Q: Obsessive behavior & thoughts ?

I brush my teeth five to ten times a day, I get hyper and excited easily when I talk to people, i crave attention and when I don't get it I get pissed and start shaking. At night some times instead of falling asleep I just lay in my bed sweating and staring at the ceiling until sun rise. Is that good?

Well, the first part sounds like OCD ( obsesive compulsive behavioral disorder), the rest sounds to me like you are pretty insecure with yourself.
Maybe with a little anxiety added.

Hi Giventofly, It sounds like you might have adrenal stress. Do you have any food cravings? Drink a lot of coffee or eat a lot of chocolate, anything like that?

I try to never have any caffeine, and I hate every thing sweet. As far as food cravings go.. not really.

Sweating at night and insomnia suggest a hormone imbalance.
If your symptoms are specific and really bothering you, you might find a homeopathic remedy that will help. Find a homeopathy website if you're interested and have the time to search through the symptoms and matching remedies.
I've used homeopathy for my son. It works, if you've got the right remedy. And it's cheap!

I have obsessive compulsive disorder. But I think mine is mild I don't have compulsive washing of hands or stuff like that. I am obsessed with my hobbies (teaching people about credit repair) and will watch tv all day. I will get hooked on say poker games, so I look for all the times that poker will come on tv on the various channels so I can watch it all day.

I have an issue with the bathroom, and for some reason I don't want to take a shower, I am trying to get over that though.
