Hello,

I'm a guy, 21 years old and an university student.

I have OCD, but I feel like this disorder doesn't answer all my question. I feel like my OCD behaviour is just a reaction to something else, something bigger.

A while ago I read an article that hypersensitive kids may develop OCD as adults(as a way to cope) if they are put in an environment that's too stressfull for them. And this sounds exactly as my situation.

*When I was younger I cried for the smallest stuff, I remember that even my teacher was annoyed by it. Like everytime someone said something that could be interpretated as somehow negative, I started crying.

*I can't stand movies that are to violent. Last week we were watching a movie with my nephews and they are like 11. I couldn't watch it, it was too much violence for me. I know it's stupid that 11 year olds can watch stuff that doesn't bother them at all but I can't.

*I'm always the only one to get car sick/motion sick. A while ago we went to an amusement park, couldn't do do anything that went updside down as I already get sick in the car...

*I have lots of food sensitivities.

*When I'm in group I'm also the one who hears stuff that others don't hear. I don't imagine it ,the sound it there but I hear it and others don't.

*I have anxiety issues like I said.

*I'm more touched/moved by the music I listen to and the movies I watch. (that may also explain why I can't watch some movies, because it feels like I feel what they feel)

*I can't focus when I'm in class or when I'm studying. And when I study I have always to listen to music or it's almost impossible for me to study.

*It's like my mind needs to be occupied all day and I don't know why. I don't even like it but I'm on the computer all day when I'm not at school or with friends. Also when I'm outside I need to have my ipod.

*I hate when people touch me especially that light thought it drives me crazy. It's like I can still feel the touch even when they stopped touching me. (On the other side I cdon't have problems touching people)

*I'm also like the only one to get nauseated by certain smells. It doesn't bother anybody else.

*My energy level is really low except when I'm running,playing soccer, swimming or other sports. But when I'm doing something like laundry or dishes I get really tired after 2 min. I can literally bike 100km or run 20 km but some stupid stuff makes me tired like crap.(???)

*I like to be around people and have fun but after a while I need to be alone like I feel it's becoming too much. (Edit: I thought about this one and it's not always the case, this is probably caused by the fact that I have to think to much around certain people so not really an SPD thing but probably anxiety related)

*I procrastinate everything even if my life depends on it.And when after trying starting something for the 3541654th time I can't finish it even if my life depends on it.

*I can't stand certain sounds like people eating, people breathing loudly or babies crying, it drives me nuts!!!

Does this sound like SPD? Or maybe something else?
