I think its one of those people who are
totally obsessive over things, and the
only way most likely to fix it see a doc
and get on meds. Thats my guess, im not
sure though why?

its a mental thing, like with me if I
think something..
Ex. I think that I have to unlock my door
and relock it 3 times before I can walk
away or else something bad will happen.
It gets to the point where the details of
the "bad things" are soooo vivid that I
can't ignore it because I feel guilty.

That is a good link! Thanks meg! I was
asking cause I think jesse has it.
Sometimes its worst that others but some
of the things he does (and im not joking)
he takes showers for an hour because he
thinks he is dirty and he will ask me to
wash his back for him and if I do it he
will be like wash the middle again, go a
little lower go to the left ect. He
thinks he can feel dirt on him. He will
check the doors to make sure they are
locked and we have been late for work
cause he cant walk away from the door for
so long. He smells his hands and washs
them all day long. He pulls his sweater
off and on like 3-4 times in a row before
he leaves it on. He zip his pants up and
down 3-4 times before he leaves them
zipped. He picks his glass up and sets
it down without taking a drink until I
tell him to stop! My mom said its this
ocd. Its sounds like it from the link you
gave me meg. What do you think?

It definteley sounds like jesse has it
jill-he has real fixed patterns of
behaviour by the sounds of it but ocd is
treatable.

It doesnt sound like he has it too bad
tho.. There was this girl who had it that
I went to school with and she would pull a
hair out of her head and munch on it(yea
it sounds pretty gross) and she would just
keep on doing it... She had bald spots on
her head and the school would let her wear
a hat to stop her from doing it during
school so she wouldnt distract people...
But the hat didnt help much. Her head
looked nasty.

Sounds like he has it... But if he can
"feel" the dirt on him too.. That could
also be body dismorphic disorder....
Which leads him to the ocd... He "feels"
the dirt... In turn he excessively
washes... But the other things sound like
ocd...
