It might contain itself or equally it might multiply to other things as well but right now you just dont know

Do you know what actually triggered your OCD in the last year ?

I do not remember any thing triggering mine and simply assumed that it was just a natural extension of my personality

What will you do if it carries on getting worse ? How would you stop it ? Have you considered anything ?
Do you experience it all of the time or is it only at particular times ? And is it specific or more general ?
I notice it more when I'm stressed or if I'm in a hurry. Not sure how to stop it. Try and ignore it I suppose.

You could try and ignore it or reduce the stress that triggers it instead

I disagree, but you just admitted you're not anorexic.
Urwrongx1000 wrote:OCD is actually a positive trait, not a negative. Almost all star athletes, businessmen, and competitors of all kinds, have high degrees of OCD. How else could somebody put 8-12 hours per day into their specialization and abilities, if it were not for OCD? The problem with OCD is when obsessive-compulsion is linked to bad behaviors and habits rather than good. Drug abusers and addicts, for example, could be said to have "OCD" with relation to their specific addictions.
The challenge is to direct obsession into something that is personally and/or socially beneficial. Then it would not be a "disorder".
Excessive cleanliness, hoarding instincts, perfectionism, these are the 'normal' associations to OCD.
