说个我的强迫症状吧,呵呵,刚好也跟厕所有关。有次上了厕所,因为很专心在 想事情,没有冲就打开门要往外走,刚好一个同事经过,我忽然意识到了,赶紧 冲掉,当时被狠狠吓了一跳,觉得很没面子。结果接下来的时间就忽然开始有 obsession, 总是怀疑自己没有冲厕所,越是告诉自己要理性要克服我的compulsion, 越是总想着它。后来我跟自己make peace了,告诉自己其实多检查一下也不花费 我多少时间精力啊,就indulge myself好了。于是那阵子每次上完厕所几乎都会 再检查一次,有时是还在厕所内洗手池那时想起来要检查,有时甚至已经走回办公 室了,还是跑回去检查一下。就这样大概过了几周,现在已经好了。虽然其实每次 检查都会发现实际是冲掉的,但是并不表明这样的检查是不该做的,因为它可以ease 你的anxiety, which truely exists。告诉自己what i want to do makes sense and i can do it比狠狠告诉自己你不该这样做你不许这样做,往往效果要好得多。
actually i think the symptoms you described do appear to meet some criteria of ocd (obssesive compulsive disorder强迫症). there are different types of anxiety disorders(焦虑症) and ocd is one of them. among people with ocd, there are different types as well, including washers/ cleaners, checkers, repeaters, hoarders, thinking ritualizers, worriers, and pure obsessionals. what you described seems to be some symptoms of a worrier and pure obsessional. these are usually some internal dialogues. specifica
