OCD is so annoying

[Nakamichi]

Around the same time i got depression so bad i couldnt function well anymore i also got OCD and it kinda just got worse.

Like a complete Lunatic i keep checking if the doors are closed, windows are closed, if the oven is off, if my hands are clean... stuff like that and i cant stop myself.

Its gotten to a point where i annoy myself so badly with it that it actually makes me really angry, but i just cant stop.

I kinda wonder "Wait... DID i check the doors RIGHT? Am i ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN they are closed?" and im never absolutely certain about anything, so i keep doing it and it wastes such an ungodly amount of time.

I roll my eyes at myself, realizing how nuts i am, but i STILL cant stop doing it.

I go to bed, its comfy, its warm, im happy... and at that moment where relaxation usually sets in and i COULD sleep, i instead wonder if i did a good job of checking the doors... and i get back up again.

Sounds like you would benefit from sertraline

Treats OCD and depression

If you really mean it, then yes, you could very well have OCD.
If you keep repeating meaningless and useless tasks either because you are anxious or cant relax etc etc and you cant quite make yourself stop, then chances are high you are suffering from OCD.

Sorry if you were unaware of that.

You say that like it's a new thing, as if you never learned that milk is bad for you, how to get a girlfriend, and most importantly to get in the van.

yeah, i know, it can really drive you insane, because theres very little you can do about it, its like no matter what you do, you just cant make it stop and the more annoyed and angry you get about it, the worse it gets, too.
