Hi.
I've noticed ever since I was a young kid (younger than I am now which is 14) I get these weird feelings.
Like let's say I have to drink water, but you know I'm tired don't feel like getting up so I don't. Then I get these strange feelings, not of thirst but sorta like I'm going to explode. I can't think straight I can't breathe properlly I don't know it's just weird!!!
Let's say Im laying in bed and I just have a thought, hmm move my foot, but im in a comfortable position where I don't want to move my foot. Just because I thought it I have to do it!!! Or else I don't feel right until I do.
Those are just 2 examples it happens for other stuff too.
Usually when I think something. I always try to fight this feeling BUT I always get defeated. It's either not thinking straight or just moving my damn foot!!
Does this happen to anyone else? Why does this happen? Nothing is wrong with me right? I am sick of this, it's annoying and just plain WEIRD!
Please help.
Just now I thought "Let me go to the bathroom" but I don't need to go, but now I can't do anything unless I go..... o.O

Here's my recommendation: When you want a drink of water, get up and get it. When you want to move your foot, do it. There are enough things in life you have to resist and show self control with, these things aren't them, there shouldn't be a challenge here or some self imposed 'test'.

Yes that's true, but sometimes I am not thirsty, sometimes I don't need to move my foot because it hurts, sometimes I don't need to go to the damn bathroom but I just have to walk in and out just so this feeling goes away.
This seriously makes me hate thinking of actions because then until I do the action all this happens!
:(
Anyone else got advice

Oh, It wasn't clear to me that you didn't actually need the bathroom, etc., when this happens. Then, the recommendation would be to ignore the thought, do not respond to it, and see what happens.
A lot of times, when you have the urge to do something not so much b/c you 'need' to, but b/c you 'have' to, in order to get rid of a feeling, the action gets reinforced, b/c it works, it gets rid of that terrible urge.
So, what you might want to do is not reinforce the feeling, don't do the action. Just ignore it, regardless of how uncomfortable it is. Eventually, it will go away (be extinguished) b/c it's not getting you anything.

Um im no DRSAM :P or anything. And im only 13 but it sounds like OCD? obsessive compulsive disorder? im not sure. But like people with OCD get thoughts and they have too do whatever the thought told them too do. Or else they dont feel "complete" and its like your brain telling you too go too the bathroom and you walk in then walk out and the thought goes away. But yeah just a thought im not sure. Im not doc, just spanky :P

OCD?!?!?!?
I can't have OCD right?!?!?!
I am going to take your advice IAMSAM. I will try to ignore it 100% I'll handle the uncomfortableness if it's a chance on making this go away!!
Anyone else think it's OCD????
I don't think I do...but then again no one wants to think they have anything wrong!

I have OCD and to be honest, this sounds like a very mild case of it. I may be wrong, I am not professional, but I wouldn't worry over it, or over focus on it, seriously, just go to a doctor and print what you said off and tell them.
