Hi all!
Ok, i am really fighting now pals, but i have this new symptom too sheesh… it can be quite severe… i check some things from eventual problem with them, thats how it is… I discovered, that the ocd is an anxiety disorder yeah… ok, i am not too scared by it, but it can get painful too… 
do you have an ocd too? How do you live it pals? 
In fact i didnt know that about me, but my current pdoc said even before my ocd, that i am an obsessive type of sz… but i was oppressing all my symptoms deep in me, i was soo closed too, that i wasnt even talking or acting much… so maybe now this ocd comes on the surface, as i am progressing a bit, what do you think?
One of my best ill friends told me, that she had ocd as kid even, but it ended up by disappearing in fact 
so maybe its not a big deal lol…
Around all my multiple symptoms, i wonder if they’ll be always a bit seen outside, around other people… I still am paranoid just about being a sz, but i try to let go, accept and jusy be happier…
Is the ocd common for a sz? Sheesh… one new thing for me yeah, its strange to me tbh heh… it happens now, that i discover some more life for me, so its strange yeah…
I think it’s related to SZ since its one of those major mental illnessesike depression psychosis etc. I feel like there’s a lot of overlap
But isnt it just a bit too much? My sz and an ocd now? Hmm…
Yeap, it disappeared for my friend, so theres hope. But yeap, i feel a bit crazy when checking things like that 
My brother in law has an ocd. I didnt expect, that I’ll turn with that too…
Hnm I see …why not ask a shrink 
My shrinks did all that they could… i work on my sz as i can now and i am progressing… I have 20 different states in one day, i cant take meds for all of them…
I avoid complaining now too… But my problem was for decades, that i was seeing myself as totally unworthy, not even a human because i am ill, with a total despair about my future… not any single med didnt take away my symptoms… i take the zyprexa still though but one pdoc told me, that it can take me years to recover… i was ill probably since kid, that’s why it was so tough here…
Ok, i saw one old ocd post here, apparently its common for sz, isnt it?
Ive had ocd since i was 7
What meds do you take for it?
I dont take any for it. I think you can take fluvoxamine though
So your Dr diagnosed you with OCD?
Thanks to checking ocd i wear out all handles, knobs, basically anythingn you lock or unlock or turn on or off lol always in 3s up to 30 times an object
Sometimes it drives me nuts
Are you sure its not the sz? I always get ocd like symptoms off meds.
I doubt it ive been doing it since i was 7. Sz or bipolar starts later in life usually
Did it happen on meds too?
Yeah it made no difference.
I find i do it more if im stressed or i have a special outing to go to.
Yes i was told i have ocd
Also my therapist said i should use an ocd workbook.
Thats when I learned about what harm ocd is.
Ocd can also overlap in other disorders.
Like ruminations are in anxiety, depression and other mood related stuff
I have ocd and it’s gotten better… Some I’ve had since I was little though… I count to 7 I use to check the door was locked by moving the handle 3times until it felt okay, it was a big thing… My mom would try and get me to stop… Didn’t always work
I hope you’re doing better now depression sucks. I also suffer from depression. I think it is somthing not uncommon for people with SZ to have ocd like symptoms…idk…just an opinion.
