Do you have OCD?

[risque]

This is my OCD (I have more, but theres too many to list all in one go):

- Every time I enter the bathroom, I have to flush the chain, even if I haven't used the toilet.
- I'm a hoarder, I hoard carrier bags, deodorant cans, used pens/pencils and glass bottles.
- I organise everything by height, width, alphabetical order and colour.
- I have to continually touch everything with both hands, to ensure equality within my body.
- I eat/drink in fours (crisps, chips, take four sips from a drink before stopping).
- I check to see if my door, windows etc are closed at least 8 times before sleeping.
- I check to see if my computer is off, often having to physically turn it on and turn it off again just to make sure.
- I walk in accordance with patterns on the floor (in the fashion of the "L" the knight moves in chess).
- I avoid cracks on the floor.
- I organise my computer in folders which does not end, its just folders upon folders upon folders.
- Every time I close Internet Explorer, just before I delete my history and cookies, I also do this after.
- I cannot stand it when plugs are live, I often get the feeling of getting an electric shock when their on.
- I continually straighten books, DVDs, Cd's, chairs, boxes, pens, spoons, forks etc. to ensure they're in line.

My daily school routine:
1. My alarm goes off
2. I sit in my bed for exactly three minutes before getting up
3. I get up and walk downstairs (avoiding the top (13th) step) while touching every wall with both hands as I walk down
4. I open my bedroom door with one foot then the other while being 6 steps up from the bottom
5. I walk down to the kitchen, opening the living room door with both hands and touching the other side before it closes
6. I open the fridge, cupboard etc. with both hands before getting anything out of them
7. After my breakfast, I go up stairs to have a shower doing touch the door the same as before
8. In the shower, I wash my torso, then my arms, legs, back and eventually neck spending between 10-15 minutes, if I spend longer, I get stressed, then I flush the toilet before leaving
9. I get dried and dressed, Turn the TV go to my set favourite and search up 10 channels, then down 10 channels before return to my favourite.
11. I do my hair working from right to left, then front and back
12. I turn off the TV and the sky 3-4 times depending on the time (41-44 = 3 times, 45-55 = 4 times)
13. I go down stairs with my bag on my right shoulder, I do the same routine going downstairs as described earlier
14. I swap shoulders in between the second and ground floor
15. I sit down, turn the TV on, set the volume to 8 (default setting) and go up four settings while alternative hands
16. Every five minutes, I change which arm the remote is sitting on
17. When my friends come for me to go to school, I turn the TV off with my left hand, then I touch the button with my right hand twice, then my left hand again once (equalling 4 times touching it)
18. Leave via the front door, swapping the hand I opened the door with (left) to the other (right), then lift the handle up to set it up to lock (although I wont be locking it)
19. I close the gate with one hand and lock it with the other
20. I touch the lamp post near my house then go

It isn't as bad as it sounds, I get by most of the time, and don't notice when I do things. Also if I miss something, I try to hurry to the next obsession/compulsion before I loose control and have to do things over again.

I don't see how you can't describe that as bad, you need therapy or something.

I had extreme OCD but it's not that hard to conquer/overcome with the right help.

I don't suffer from OCD. But if im adjusting the volume on my TV it has to be an even number, or it bugs me. Thats about the closest thing to OCD I do.

I can see you being an OCD sort of person

in a packet of sweets i only allow myself the folowing numbers of sweets to save:

50
25
10
5
1

if there is a non round number i eat them until there is.

i wash my hands after touching doorhandles if i'm going to the fridge room to get food

i avoid cracks and glass floor

You haven't experienced a day of my life, so you wouldn't know, those are my obsessions and compulsions, I haven't stated their severity or duration or anything else for that matter other than what they are. My friends never even noticed I suffered from OCD till I started to sort out the library books in order of height just last year during the exam period.

I have it badly. I colour something in, there can't be the tiniest gap there, i draw a circle, it has to be complete. Someone picks somthing up then puts it down, it has to be back in the exact way it was or i just watch it for ages, i could go on.

i do
about silly things :rolleyes:

[buttons]

oh god yes,
in class, if i get like lead on me i have to wash it off and i've even started wearing gloves, i was diagonosed with it when i was 9 god sakes.

i don't use public toilets, i won't sleep somewhere someone else has been in, if i use my left hand for something i have to do it again with my right hand and for EXACTLY the right amount of time.

i have my shampoo and conditions and brightening serum all lined up and my make-up in exactly the way i want it and if anyone messes it up i go mental.

i'm not that bad anymore really, if i touch my food without a fork i won't eat it.

I dont have any, unless:
Can't use public toilet if some one else is there
Will only use a bath if im at home, I cant use any one elses bath :p (Im ok with showers though).

But my mum does which is really annoying
She has to check if a doors locked about 5 times.
So were going out shopping, I get in the car, she locks the door, but she has to pull the door like 5 times making sure its locked.

And im like "You going to break that door so that some one can break in ".
Then she has to do it again because I distracted her.

I'm clean, absolutely hate it when I accidentaly touch someones chewing gum. Have to wash my hands then. checking things multiple times isn't a problem with me.

I'm less like this now but I used to want to turn left if I turned right or other way round to be even. In dance when you had to do a turn I only went halfway and turned halfway back lol :rolleyes:

I thought every one does that, if they dont then its disgusting.

And I always like to have my stuff in the right places ecept for like random things that I dump anywhere I feel like.
