What are you "Obsessive Compulsive" Over?

[overwatch]

Give a refrence that they will get - just watch Monk on Tv (the detective) - that should at least give an idea as to what is meant by OCD

[Manhattan_Project_2000]

Since when have people here ever let themselves be stopped by the fact that they haven't got a clue about what they were actually speaking of?

I know. It's still sad, though.

Yeah, but if I say, "Just go watch Monk" the people 'round here would get confused and start listing fears as an example of OCD.

Well, one thing I know I'm obsessive about ... checking my car is locked all the time >.> I know I've locked it and yet I can't stop checking the handle to make sure it's locked. *L* but that's about it ... basically I have to keep going back and checking that I've done something all the time and it sucks.

[King_Shadow89]

Keeping everything clean and neat.

Well...FOOD

I mean i really hate someone eating my food.GET YOUR OWN!!!I buy myself like 6 sandwiches and i sit infrond of the TV ready to start the one thing i'm looking forward to after a long day of school and practice and some1 comes and takes a sandwich.I feel like my whole meal was disturbed and it really pisses me of.I know its kinda weird but its hard to get over it

[Exquiro]

Most of you don't know what OCD is, and that's sad.

Like, half of you think it means Anal-retentive, and the other half of you have some vague idea of what it is, but think your little character quarks count when they don't.

You're completely right o_o Man... I feel like such a dunce XD

I am obsessive compulsive about everything thus, the name Ryuuzaki Lawliet ( I know those are different names, but I liked both so, there you have an example of obsessive compulsive behavior)

[Finvarra]

I NEEED a shower every day.
Sometimes twice a day.

I will go insane if i don't.
(I think that counts...?)

No. No it doesn't.

[Kawairashii hikari]

i'd say my video games, organized from the ones i play like everyday to ones i hardly play anymore...that's for my consoles and handhelds, and i really don't let anybody handle my handhelds except people that i trust since i luff my video games to death, and if they break i most likely will not get a new one from my parents...(they'll have to buy one for me...of course ^^') but and my cell phone important numbers in their of my dearest friends hate it if anyone broke it...

When playing monopoly, I have to line all my money up in order; 1s, 5s, 10s, etc. And I can never have any money thats not there. As in if something is like 150 dollars and I will run out of 50s if I use my last one, I'll use like four 10s and two 5s as to keep my money all "there." It bothers me soooo much when its not like that.

yes me too it has to be ordered like that so i know exactly how much i have and keep track of it

Basically from the Wikipedia linked it means you cannot help yourself to keep on doing it whether you want to or not.

You can be obsessive about something, but not go crazy, just like being obsessed with a singer or whatever.That's something you don't want to stop.

OCD controls you.

I'm not sure if my germaphobia is really OCD, but I can really go crazy if i'm not clean.Some things I will not tolerate to touch.

No, phobias are something completely different. Now if you have to wash your hands exactly 16 times to make the world correct, then you probably have OCD.

Hmmm Maybe I don't then, does getting every dirty part of my skin clean till the world is correct count, or only the way I do it, like the 16 time thing?

Either way, I need to be clean, to make my world correct lol.

Well, 16 times is an example. The point is the repeatition.

Ahhh.

Yeah, I don't think I have that.

I do have a numbers thing with some things, but nothing significant that changes me.

[Ωmega]

I have to sleep with calamine lotion on my face, otherwise I cant sleep. [I use it to prevent oil while I sleep, otherwise I break out really bad...its become a complusive thing]

I hate eating with my hands, and I cant bring myself to eat pizza with my hands...I use a fork and knife.

I constantly run my hand through my hair and run my fingers along my scalp. Ive tried to stop it, but I cant help but do it at least once a day.

I do this...shaky thing with my leg.

I have more, just cant think of them atm >_>;;

[KuroTan]

I do this...shaky thing with my leg.

I've got that too. That... shaky whatever it's called.

[DarkStory]

Heh, I'm shaking my leg now.

[Perpetual Specter]

I have a habit of tapping my fingers on my head a lot.O_o

I think this thread should be retitled to "The Habit/Phobia/OCD Thread".

[Kawairashii hikari]

[MistressPookyChan]

Everything has to be turned off and unplugged before going to bed or leaving the house. Instead of just checking once and leaving, I have to do it many times. And the cord has to be in the same place... and the plug can't be touching anything else (just in case). Then, I fret about it for awhile on the train. SOOOO annoying, especially when I miss my train over it.
