Please share your OCD stories with me.?!


Question: For my psychology class I need to make a compilation of different experiences dealing with a disorder of my choice (obsessive compulsive disorder). I know a few people that suffer from this, but it is not enough. If you could please share your stories or experiences with me (they don't have to be long or extremely detailed). Even what your rituals/impulses are would work. Thank you and I appreciate it!

I have had mild OCD since i was a small child, it was brought on by family stress and difficult circumstances. when i was about 3/4 it involved walking around puddles and drains and feeling the need to keep walking round and round as my mum carried on walking ahead. Now it involves anything from touching things a certain number of times to having even numbers of things and also to even look at something so many times. when i put make-up on i have to put the same number of strokes of mascara and eyeshadow etc on each eye.

Lol, well.
Sometime i get really bad headaches if I say itch one arm, but don't itch the other arm in the same spot! It makes me feel slightly unbalanced. So I have to itch both sides!
Unless its something like my nose that I only have one of :p

I don't know if thats OCD or pure craziness. :p

if im listening to the radio or watching tv, i always have to have the volume on a even number, i cant stand it being on a odd number
:D
weird huh?

After I do dishes, wash my hands, shower, etc....I need to stand there and watch the water/bubbles go down. Its not really exciting but i just cant help it.

Well sometimes people with OCD have a fear tht something bad is going to happen to their family. I have OCD so everynight i HAVE to say good night to myfamily just to make sure my last words were good. The other thing I do is when I hear a swear word, or someone using bad words, I have to out my index and middle finger to my thumb on each hand and look at or imagine a picture of Jesus. I have a cross in my room and everynight that HAS to be the last thing I look at so I look at that and close my eyes. Hope that helps. Good luck with your class.

well when working in groups and many copies of the same thing are being printed out, i must have the second or sixth copy. idk y. i must kiss people in threes and when i sleep the unopenable side of the pillow must face the same direction as i am facing.
