What are some of your ocd rituals?!


Question: What are some of your ocd rituals!?
Answers:
I constantly wash my hands after I touch random objects in restaurants!. It makes me hands feel grimy, but no matter how many times I wash them the feeling doesn't go away for hours!. When listen to the radio in my car, the volume HAS to be at an EVEN number- same goes with TV and everything else with numbered volume!. I also have this strange ritual where I have to share a two pack of Reese's with someone every single weekday!. I have to open the pack the same way, hand a Reese's to the person in a certain way, eat it a certain way, and make sure I I throw away the pack without it getting crushed or anything!. I freak out if anything in my day is out of order as well!. A friend of mine that I go to lunch with everyday didn't go to school, and it ruined my whole day!. I wasn't used to walking to lunch by myself, so I just didn't go at all because I feel as if I go to lunch without here, it will change the course of everything for the rest of the day!. I freak out over small things!. I can't wear my watch on my left arm, ever!. I count how many steps I take on tiled floors, and if I have a drink with ice in it!.!. I have to have exactly 6 pieces of ice!.
I have more, but I'll stop there!. I know, it's strange!.!.!. but I'm being completely serious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I constantly touch things, flip lightswitches over and over until it feels 'right', check locks, count things, sound out words i already know over and over again until I can continue my thoughts, tapping, retracing my steps- even if im not looking for anything!. I found that prozac helped- I used to have racing thoughts and my OCD would get to the point of unbearable!. I used to cry all the time because I knew I was different and felt "crazy"!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If I hit somethin' (or if someone hits somethin') or hurts in it in anyway, I have to touch it and say "Sorry, Thankies!."

I have to touch all main parts of the computer (monitor, keyboard, mouse, ect!.) and the desk and chair and say "Sorry, Thankies!."


In school hallways;
-point both of my hands towards every drain I pass by!.

-I chew food evenly on each side of my mouth
-I have to take a step evenly on each foot
-My pets have to be perfectly taken care of (clean cages, water bowls filled etc!.!.!.)
-Constant worrying about my pets, I'm very attached to my dog especially
-Have to follow my exercise schedule or any other schedule properly or it throws off my whole day and I feel like I have to recheck things and like I'm missing something
-I love lists

Sometimes I get these thoughts but they seem to come and go:
-Have to touch everything that I say I will touch in my brain
-Everything has to be in its spot
-If something is on one hand it has to be on the other or it feels uneven
