Question:
Do i have ocd - i keep counting my fingers ...?
hi, im 22 and for as long as i can remember i keep counting things in sixes when im stressed
also i have to make sure the house is properly locked up at night and everything is swiched off - i was doing this about 6 times a night before i managed to get this under control and dont do it now
but if i touch something with my fingers or my toes i have to make sure that i touch each finger or toe 6 times
6 times because there is 6 sides on a square - why i think this i dont know
i do this to make sure my fingers or toes get wore away at the same time - i now this sounds crazy but i cant help doing it
Answers:
I do that too and I also add things up in my head and spell words out on my legs using my fingers. My Doc says I have slight traces of OCD. I take citalopram for it and it has helped loads. If it is bovering you go and see the Doc.
