i'm sure spending hours locked in a little box room would be great for ones sanity

 

gingeRS

I talk to myself- it helps

 

I cant relate to anything that has been said on here. the toilet roll seems to be a big thing for a lot of people. i dont find it amusing though and would not laugh at anyone who suffers from OCD. Must be a sodding nightmare for you

 

rich - the toilet roll thing doesnt make me loose sleep just annoys me

 

and me

 

trhere is a few things i do i say things that rhime all the time , i cut things like chips to fit in a sandwich ,i some times get the urge to hit people to see what reaction i get and no im not a bully these are usualy steroid pumped bouncers or bullys

 

I get that, i just imagine hitting someone just to see what would happen? Like a random customer at work or a female collegue...though obviosuly i never ever would.

I also do the 'not walk on cracks' thing, or on 3 drains, or under signs.

Been a lot better on the touching wood thing i mentioned earlier since a few people pointed out i do it a LOT now, as in 100 times a day at work probably
Decided to stop as i dont like the idea of being controlled/addicted to something so i test myself to see if i can stop it and i have

 

what i DIDNT tell you is that my computer at work has a program that if i have it on a full screen it slows the swapping between the 2 screens,,,,, so ive put a A4 piece of paper on the right hand side to make the screen appear to be smaller as thats the most i can enlarge it,,,,, i have 2 computers at work on my desk and they BOTH have this,,,,, i STILL know its there but i feel better that i cant see it

 

I'm like that on the phone to strangers, stutter and get worked up and blush (even though they can't see me lol)

If car windows are down they must be equal

Have to watch telly before i goto bed if not drunk

Everything i type i read through at least once in case of mistakes or typing what im thinking

must tap the spoon on the top of the cup 2 times when making a cup of tea but not coffee

I too get the urge to pull the handbrake on at speed, even in other peoples cars, and drive into on coming traffic to see who would win

loads of others but there staying in my head

Bri.

 

I have to log onto Passionford daily, to me its normal...


.....to the chick its OCD.....

 

This thread makes me feel normal, although I do most of what has already being mention, other than the three manhole covers.

I used to have to have a matching knife and fork..

The kitchen has to be tidy, sod the rest of the house.

My wallet has to be ib my left pocket and my phone and keys in my right.

I have to make a cup of tea/coffee while the computer boots up.

I cannot press return once, unless for acedemic reasons.

I also get the urge to do something I shouldn't like punch someone, pull the handbrake up when someone else is driving, drive into on coming traffic, throw myself off high places (but luckily resisted all temptation)

All my cars must have mudflaps

My trip meter must be zero'd on on petrol refill

When selling stuff it has to be rounded to the nearest £5 (up if its less than a fiver)

My handbrake has to be ap[plied if i'm stationary for more than 5 seconds, even if i can see a gap in the traffic.

The zip/buttons on my top must bu all open, all closed or done up to my sternum.

I must lie on my left to go to sleep.

I can never give pence at the bar, its always rounded up to the nearest £

The stereo must be on an even number, although 5, 15, 23 and 25 are exceptions.

My birth date should be 09/09/1986 and never 9/9/86 and can only type it when demonstrating what i don't like.

I can never stare constantly into someone's eyes when conversing.

Tilly our Westie must always go to bed with her toy bone i bought her.

Those are just a few...

 

Omg i think i'm mad too

I have my own order of washing in the bath,

I have to have the toilet roll the right way ie from the top not underneath,

When i smoke a fag the writing must face upwards at all times i even squeeze the filter as hard as i can so it dents it then if it moves position i notice straight away,

I have a set routine when i get up in a morning, Go in kitchen fill and switch on kettle, Go to the toilet + have a wash while kettle boils, make a drink of tea and drink it whilst smoking a fag,

I have a serious habbit of smelling / sniffing things without realising the mrs told me,

I have to have the drivers window down an inch at all times although mainly for flicking fag ash as i will not tolerate using car ashtrays and have been known to have a go at people when buying a car off them if they've used the ashtray,

No matter how tired i am i cant get to sleep unless im lay on my left side facing out of the bed,

I never ever turn my mobile off dont know why just cant no matter how much i sometimes want to even in places where they must be switched off i put it on silent,

When i lock the car i check every door even though it has central locking and i've just listened to it dead lock,

Last but not least when i start the car before a journey i always turn the stereo right down untill i get to the top of the street just so i know it sounds alright no matter what car i own i always do this

Can't think of anymore atm as i'm knackered and off to bed but i'll ask the mrs tomorrow i'm sure she can tell me loads that i've missed

I'm mad help

 

Whenever I walk past a fan I want to put something in it like a pen or my finger, I stayed with my girlfriend for the weekend and I was having to bite my tongue hard as she has a ceiling fan. I badly wanted to stick a pen in it but I knew I couldn't so I ended up going to bed.

I can't have my stereo on an uneven number and my girlfriend knows this now and to piss me off she will knock it to say 13 when I had it on 14. I was once in a mood because we had driven home from wales and I forgot to check it when I got back from getting petrol. I could go as far as to say I regretted going on holiday.

If I am watching television and something on the table like a bottle catches my eye I have to move it. Even if it's my sisters drink. I have to put it so I can't see it. Otherwise my eye is on it all the time and not the television. I can't stand it.

I have a bottle of pepsi max in front of me know and I will try and make it even like for example

pe
ps
im
ax

But If I get a word like passion I'm fucked and it winds me up like

Pa
ss
io
n
It's not 2 2 2 2 it's 2 2 2 1

So I will try

pas
sio
n

3 3 3, I wanted but I got 3 3 1. Now I'm biting my toungue.

I cannot stand selotape anywhere and I have to peal it off. I leave a shop with no price tags. And I have about 200 in my pocket ready for the bin.

