The OCD Soapbox
JoeMoron2000:
I was thinking about this last night after I went to bed. One of my cats stepped on my leg to sleep on my bed (and it turns out, between my knees...wow), and I could feel the same place in my other leg just begging to be stepped on. It was very...disturbing...

This is a great topic to make my first post in! I really like Hanners, I relate to her because I have mild OCD, and her symptoms are amusing to me because they're real enough to be believable but just exaggerated enough to still be funny. Bravo, Jeph!
Anyway, my little ticks are that if I touch something with one hand, I have to touch it with the other hand because I can put it down or walk away from it. I constantly look at the clock in an attempt to make small math problems out of the numbers by adding signs, parentheses, negatives, or other things like. I'm even making a list. And lastly I can't walk on uneven planes (like slopes, or up/down hills, etc) without getting dizzy and wanting to sit down.

I am not sure if I am OCD, and I think a lot of people label themselves as such just because it's "cool". Nevertheless, each night before I go to bed, all cupboards and drawers must be shut to their tightest capacity. I can't sleep if I have not touched each cupboard or drawer. I also must check my lock before and after I turn out my light at night.
...now that I type it out it really just seems like a routing to me.

I've got the same thing as Darcy/Joe who posted here. Everything's got to be even. If I crack my knuckles twice on one hand, has to be the same on the other hand. If I step twice, once with my right and once with my left foot, on a block of cement, I have to do it on the next one exactly the same way. Then it changes from the cement to something else and I get thrown off.
It's become less pronounced recently, or maybe I've just stopped noticing it and it's become normal to me, and to everyone else I look ridiculous doing the piano-tapping thing with my hands.

Back when I used to play Yugioh, I used to play with those little duel mat things, and I always used to try and get the cards to line up perfectly with the outlines :lol:
