Today, my boyfriend found out I have OCD. When I touch something with one hand I have to touch it with the other or I freak. After I brushed his face with the back of my hand he tackled me to the floor, held me down, and laughed at me while I panicked and tried to touch him with my other hand. FML

I sincerely hope he was doing it because he either doesn't fully understand the concept of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or just to help you in some way to see that you don't have to do those things and things will be okay. For those of you who are claiming it's 'not much of a disorder' and 'sincerely funny', you want to try having it yourself. I've had OCD since I can remember, and it was diagnosed when I was 11. No one, apart from my family and boyfriend, know I have it. I don't tell people. I'm on anti-depressants for the OCD as well as depression, which again no one knows about apart from my boyfriend and one member of my family. It's much harder to cope with than you'd think. And yeah, there are those people claiming to have OCD who don't, but you get that with every illness. You just have to leave them to it. I really hope your OCD gets better, OP. :) I'm lucky in the fact that my boyfriend supports me. If he did that to me, I'd probably get really annoyed and then find it cute when I calmed down. ): I'm a soft touch.

i agree with 203. too many people say and think they have OCD and usually its just a major habit. if OP does have OCD im sorry but its really hard to believe with how many people out there say they do when they dont

that is the funniest thing I've heard all week!!

I had OCD in high school and it was the EXACT same things.. plus more but the touching was my biggest. If anyone at school found out they would touch me cause they didn't believe me. I also got asked all these stupid questions like the ones people have written. And, YES tons of people think they have OCD, it's amazing how many people would say "oh I have that too! I always lock my doors before i go to bed." ( or something stupid like that) Everyone has habits and a little bit of OCD, but that doesn't mean they have OCD. OCD is when your obsessions and compulsions control your life, when literally all you think of is your rituals and tics. Whether you want to or not. OCD is when it's so bad your school has to give you special accomidations just so you can make it through the day. My boyfriend in highschool actually was drawn to me because of it, weird i know, but he took it as seriously as I did and did everything he could to help me and stick up for me. To the poster: I get it. It sucks! I tried tons of therapy and none of it worked, they put me on an anxiety medication and most of it went away! I still have tics and obsessions but I can live a normal life now, it never leaves you but it can become less severe. I really hope you find something that works for you. Because it's not the way you want to live wether you see it or not right now! PS: If your boyfriend doesn't come to understand that its real and serious to you, there's a better guy out there!

The appropriate phrase is "clinically significant distress or impairment."

Thats horrible, I have OCD and everyone who finds out thinks it's funny so they touch one side of me and refuse to touch the other or they touch me an odd number of times and laugh. People don't understand how bad it is unless they have it, if they knew they wouldn't even think about doing things like that. I'm sorry that happened to you sweetie, he sounds like he needs to grow up a bit.

haha I think it's kinda cute lol but still mean (:

I have OCD too, basically the same kind. For me if I touch something with one hand then I have to touch it with the other. But I have to keep doing it until it feels right. So like Right Left Left Right Left Right Right Left Right Left Left Right Left Right Right Left. Ugh.

I have the same thing. I didn't think others had that left-right issue.
