I am obsessed with even numbers, I always yawn as I think I cannot get enough air in to my lungs and I touch things like if i itch one arm I have to do it to my other arm. It only happens sometimes, also sometimes I get bad thought in my head like "I wish my fish was dead" I don't want to think it though! Does this sound like OCD and what do I do, my mum will think I'm being silly.

I was told by a therapist MRIs look diiffernt in a person wiht active OCD and that every time you stop yourself from continuiong with the obsession or compultion your brain chemicals actually change slowly back to normal. so as soon as you realize you are thinking "weird" stuff; contiously stop it.
