what is your OCD?

[Go Away]

I press my fingernail into the palm-side of finger joints - and it's gotta be all or nothing.
I have to crack every knuckle crackable in my hands, then it's the neck, then lower back.
As a kid I used to eat stuff until I was super thirsty and then buck my drink.
Clearing the phone icons is definitely something I do and didn't realize until this thread.
I can't let a push notification go unnoticed.

The toilet paper needs to come over the top of the roll, not underneath, drives me nuts! Like Archie Bunker!

I really had to think about this because everything I do seems normal to me. But one of my co workers said I'm ocd about my desk and how everything is positioned on it. The stapler, phone, note pad, pen holder, key board, everything has its place and must always be there. The rest of the desk has shit slung everywhere but those items must be in place.

^^^ I got this one too.

I'm also OCD about putting stuff away in the kitchen when I am preparing food. If I make a sammich everything is put back before I start eating it. If I am having coffee the cream goes back in the fridge before I have my first sip, even if I know I am having another cup. Mrs Flex leaves everything out on the counter until she feels like cleaning up later on and it drives me nuts.

Things have to be straight. If a rug gets kicked over, or crooked or something I have to fix it, even in public places.

I can't leave anything unfinished either. I have to complete it if I start.

 

[Realize]

I'm pretty much like hoodlum, except I dont have to take my pants off to take a shit.

Oh and I dont use a wallet but all my bills are facing the same way with small bills on top, nobody needs to know how much money I'm carrying.

When people hand me cash I organize it in front of them to hopefully teach them a lesson.

I just like things to be clean, organized, and make sense...? :IDK:

[h=2]What is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?[/h]Everyone double checks things sometimes. For example, you might double check to make sure the stove or iron is turned off before leaving the house. But people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) feel the need to check things repeatedly, or have certain thoughts or perform routines and rituals over and over. The thoughts and rituals associated with OCD cause distress and get in the way of daily life.
The frequent upsetting thoughts are called obsessions. To try to control them, a person will feel an overwhelming urge to repeat certain rituals or behaviors called compulsions. People with OCD can't control these obsessions and compulsions. Most of the time, the rituals end up controlling them.
For example, if people are obsessed with germs or dirt, they may develop a compulsion to wash their hands over and over again. If they develop an obsession with intruders, they may lock and relock their doors many times before going to bed. Being afraid of social embarrassment may prompt people with OCD to comb their hair compulsively in front of a mirror-sometimes they get “caught” in the mirror and can’t move away from it. Performing such rituals is not pleasurable. At best, it produces temporary relief from the anxiety created by obsessive thoughts.
Other common rituals are a need to repeatedly check things, touch things (especially in a particular sequence), or count things. Some common obsessions include having frequent thoughts of violence and harming loved ones, persistently thinking about performing sexual acts the person dislikes, or having thoughts that are prohibited by religious beliefs. People with OCD may also be preoccupied with order and symmetry, have difficulty throwing things out (so they accumulate), or hoard unneeded items.
Healthy people also have rituals, such as checking to see if the stove is off several times before leaving the house. The difference is that people with OCD perform their rituals even though doing so interferes with daily life and they find the repetition distressing. Although most adults with OCD recognize that what they are doing is senseless, some adults and most children may not realize that their behavior is out of the ordinary.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), formerly considered a type of anxietydisorder, is now regarded as a unique condition. It is a potentially disabling illness that traps people in endless cycles of repetitive thoughts and behaviors. People with OCD are plagued by recurring and distressing thoughts, fears, or images (obsessions) they cannot control. The anxiety (nervousness) produced by these thoughts leads to an urgent need to perform certain rituals or routines (compulsions). The compulsive rituals are performed in an attempt to prevent the obsessive thoughts or make them go away.
Although the ritual may temporarily alleviate anxiety, the person must perform the ritual again when the obsessive thoughts return. This OCD cycle can progress to the point of taking up hours of the person's day and significantly interfering with normal activities. People with OCD may be aware that their obsessions and compulsions are senseless or unrealistic, but they cannot stop them.

Oh what a fun thread. Thankfully I'm not as fukked up as that aussie hoodlum! Just kidding big fella.

If you don't check your locks, make sure your car is locked, the dog has water before you leave, you're just lazy.....so I'll leave this to the quirky stuff.

For me, I don't wipe my ass with paper and I carry wipes with me wherever I go....I also keep a roll of toilet paper in my car trunk "just in case" I run out of wipes or if a girl needs something at a beach or a woods party.

I apply deodorant left side first 8 swipes, the right side 9 swipes.

I've used the same hair product for 13 years.

I will not lick a girl's pussy the same way twice, always a variation to create proper build up.

I won't watch porn on my phone without wifi.

I don't allow my fuel tank to go below 50 miles til empty.

I have the exact same setup to how I approach a ball when I golf.

I set 5 alarms in the morning even though I'm awake after the second one.

I have to have a fan on my face when sleeping even if it's -10 degrees below zero.

 

[Stumpy]

I CANNOT touch oil/grease from food. I'll happily spend all day covered in oil/grease as long as it's industrial but cannot stomach food oil/grease or cold food on my skin.....can't even empty a plate of leftover food if it touches my skin.

 

[TenaciousA]

I hate odd numbers. Everywhere. I can't buy things at singles, I have to buy them as pairs. I don't like when the temperature is set on 73, it has to be on 74. If I get change that's an odd number I freak out. I can't leave a tip in an odd number. Apparently that doesn't apply to the weights?

Shit like that.

I also freak out if my skin gets wet and I'm not washing my hands, taking a shower, or at the gym.

Like you, IronSoul, if I start cleaning one thing I'm ****ed – everything else is getting cleaned as well.

I used to have to organize my closet by color – this is her traveling five years ago that's kind of come to an end.

I also used to refuse to eat until I did some type of cardio; I dated a bodybuilder and we used to go for runs first thing in the morning and then almost daily before dinner. That has obviously come to an end. I also used to refuse to eat anything unless I knew the macros.

Bitches be crazy.
