I get you man. I'm not quite as severe, but i get you. mine kinda goes off and on depending on my mood.

Some people need to do things repeatedly to get it.. 'right'. I was like that 3 years ago, but when I went to the loo. >_< I'd go, and I'm not exaggerating, about 6 times each night before bed, and I only ever fell asleep because I was too tired to get back up again.

damn, sorry to hear that dude. : | good luck with whatever you're doing to help with it!

hey thannks, yeah i'm in behavior therapy but its not doing much for me right now... and by angle i have to walk in directly between the edges, like completely dead center but if it's a tile floor i can't step on the cracks.. so its confusing people who have ocd are either washers, hoarders, counters, doubters, and checkers... i'm pretty sure i'm all 5.

I totally know what you mean. A couple years ago I used to walk out of my room be at the end of the hallway and have to run back to touch my door, just so I would feel right. I would do it every time I walked out of my room. Also packing is a big problem for me. Anywhere I am going, whether it is 19 hours away or 1 hour away. I pack everything I need (even making a mass list of everything two days in advance) and I still freak out on the way, trying to remember if I put something in or not. I will also leave certain things home, if I feel like they are going to break or somehow get damaged on the way. I also get very nervous when I am by water with a camera. I want to run away from all waters when I have a camera in hand, even if I know I will not drop it. When I was in elementary school I walked home from school everyday. There was this one house that had part of a stone sidewalk with shapes in it. I always had to step on the shape that looked like texas everyday. Sometimes you dont really think some behaviors are repetitive, but when you look back its like of odd finding an explanation of why you do things a certain way. Though it is hard, it has also helped me. I always have my homework done. I do NOT procrastinate. If I dont have something done, I will be bothered by the thought of not having it finished. Once in a blue moon I will forget about an assignment that was due and I freak out, constantly apologizing to my teacher, even though they could give a crap less. I just feel like, now my teachers will view me as a slacker, and that is NOT what I want. These are just a few things I deal with everyday.

You should read "Kissing Doorknobs" by Terry Spencer Hesser. It's a quick read about a girl with severe OCD...anyone should read it to get a better understanding of the disorder. I read it a long time ago, and it helped me understand why I do the things I do, and that it wasn't my fault that I couldn't stop doing them.

i absolutely get what u r saying.
