About this guy who had this kind of obsession with making EVERYTHING in his house perfect, if they were'nt then he'd get this feeling that his family would get hurt i.e, wife rides bike everyday and thinks she will get knocked off by a car, son does boxing and he thought he may be seriously injured, things like that.

The things he felt he HAD to do was count 12 lots of 12 on his fingers and all the ornaments on the tables were postioned so many CM's apart and at certain angles, food in the fridge has to be put at the sides and very neatly. If one of these things weren't right he would just basically freak out because he felt his family weren't safe.

His life is totally messed up and he's messed up his familys aswell, how bad would that be

 

Its called OCD and is more common than you think.

However, ginge thought he was lying

 

My best friend's mum has this from a cleanliness perspective - she washes her hands over 100 times a day..............

Very unfortunate affliction, and often overlooked by too many people.
