I admit i do. Its like i have this fear of getting accused of something which i didnt do but that image just appears in my mind. For example, walking past someone on the street and the image of me beating the crap out of the person appears in my mind when in reality, I did not do it. And i will keep looking back and looking back to check if the person is alright or so. Is there anyway to get rid of these thoughts??

In reality, i'm a law abiding person but just that in my mind, it makes me think i'm not.

Cognitive behavioral therapy.
If it's really bad that's pretty much the only way to get rid of these 'disorders'. Personally, i think that if it doesn't hold you back in life you should just learn to live with it and/or work around it.

but what you have doens;t sound too bad unless you're really frightened 24/7

Don't just ask on the internet for advice. Seek professional help, ie. see a psychologist.

Source: I work in mental health.

edit: if you're not happy with the psychologist, get a second opinion. Some of the people I work with have said that it can take a bit of time to find a good psychologist, but when they do it's incredibly beneficial.

Yeah it doesnt frighten me 24/7. Just that at times it just scares me and i keep going back to check and check to see if its alright if you understand. In actual fact, those thoughts make me frightened of the law too.

I'd recommend doing some reading online to get a better idea of what the disorder is about and coping/management strategies people use, it may help. From what you're saying it is impacting on your life somewhat and early intervention can really help some people. I urge you to seek some professional advice/help.

Everyone has it a little bit. Those who are actually diagnosed with it have it 9001% worse though.

I have an OCD with pegs. My peg basket has all differnt kind of pegs in it, wooden, pink plastic, blue plastic and a differnt type of blue plastic peg. When I hang my washing out these pegs have to match per item of clothing on the line.

Its the only OCD or even hint of one I have.

When I was around 6,7,8 I had weird obsessive behaviors. I would sing nursery songs in my head over and over until I was able to perfectly sync the lyrics with my breath. And I would touch certain objects over and over. It would drive me to utter frustration. Then I just grew out of it. I had to sort of train myself to ignore those obsessive urges. And eventually they stopped.

I remember a thread around here about this, where members here said they'd raise/lower the volume on their tv's in increments of 5. I'm not OCD, but more of a manic(sans depression)/ADD. I blame violent video games and music with obscene lyrics. Oh, and the voices.... All those voices.

when I was young I used to have to touch my thumb to each finger on both my hands at the same time.

I have this sort of weird pattern following when i was young. I would always make my left feet touch the floor first when i walk up or down steps. If my right leg touched first, i would feel awkward.

I have a ton of OCDs.
I'm a neat freak, I do the volume in increments of 5 on the tv as well (its gotten less though now that i barely watch tv) and the worst is that i hate having dinner at someone else's. I don;t hate it personally, but i hate it because for some reason it makes my stomach just cramps up and I feel sick and completely lose my appetite. it often subsides after a while, but by that time, everyone's already done eating.

e: nothing to it is a mistery to me. Self-diagnosed it as possible (situational) GAD and I know what most likely caused it. Dont feel like getting help for it though. I dont like shrinks
