I think I may have OCD although this hasn't bedn confirmed by a doctor, a friend who has it told me that she thought I was showing signs of it so I took one of the online self diagnosis tests and it came back saying moderate OCD tendencies. I haven't felt right for a while but had put it down to having a baby and now a toddler to look after, I don't think it's depression as the test thing that the health visitor gives came back clear of postnatal depression. I don't have the compulsion side of things so much, at least not to the point of counting switches on and off or excessive hand washing etc but I am very much set in routines and can't deal with last minute changes to plans and also feel uncomfortable if something is wrong in the house, eg a window opened to the wrong amount of openness, I can't relax until I fix it. I definitely get the obesessive side of it, I am pretty anxious and get get up about small things and tend to dwell on things even from quite a while ago. If I was to go to the GP with the printout of the online test do you think he would take it seriously or be about it? I also get intrusive thoughts about bad things happening to DD, I can almost see it happening at times.