When I sleep at night I can't have any light showing at all, Are new boiler is in my room and has a red light. I have to cover it with cardboard. But even then I know it's on so switch the boiler off.

When I got bed I will check the following for burglars,

Behind the curtains, Behind all the doors and under the tables etc And when I am down stairs on my own every light has to be on.

I cannot go past my fridge without looking inside it, I can walk past, look inside go past and on my way back past I will look in again.

When I watch something on Sky I have to sit there pressing select and seeing what I'm watching every other 5 seconds.

I have to park in my street facing the park everytime, When I was drunk and someone borrowed my car I was wound up because I wanted it facing the park.

As for the Fan one, I once went to a roadshow with my dads charity association and they had a fan and I had to stick a pen in it. The noise was mental.

My mind is always working overtime, I couldn't go for a piss at my girlfriends house as I was sure someone was in the bathroom and she wouldn't come with me. I held my piss in all night and when I had a piss I was nearly crying in agony. I did it both nights. I'm fine in bed but out of bed a light has to be on. And now I have a bed with an underneath part I have to check every five minutes for a burglar. And at the Mo I'm on the top bunk and I haven't slept in weeks. I think my brother is watching me from the bottom up and I can't sleep.

I could be here all night, Benni. Some of them are ruining my life.

 

Benni just reminded me of one - I have to have my car facing the park too Its annoying me that my car is facing the shops ( Its only facing that way, as thats the way the recovery van came in, and I cant start and turn it!) Probably because most the time I like to drive off that way to my mates, saves going the long way round... Yet i'll drive the long way to park my car that way, instead of doing a 3 point turn in my road?



Another-


I always go make myself piss after a wank, Yet I dont after sex




Oddballs

 

Charlie Chalk I do that aswel! And while your piss isn't coming out Cum is dribbling out your penis? Then after minutes of pushing your bladder you piss.



Is there a cure for OCD THEN?

 

I don't drink the whole cup of tea neither, I have a fear of thick sugar being at the bottom.

 

not drinking the whole cup of tea is possibly just because earlier in life you had a proper cup with leaves in the bottom

and for those of you that must reset your trip meter when you refuel - get a honda civic, it does it automatically

 

Superb thread and really interesting to read!

I can't have the volume on any stereo or TV on an odd number, has to be even. I have to go up stairs 2 at a time, not one.

Always have a cappaucino (sp?) before flying and always have an aisle seat.

 

heres one for you....air vents in the car......mine have to be perfectly lined up with all the others and i have to have them all pointing outwards and if someone moves them its the end of the world

Headrests have to be down and tilted at the same angle

When i stop the car i have a routine for getting out.

Engine off,stereo off,check lights,wipers,windows shut,fold mirrors in on the mondy then when i get in the exact opposite or i get stressed out.

What a fucked up nation we are

 

FREAKS the lot of you !!!!!

 

You have gold wheels though

 

When I'm in a Barclays bank and they have their little payment slips and envelopes and occasional leaflets shoved in these little plastic pockets where you queue up, I HAVE to tidy them up. I cant stand in the queue and not tidy them

Like saff cossie, the stereo in my car HAS to be on at an even number (no exceptions though)

I also avoid treading on those 3 manhole covers too. I can tread on the first two but not the third, but generally I avoid all of them.

 

did you know that most of us on this thread are showing signs of asd or aspberges

 

I like this thread, it's great that we have all been able to come out and lay ourselves bare in front of each other and like people have said, it's great knowing that so many of us have weird little things that we do.

It would be easy to believe that it's only something like 1 person in 1000 that has any form of ocd, the way the press talk about it.

Big up everyone

 

Seriously?

 

yes

 

were mad

WET_AND_HAIRY

 

Oh god where do i start!

Before i go out i have to check the back door is locked, and check the downstairs bathroom taps are not on twice!

If ive turned taps off, i have to put my hand under twice to see if there is any drips coming out

God knows what it is with taps prob me being tight as im on a water meter!

I used to be really bad until i had treatment for OCD, i had to do things in 5 and if i didnt i really thought something bad would happen or someone close to me would die

 

I have some weird ones.....

I constantly stick cotton buds in my ears to the point where I actually hurt my ear canals on regular basis...can I stop myself doing it? can I fuck

 

certified

 

Im the same as most people on here to be honest.

Although i can never do things in multipulls of 3 or if it had a 3 in it, say im at work using a hammer, and i hit something 6 times ill have to do it again even if there isnt any need to because its a multipull of 3, Wierd!

And also if i walk past something eg radiator and want to touch it, but walk past it and want to touch it but dont, ill think about it again and have to go back to it and touch it for some reason, does my head in!

When ever im reading some thing on the net im constantly highlighting it and dehigh lighting it,

I also cant sit still, if im lying down i have to keep shaking my foot or click my fingers or something, abit annoying!

Whats ASD?

 

autistic spectrum disorder which also includes aspberges !! google it

 

MATT J

I also hate queing, whether it be on foot or in the car, I'll do a 5 mile detour down country lanes that takes longer than sitting in the traffic just so I dont have to stop same on foot, I'll just go home and come back another day when there isnt a que
_________________

Same here pal and talking of which gee jays near you is a fucking nightmare for queing

SELBY RST I'm also with you on the not sitting still and foot shaking thing i even shake my foot in bed ffs

 

Gets on your tits dont it! i lying in bed now doing it

Anal Stabbing Disorder

This is a weird one, i did it for years. When im walking down the street i have to make sure my feet have even paving slabs i.e long ones and short ones MUST be shared out between feet

 

I've just found anither I do!



When ever I go out and I put new jeans on, I pick up my chang and I fish out all the coppers and 5p's
