In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5th Edition the linkage between Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive spectrum disorders is not really discussed, but in clinical practice a link is often observed in patients.
I just quickly went through the Yale Brown OCD index last night (in the appendix of the OCD workbook I was reading) and was a bit surprised to find that I scored at about 21 which is a couple of points away from severe OCD.
Now this test is supposed to be administered by a trained professional, so if you want to take it try to understand what is meant by "intrusive thoughts" and "rituals" or "compulsions". If you don't understand what is meant by those terms there would be no point to taking this test. Anyhow your result will only be "heuristic" since you or I are not trained clinicians but if you score high on this you might want to bring up the possibility that you deal with OCD with your care providers.

My dad ladies and gentlemen, give him a hand.
For me it's about 30 Million. I wanted to stash more but I'm trying to find another Goliath to add to my fleet.
read above ^
so yeah.... one page. ONE PAGE filled with so much open-ended things... i have so many suggestions and ideas that i kind of want to share but like, "oh, this might be cool" and not "WAIT DO THIS OMG YES", which is me by nature.
they also have many, many, mAnY spelling, grammar and plot holes. i feel bad i commented on their thing with suggestions and criticism and hit the word limit. twice. i have not yet posted the comments. i'm trying to edit them to be a little more tactful... this friend has an easily damaged self-confidence. if needed, i can post the criticism here.
bottom line: ________ in all seriousness, tho, i want advice on how to help them edit their thing and make it nicer (for school, right, this story is for school) without taking away from the main storyline, damaging said friend's self-confidence or seeming way too pushy about things?
I suffer from a mild to moderate degree of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) and I feel like it fuels my gaming addiction.
I've stopped playing online competitive games for almost three years and I'm currently not playing any online games (no co-op or MMOs); I've only been playing offline single player story-driven games. That's where my OCPD comes in. I get fixated on "completing" games. It's not so bad that I want to do every side quest and hunt every achievement but it's more of wanting to complete at least the main story of games within a series/franchise. I now mostly play story-driven games just for the sake of checking off an arbitrary checklist that I've created in my mind.
There's a particular franchise I've loved when I was younger but have mostly grown out of now. I played games 1-7 and 10. It really, really, REALLY bothers me to have skipped games 8 and 9. I switched to PC when 8 and 9 first released and they were not available on PC. Both games 8 and 9 have been ported to PC several years ago now and my brain has been nagging me to play them for years so that I can fill that "hole" between games 7-10. I have burned out of story-driven games long ago but this problem is what's driving me to continue to play them even when they feel like chores.
Just as I am typing this out, game 8 just finished downloading on Steam. My brain is telling me to just play them to get it "done and over with" and out of my system.
Does anyone else have similar experiences to this? How do you deal with it?

Obsessive compulsive
she said
as the numbers rang in my head -
7-8, 7-8
it’s getting late,
I state, syphoning those words
8-9, 8-9
do you repeat speech in that way?
she asks.
as though lines from a play?
9-10, 9-10
I rock her words in my pen -
obse-ssive compulsive
obse-ssive compulsive
10-11,10-11
I repeat
trying to turn off the heat of those words
11-12, 11-12
my foot taps in rhythm
as I writhe in her stare
12-13, 12-13
It’s a coping mechanism she says -
a trained reaction
13-14, 13-14
It must be time to go
the clock says so
14-15, 14-15
Good bye, till next week
I say
as they repeat in my head

Hello i just need some advice or opinions. Ive always struggles as a teen with focusing & getting things done. Like cleaning up my house, remembering to pay bills all the time. Just alot of things I can’t even think of right now. So i got fed up & decided to get tested for adhd. The results came back yesterday & they said the computer stimulating test came back strong for the inattentive type. Which i agree with. But then she said I tested strongly or severely for OCD on the other test, which was questions or scenarios about my self. Then after researching OCD im like yup that’s me. I also read they are easily confused for each other all the time. I have an appointment Friday with my primary care physician to start medication for the add. & an therapy appointment Monday evening. Monday is also my first day of my new job & i just want my brain to finally be able to function properly so i can excel. But now i feel like treatment for ocd suits me better. I don’t know a little insight would help
Has it ever occurred to you that you are watching online someone else play The Sims and you get really stressed out because they WON'T PAUSE THE GAME, not even once? Is 'Obsessive Compulsive Pause' syndrome a thing? I'm constantly pausing the game everytime I make a choice.
Sim wakes up. Pause. Check his needs. Sim is really hungry. Order Sim to eat. Un-pause.
Sim finish eating. Pause. Check his needs. Bladder is close to turn yellow. Check his aspiration. Needs to read a book. Order Sim to read something. Un-pause.
Sim finish reading. Pause. Check his needs. Bladder is yellow. Hygiene is almost also yellow. Order Sim to use the toilet and take a shower. Un-pause.

When mining out steel in a mountain wall near my base. I can't let the mining site be uneven. Even if it costs me time for nothing, I have to mine an area so that it's flat lines and no bumps. For example if it's a long flat mountain wall and 1x + 2x3 pieces of stone sticks out I have to mine them.

