Answer 1

this may not seem normal to other people but it is normal to you. All it is is OCD you have to be able to break out of it yourself no amount off doctors can do this for you. I will give you  a link to go to and see if it helps . you are just thinking of it. Try treating your self to sumthing that will tacke your mind off it then it might help. http://www.thesecret.tv.

Answer 2

sounds like you have OCD

Answer 3

What you describes seems to be obsessive controlling behavior (OCD)

Usually, people with OCD feel like they aren't in control of their lives and therefore overcompensate by over-controlling other things..I'm  no expert but , I think you should "google" OCD and see what they say...

You should also consider talking to a conselor or therapist about this behavior...

Talk to an expert before it gets worst and destroys your life. You can still change and get back the "normal" life from before that behavior appered.

Good luck 2 you;)

Answer 4

I would suggest you see a psychologist or other mental health professional who can help you receive a definite diagnosis. It could be obsessive-compulsive disorder. Behavior modification or other treatment may be in order. I am not an expert in such matters, but would strongly urge you to look into this with a qualified professional. Best wishes to you.

Answer 5

You need a dose of Doctor Dilly's self-help therapy.

Try this:  Stand up straight.  Now make a really tight fist with your right hand and with all your strength, smack yourself in the head. POW!!  Like that.  Now post again and tell us if you did the same with your left hand.

i used 2 do this,, but i forced myself 2 stop doing it. i hated it because i would do it in public places n people would be looking at me in a weird way. when you hit something with one arm next time just tell yourself not 2 do it again with the other arm or walk away from it and dont go back 2 it

Answer 8

ok, it seems you have an impulse disorder. this is serious buiness! the best thing to do is to tell your doctor. This disorder can be treated. But, will get worse over time if not treated and paid attention to carefully and correctly.

YOU NEED TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF.

Answer 9

It may well be OCD. There is a quiz for this, in section 1 (psychological tests) in ezy build, below. If it takes up more than an hour, daily, gets worse, or interferes with your life to any great degree; seek therapy, because it can quickly take over a person's life. See section 7, on OCD, at ezy build, below and also view section 6, since some consider to be an anxiety related disorder.                

                 Practice one of the relaxation methods on pages 2, 11, 2c, or 2i, daily, and when needed. Also, give the EFT a good tryout, to see if it helps you. There is also a version for use in public places, (if you like, you can claim to have a headache, as you massage/lightly tap your temples). "Even though I suffer from OCD, I deeply and completely accept myself."  Section 53, and pages 2, 2.q and 2.o at  http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris also refer.        

                          

    (The following is a variant of Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing therapy, which has been used successfully for those people suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, insomnia, and anxiety: it is easily learned, quick to use, yet can be very effective. It is easy to be dismissive of such a seemingly unusual technique, but give it a good tryout, for at least a few weeks, to see if it is effective in your case).

Prior to using either of the methods in the above paragraph, first sit comfortably, and take a deep breath. Then, without moving your head, move your eyes from the left, to the right, and back again, taking around a second to do so (say: "a thousand and one": this takes approximately a second).

Repeat this procedure (without the words, although you can count, subvocally, if you like) 20 times: "A thousand and one; a thousand and two... " and so on, to a thousand and twenty. Then close your eyes and relax. Become aware of any tension or discomfort you feel.                      

                 Then open your eyes, and take another deep breath, and repeat step one, closing your eyes, and relaxing afterwards, in the same manner. Then, repeat the procedure one last time. Some people may find that this is all they need do.   With experience, you may find that you can practise this in public, with your eyes closed, which greatly widens the window of opportunity for its use, and avoids attracting unwanted attention. I have found that the 2 - 3 minutes spent using the EMDR markedly reduces distractions to the relaxation process, and is repaid many times over.

I also use it prior to my chosen relaxation technique, after lights out, at night. For more about Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing therapy, showing recommendations by those who have used it, including a professional psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience in that field, see sections 33 - 34, at ezy-build. She was skeptical, at first, and I remained unconvinced, until trying it, and now I use it twice daily, including after lights out, at night.                

                   Because OCD is considered to be related to anxiety, try getting yourself some "worry beads", (ask at a religious supplies store, Catholic church, or Muslim mosque) and deliberately replace your former activity with moving them about between, or around your fingers: it takes about 30 - 40 reps, for most people to instill a new habit.

Answer 10

I am not in the right place to diagnose you but I think you may have OCD(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).

There isn't anything wrong with it (to me), I just think it can be a hinderance in your daily life.

And all I can say about the people that think your weird is this '**** them'. I understand you don't care but I get very annoyed by people saying others are weird, when the truth is, is that we are all weird.

Answer 11

Sounds like OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).  See your doctor.
