starting off

wells does anyone else see threre ocd as almost as comfort thing, like if someone upsets me i can get deep into it, and almost be inj my own little world sorta, like no one in the world can tell me you cant be ocd, if i wanna check the lights 10 times to make sure they are off, its my life my world, i di whatever makes me feel good then

I'm not sure if I have OCD but I check all the lights and doors several times. Sometimes I even get out of bed

I do too Ed. And you know what else I do? I have to make sure all my clothes fit in the closed from longest to shortest, all color coded too

me wells my apt is usually a mess, kinda ocd the oposite way, but yes ocd grrrrrrrrr atleast with driving its not bad, cept for making sure the car is in park, wen i park it

I think these are all very common things, except the hangers in the closet Brianna

I'm embarassed to say some of the things I do

for me i dont mind, its a pain at times but oh well, ive been doing it for so long im used to it

You're right Ed, I don't even think of my hangars anymore. It's just habit

ocd i dont sweat, we all have it to some degree

ok, so, do any of you count your steps? or the time you wash your hands? I do, have ever since I can remember and I never thought of it as a disorder until someone said it was...

I count stairs Terry. I also am bad about checking and re-checking that the door is locked, I also have a thing about even numbers!!

never counted stairs, mine is more of a safty thing, or if i think im getting sick it gets bad

I count stairs too, especially after a few too many

but that would be a focus thing, wouldn't it?

But the question is............how high can you count Mike

How high Kira? I can count to 12 real fast

Is that how many stairs there are?

Well if it is, or was, I all of a sudden how more stairs in my house

One must know their limitations! or the stairs

When he saw me in my PJs, he feel right "up" the step.

Well is was a sight Brianna

I have fallen "up" stairs, before I knew my limitations!

Yes Terry he tripped right into my house, all because I was in my PJs????
