Ok so I this command I say to myself out loud when no one is around or I mouth it to myself when people are around every time I do something good. I usually say "done-finish-end-permanently" really fast. I think it's OCD because I do it almost alll day long. IIN?
Yeah, turn to the psychiatric experts of IIN...
It's not normal. But don't give yourself any kind of diagnosis, or accept those given to you by the local witch doctors. It may just be a quirk. It's not OCD until it interferes with your daily life, or causes you a great amount of stress.
I have OCD. I do many, many, MANY things and one is similar to you whispering commands to yourself. I'm not sure how to explain it other than I "make bets" with myself. One example would be if I'm walking down the stairs, I give myself a certain amount of time to make it to the bottom. Like, I have 10 seconds to get to the bottom while going down at a normal pace. If I do it in the allotted amount of time (not over or under) then everything will be okay.
I sometimes do that too. Sometimes I have to remind myself to focus on whatever I'm doing. I get distracted easily.
Personally I don't see the harm in this.
You're not hurting anyone. You're not even endangering yourself.
I noticed u mentioned 'when you are alone' hence if you don't do that when people are around you. Its seriousness is lowered drastically. However it might be good to share it with a gp or specialist. Do not share such information with your friends.
Lol when I life something I normally say 'liiiffft' to myself out loud, a few friends have pointed it out. Anyway, maybe you're perfectionist?
OCD or maybe Schizophrenia. Do you hear voices? Do they tell you to do things? Do you hallucinate? See things that maybe aren't really there? Do you wonder if it's real? Do you lose periods of time? Are you insecure? Do you have lots of friends or do you tend to keep to yourself? Do you work? If so what do you do? How old are you? Do you get depressed? Nervous, anxious?
