch my dog unless I wash my hands afterwards. It's an embarrassing disorder to live with and people will think you're crazy and bizarre. Some will have sympathy for you if they aren't an asshole, having such compulsive behavior can make you very hot and bothered and also others around you very annoyed and overall just depressing.
Because little jimmy had OCD he couldn't stop thinking about washing his hands after he touched Rebecca's phone. So he went to the bathroom and washed his hands multiple times. Poor Jimmy
