Obsessive or Compulsive blinking?

When I was about five I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I had been obsessively washing my hands to the point that they cracked and bled constantly. The pain didn't bother me as long as I was clean of germs. I was also deathly afraid of becoming sick.
Recently I've been diagnosed with Depression, Anxiety/Panic Disorder, and Social Anxiety Disorder.
I'm 16 now and I haven't really noticed a lot of big OCD quirks in years, except sometimes I'll get a sudden panic attack if I notice my room is a mess or my shelf is messy. I also am an obsessive hygienic and always have to take a shower before I go anywhere. I am overly conscious of how I smell, and I'm overly conscious of how my breath smells.

Anyway when I was little, I don't know the age but maybe somewhere around 8, I started paying extra attention to my blinking. My siblings made fun of me and called it the "Squint Blink" or "Squint Blinking" because I would blink really hard to where my eyebrows went down and my eyelids squished together. It became pretty much automatic and I found it nearly impossible to quit. I was eventually able to stop, but then it developed again when I was around 10 or 11. Maybe 12. And I was eventually able to stop myself again, though it was extremely difficult.
The thing is, though I was able to stop, sometimes I will start thinking about it -like right now- and I get the overwhelming urge to do it again. It's SO hard to keep myself from doing it. I get this feeling in my eyes like I really need to. That urge can go on for hours or even days.
Up until now I thought I was the only one who had that problem, but I started researching and discovered other people have that problem too.
My question is, does it have to do with OCD or one of my other problems, or could it be a Blinking Tic or something??



Answer
I have been diagnosed with depression and OCD, and have struggled with social anxiety. I used to have the repetitive behaviors referred to as "tics", so I feel my input may be of some value:

I believe that any disturbances within any person, no matter what the origin or manifestation (physical, emotional), MUST come out in some shape or form, sort of like certain laws of nature. Just as a pool of water will always ripple when a pebble is cast in, so will a person ripple when something is not right.

I think its very possible that your facial "tics", the blinking of the eyes, is a way for you to release "tension" of some kind, and by tension, I mean any kind of disturbance, although one that I think is more psychological in origin. I would also submit that its possible that your other compulsive behaviors, the excessive attention to hygeine and preoccupation with the order of your home, are along the same vein.

Another possibility is that these compulsive behaviors offer a distraction from something(s) you would rather not deal with.

Every human being encounters all kinds of stress in their lives (unless one is unable to experience stress; there are purported cases). What matters is how we are able to handle that stress. Will we be able to take what comes in stride and push onward, or will we shatter like a vase dropped from a table?

We all have different manifestations of coping behavior. Its possible that your facial tics and other obsessive compulsive behavior is your coping skill, albiet a difficult one.

As far as psychiatric jargon goes, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is defined by disturbing, intrusive thoughts and repetitive compulsive behaviors ultimately resulting from these thoughts. Do you experience intrusive thoughts, thoughts that may "pop" into your head seemingly out of nowhere? If so, are these thoughts difficult to get rid of, even if they make little sense?

WHY CANT I DO THIS?????

Q. I use to play pool and other games on Yahoo all the time and I could chat while doing it but then I stopped playing for a couple of months and when I wanted to play the other day so I did and I wanted to chat with someone and now it wont let me..? It says "Chat is only allowed for our most trusted players. As you continue to play on Yahoo you will be granted access to chat. In the meanwhile you will be restricted to listen-only mode. like does anyone know that is?? has anyone else got that message
People can still type to me and I can still play the game normally. I can type in it all I want but when I press send that message will pop up.


Answer
Apparently, there's been a lot of boorish behavior in the chat rooms. So much so, that Yahoo's decided not give every one automatic permission to chat.

Instead, you will need to send messages until they (Yahoo) decides you're not a threat to the safety and cohesiveness of the chat rooms.

So don't bully, threaten or belittle people in your messages. Also, keep your language clean and you'll be allowed to chat soon enough.

(Edit) After looking into this further, I now realize that all that message is, is telling you to verify your address. So click it and there will be an e mail sent to your Yahoo address that verifies it's actually your true address.

When you recieve it, just click on the link back to Yahoo and you'll be able to chat once again.

By the way, this entire process shouldn't take a full minute to complete as the e mails are sent immediately, usually.
