Obsessive compulsive

I've kinda got a little streak in me, i think... when i was
younger i couldn't step on anything but the flower-patterns
on our carpet, it'd get a bit edgy if i didn't. Videos
always have to be lined up and neat, and it really pleases
me for some reason when i crush out a cigarette and it goes
straight down in on itself and doesn't bend. And also, i've
kept a record for nearly 3 years of every text message
between myself and someone i know.

Just how odd is this? Any of you do anything similar?

Yeah i had an book called "obsessive-compulsive disorders: a
practical guide" or something, and some of the case studies
in there were really scary. There's a form called
obsessive-slowness disorder where it can take like 3 hours
to tie laces or get out of bed in the right way or
whatever... it must totally consume people's lives.

dude. i have a little bit of that in me sometimes, not all
the time though.

I would have to check my pockets all the fucking time to see
if i had what I came to that place with, over and over and
over...

as well if I would have turned the stove off or not, id
check so many times sometimes, even...... once or twice i
drove back to my house from leaving it 10 mins before,
thinking..... that i didnt turn it off.

Yeah i do the last two, there or thereabouts... going back 3
or 4 times to see if i locked the front door. And i always
have to check exactly how much bus fare i'm gonna pay with
about a million times.

im like that too.

not sure how close it is to real obsessive compulsive as
there are a few cases on the side of the family that married
into my bloodline. its a proper mental illness + makes life
really hard.

deepspace9mm: yeah man.... for sure, I feel ya on that one,
the bus fare thing.. well i havent had to take the bus in
years cause I drive, but when i did take the bus all the
time I had to check all the time too, over and over, even
through id have my hand on my change in my pocket.... ar....
so many times, its weird stuff.

i do it with other things too, just cant think of what
exactly now.....

Don't be so quick to label yourselves with this. The things
you have described all seem quite minor and almost everyone
does them or similar. I mean, it's common to hear of people
going back to their house to check something they think they
have forgotten or whatever, but realise that they are just
being silly. It's natural.

Yeah, i know my stuff is really minor, i don't think it's
close to real OCD behaviour, but it does make life annoying
and it's hard to stop cause it makes me feel really edgy.

i dont know if this is obsessive compulsive but i cannot go
under tv sets which are hung from the celings. y'know like
the ones in dept stores or schools. i'm so afraid it'll just
come crashing down on me the moment i pass right under it. i
dont find this to be OCD just a defensive mechanism my body
has.

A friend of mine has something like that. He can't bring
himself to go near scaffolding or tall buildings cos he
thinks they're going to fall over onto him...

Nope, i also had it as a kid, but it sort of faded. I still
keep some things neat, but back in the days i sometimes felt
i had to open and close a door 3 times and stuff like that.

we are all compulsive.
wether its sex, food, abuse, talking, or whatever, i have it
in a way, i tend to never finish anything i just keep
bettering it...so kind of a perfectionist non-achiever

That's a phobia not OCD.

There's a guy who works here who washes his hands
obessively. I get tempted every now and then to rub my hands
in his face to watch him freak out.

If a see 2 drains together on the pavement I have to walk
over them both, and if I only step on one drain I say Toast

This all sounds crazy, but I swear it's true !

i have a wierd thing where i have to lock my doors in a
specific way before i go to sleep. i open the door, look
outside, then close it and lock it twice on the top and
bottom. i do it with my lamp too, i turn it off and on 3
times before turning it off.....and i always have to
seperate my m&ms or other candy when i eat them into color
quantities and then eat them to keep them in even numbers.

O_O
