This is my first post, so take it easy on me. 

I was diagnosed with PTSD back in 2010. They gave me medicine and stuff, and help me out. Now, lately my life is getting worse. I do hours of organizing, such as; organizing stuff (it just could be the labels on the cleaning supplies is facing outward), I get p****d off or anxiety when stuff is not right. For instance, I was at my mom house and everybody were opening presents and put all their wrapping paper on the floor, I got anxiety and just sat there, get ready leave but I don't want anybody know about my problem. It like a burden on me and can't take it anymore. I started to go to the gym, and it take me like hour just to leave because I am to busy cleaning up the house or rearranging the house. Another problem I might have i social anxiety. I hate when people touch me. I let my parents touch me but deep inside it gives me anxiety. 

I know you guys aren't professional or something, but I need advice. I just telling part of my problem, I think I said enough. I going back to the dr tomorrow. I just want somebody else opinion. 

Thanks a lot for taking time out of you day and reading this. One little problem is that I hate taking medicine.

    It's feasible you have both, which doesn't sound great. The only way to diagnose it is by seeing someone. I'll double check it if I was you, I am no expert!!!

    You need to discuss this problem with your GP, it is not PTSD.

    It can be treated although you need a diagnosis and only your GP can do that.

    Make a list of your actions and what you are doing, make a double appointment and your GP will be able to help and arrange some treatment for this compulsive disorder
