Recent OCD Habits

[GodsGirlManda]

Okay, so things at school have gotten stressful for me lately, with regards to my ED. Like, school officials have gotten involved, and situations have arisen that make it difficult to be comfortable with what I'm doing. I'm always afraid someone's going to find out.
Every time I'm anxious, I shake a lot, and I count things. I don't know if it should be classified as "OCD" or not, but I know that it gets in the way of things. I need to count or else I freak out more. And if I don't count right, then I have to go through grand rituals to correct it.
Does this sound like actual OCD or just anxiety-related habits? Or even something from my ED?

OCD is obsessive behaviours, and from what you've said it doesn't sound like you. Because you've got and ED I think that's where the anxiety is coming from and making you stress out even more, especially now that others are getting involved.

That sounds kinda like anxiety, but also kinda like a mix. I've got a little bit of anxiety/panick attacks, and I have to tapp my foot. I don't count, but I can't control anything during panick attacks, so maybe your better at coping than me?
huh..

i'm pretty much the same as you... the counting for me seems to arise when im hungry, and to stop myself from eating i count things and perform rituals. I'm classified as having OCD but i think the reason for that is because i cover up and keep my ED a scret...when my Dr's ask about my health and how i'm doing i tell them about the counting and rituals to deflect the attention away from my ED, the last thing i want is to be monitored and be forced to put on weight.

ahh i used to do that . I have a phobia of throwing up (which is a fail when it comes to purging) .. and i would get so scared about it that i would shake and shake and i stop myself i would scratch my nose and ears . Obviously people saw the scratches and eventually i had to pinch my thighs instead . I had huge bruises but the shaking wouldn't go away . It was horribleeeee !! .
Its not nearly as bad now-a-days, but i do still self harm sometimes . These things take a long time to get over . I hope your ok , i know how it feels .

Yes, recently I've had OCD habits return and they were gone for many years! It makes me so angry that this happened to me. I experienced a stressful event two years ago which triggered a relapse I think. It's not fair because I was fine and jealous people attacked me causing me to have OCD again.

I tend to touch and look at things repeatedly, I'll give special meanings to certain colours and numbers. I just want it to stop. It's gotten better since last year, but I've become nervous which upsets me greatly. This didn't need to happen. I'm a great person and I haven't made mistakes in my life but because OTHERS have made mistakes in theirs they want and wish me to have problems. True evil.

I hear ya, my anxiety is a huge burden on my shoulders, it feels like it's weighing me down when it's getting out of hand.

I accept with information: OCD is obsessive behaviours, and from what you've said it doesn't sound like you. Because you've got.
