Hi everyone. I'm new here. I think i have ocd. It's now 4 years when random thought about blinking eye occured. First i checked, recorded how my eyes moving when blinking, i thought it looks stupid and i will be embarressed when someone see it. Then i thought that by exposuring this conscious blinking to my family members i can infect them. So i started to avoid eye contact with all people. Specifically i'm afraid of blinking eyes when someone see me, or even making fun of me because of it , that moment my mind locks on my dumb thoughts. Sometimes symptoms fades away, but just for a short time. I'm a medical student and it really distracts me on my lectures, or being with friends. I lost many of my friends just because of it. Sometimes when i get stressed i get loud stomach spasms, or starting to sweat in my armpits excesively. I get high blood pressure when i'm stressing.
And by the way before blinking obsession i was concentrating of how my tongue moves when i speak, or my mouth position. These obsessions sometimes occur now and last year i was locked on tongue obsession. And when i did - the blinking obsession went away, but when i finnished obsessing about it i returned to this much more stressing obsessions. Can you give me advices if i need to tell my parents about it ( i'm afraid that i will infect them)?
