Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

My name is Aja, I'm 20 and ever since high school my friends and I would joke that I had OCD. I've always had a problem with germs, i'd have to have things in an exact order in my room and around me, and would get upset easily if either of these were disturbed.

The first time I realized that I actually probably did have OCD, was in my senior year when I used to get these ideas that my mom or brother were coming into my room while I was at school and were touching things. I have a problem with touching. So every day when I came home I'd go into my room and recheck and re-clean everything in it. And because I have a fear that I'll hurt myself on something to be extra sure that I was accustom to anything that was moved I would tap my finger on everything too.

I also think that maybe because of the OCD that I have a little bit of a hard time making and keeping friends. I get really nervous in social situations now and I can be really picky over who I want to make a friend. But I'm trying to work on that... since I'm down to only one friend. And she doesn't even live in the same state as me anymore.