I can't make rooms that are even numbers (Like 8x9, 7x6, 10x10). All rooms and buildings HAVE to be odd numbers (7x7, 9x5, 7x11) - because if not - a door won't be in the exact middle of the room, or if 2 doors, they need to have the exact length to each corner.
Now that my siblings are dead and she's caught in the grip of Alzheimer's, I'm desperately trying to remember all of her old habits.
So yesterday I went to my therapist and we had a good session but she was saying how being raised in a traumatic environment like the JW cult can cause a degree of ptsd as well as how when kids are put under a lot of stress and can’t make their own choices they either go one of 2 ways they rebel or they try to control everything since we had no control in life I went that route suposably and that’s how and why I’m called a control freak all the time as well as my panic episodes thank you jw cult may many future generations never experience you , honestly I can’t wait for the jws to fall from their high tower
do any of you also fear losing your whole identity? My gender, my sexual orientation, all this kinds of stuff.
im a lesbian. how this obsession has been affecting me with is that it created a fear (probably my biggest fear, if I’m being honest) of being a trans guy, a trans gay guy.
this happened to me before but just with my sexuality. I was absolutely terrified of being bi or straight, avoiding bisexual or straight media, everyday waking up feeling like I was lying to myself, so much more, obviously, so much more.
i got over it in like two months and not much more. I can now watch bi media peacefully like I did before my obsession started. now I can do everything that used to trigger me during that time and it doesn’t trigger me at all. It’s just nice, like it used to be before it.
But this is so much worse. I sometimes keep checking trans mlm media to see how I feel about it and if I relate to it. I never do, and it has never caught my eye before this new obsession started. I still find no much interest in it. And as a queer person, I don’t like feeling triggered by other folks. I feel like I’m being unfair but that same group of people and that same media it’s exactly what triggers me.
gosh I hate this. Does anyone here also feels like this obsession with their gender affected their sexual orientation? How? Let’s see if we can help each other out somehow
That was my question. I always miss the dip waiting to see how low it's going to go and then it turns around and I'm stuck on the outside totally missing out! (Which isn't terrible mind you, fomo looses it's effect, you just have to exercise it, lol) Is there a rule of thumb or percentage you go by, or can you see it in the charts, or is it just a personal decision based on your particular feelings about the price?
Learner here. I'm having trouble differentiating between the anxiety disorders and OCD. To me, the symptoms overlap greatly, especially if they don't have the compulsions. Some patients that I've seen diagnosed with GAD have ruminative anxiety that is so overwhelming that it appears to be intrusive, but these thoughts are not specific to one type (eg contamination). How do you differentiate between the two?
I just read the recent post on here that talks about the OCD and addiction. I’ve previously contemplated the thought that my boyfriend has it. He has talked about certain symptoms and even brought up that his psychiatrist considered the possibility of OCD. I know his porn use is a compulsion for sure. He talks about working on the sexual intrusive thoughts (about masturbation by watching porn) that are so frequent that they’ve become obsessions. He’s gotten a lot better at ignoring these thoughts, but obviously it will take a very long time for him to manage these things. I’m posting this just to see if anyone else has experienced a similar situation in relation to OCD. Sometimes I feel bad when I resent him for the immense pain he’s caused me because I know that obsessions and compulsions can be uncontrollable. I understand these feelings to some extent because I experience compulsions with skin picking, hair pulling, and thumb sucking. But the difference is that his behaviors effect me in an extreme and borderline abusive way. it ruins me and our relationship. I empathize with him, but at the same time I’ve been angry and traumatized so much that I’m putting thought into ending our relationship. I am aware I need to put myself first, but I still have lingering guilt.
Hello, I am a third year Psychology student at the University of Winchester (UK) currently completing my final year project, which is looking at the relationship between cognitive biases and obsessive compulsive symptoms.
I would be grateful if you could take time to complete my study, it should take about 20 minutes. Please follow the link below to find out more information and to take part.
Thank you in advance for your time

I realized after over 1100 hours in FO4 that I have an obsessive urge to look into every container, check nooks and crannies of every room for potential useful junk even though I probably have more than I ever need back in my settlement.
I lost count how many playthroughs I've done in this game, and there's always a list of location that I've been meaning to explore but never gotten the time. I think the biggest mental block on exploring these non-quest related location is that I know I'm gonna spend way too much time in there looting everything.
Even towards fairly end game where my gear is fully upgraded and settlement pretty much built and fully functional adhesive farm, I still have this compulsive need to horde every fan, aluminum can, all ammo types, circuit boards, duct tapes, clipboard, nuka cola, and it would bugs me to no end that I'm afraid that I coulda missed a shelf or a toolbox.
I think this needs to stop, but I really don't know how. I don't have OCD in real life, so I don't know how I developed this playing this game.
Hello everybody, I was kind of a hoarder when I was a child, collecting everything and having lot of difficulties parting with any object. Then I had an obsessive-compulsive decluttering phase. I threw away so many things, even sentimental ones. Now that period is over, and I feel so bad for discarding all that stuff. My hoarding habits have come back, and now I'm trying to fill the void left accumulating as many things as possible. I can't spend a day without thinking about my lost items, it's been like a self-induced trauma. I deal with a lot of mental illnesses, and I can't see a way to go on. I'm sorry for this rant, but I know that many people here can understand the attachment to possessions, so I think you can relate better than most of people.
