Hello Has anyone ever had ocd with poor insight. I think one of the symptoms is not thinking your obsessions are irrational. Chris

Hello know I would not say I,m a perfectionist no. Posssibly in the past I have shown sighns but I don't think I am. Chris

Hello In all honesty if other people don't make the same mistake twice I don't care that much. I meen if I,m trying as hard as them then that just meens maybe they are abit better' it's nothing to feel bad about. But do other people make the same mistake twice' do you make the same mistake twice? Chris

Hello As I said I,m not to sure whether this is ocd or not. It is not taking up a great deal of my time but since I do worry about other things so perhaps it is a kind of on the side obsesion I don't know. I do think think that I need to get a grip and start moving forward. So maybe it is partly because of that. But to say knowone else makes the same mistake twice seems silly. Thats one of the reasons why I,m wondering if it is ocd because I seem to have a pretty good idea that it is not right but I,m still worrying about it. Sometimes its hard to figure things out. e.g. If I did not know something which my old boss thought I should he would look at me in this horrible way(like I,m stupid) Now when I went to asda the other day I relized there was a stop line hat I did not relize was there at first. I thought of my old boss and I imagined him saying something like didn't you notice that. Now he would be right' you need to notice these things when you are driving but what I think he should say is Chris you really need to notice these things otherwise it's dangerous for you to be driving. So I,ve worked out its not always wha people are saying its the way they say it that get me annoyed. Chris

Hello I,m Chris Alhough it has me up as a new user I have actually posted on here before as a new user but could not remember my password and instead asnd instead of going through and trying to recover it I decided to just become a new member. Anyway a few months ago I worked for this man doing bricklaying who was not pirticularly always pleasent to work for. Now once I made the same mistake twice. I can't remember exactly what it was. I said to him I expect other people make the same mistake twice. He said(in quite a nasty way) WHO?? I could not think of anyone at the time. Now I don't work for him now' but there have been a few things which he said which have stuck in my head. But that one more than most I think. Now when I think about it I don't think that is true. Sports men make the same mistake more than once don't they. I heard an arsenal fan say adebeyor plays the ball to powerful or not powerful enough. But when I thought about that I started to think footballers have to make quich decisions maybe if people had more time to think about it they would not make the same mistake twice. Then I thought about golfers and darts players ect they shorley make the same mistake twice otherwise they would always get the ball where they want it. Now i'm starting to think about that' so basically it appears as if it is turning into a bit of a mild obession without compulsions. Or at least strong compulsions I have asked for reasurence sometimes but it is not a strong compulsion. When I think about it he os saying that knowone else makes the same mistake twice except for me' that does sound silly in my head also I have seen at least one other person make the same mistake twice. But then I started to think to myself well he might say that only certain kinds of people make the same mistake twice. So basically do you think this might be to do with my ocd' or do you think it might just be anxiety? I do think I have started to think lately that I have to get a grip so maybe it is partly to do with that and it is being made worse by ocd. Thankyou Chris
