    I think I have OCD, but I'm not sure.
    I'm currently fifteen, almost sixteen. I'm in High school. Recently, I guess the pasr few month's to a year, I've been having these random thoughts run through my head... I try to control them as best I can, but I can't. The thoughts are sexual, sometimes it's like I'm trying to imagine how a certain girl (sometime's a girl I like) would look naked (I most sound like a complete loser right now). I can't control these thoughts sometimes, I feel really bad for these thoughts, and I sometimes can't look at the girl with out fearing she can see right through me and see what I'm thinking. I would NEVER do anything to hurt anyone, but still I feel really bad that something bad is going to happen. No one else knows about this, I'm afraid to tell anyone, even my doctor. I also have these thoughts were something bad happens, either I'm in a wreck or something. I also post things online, then for some reason delete them for fears I'm not sure of. I read online that all three of these are signs of OCD, but I wanted to ask here, and hopefully get some advice and thoughts. I also have these fears about the house burning down, so I turn every light off when I leave a room. I also am obssesed with doors! I always check the back door several times to make sure it's locked, and I shake the door to make sure it's secure. I also hate tall buildings. I am scared to death to go inside them, especailly to go on top of them, I fear it will collapse, or a plane will hit it. I also am afraid of parking garages, again I fear that the concrete will collapse on top of me and crush me. I was alread diagnosed with Hypochondria, which is under control now, I rarely worry about my health, sure I don't like being around sick people, but I don't worry about Cancer as much as I used to. Does it sound like I have OCD? Please help.

    Possibly. Or it could just be the hypochondria making you think you do, maybe it's not really under control. Your dr is there to help you. Talk to them. Let them know what's going on so that they can help you

    I think u most certainly do! Take it from me I have OCD and I worry a lot of the same stuff as u. U need to tell someone asap so u can get it taken care of because if u don't take care of it soon it will just keep getting worse.

    yep, you have OCD. No question. There may be other underlying conditions too. Check out this link: Mental disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and also the first DSM link on that page.

    The random sexual thoughts are less of an issue especially at your age. There is an cliché where men supposedly think about sex all but 5 min of the day. It also may be a sign of a different type of OCD, Obsessive-cumpulsive thinking.

    The constantly checking the door to see if it's locked is OCD.
