I'm obsessed with my room.
I won't let my mom rearrange it.
Not at all.
Everything stays put.

I need to have two windows open at the same time, everytime.
I mean, computer windows. If I only have one window, I feel weird and impatient.

My PreMed Advisor has a Severe Case of OCD, He has to Align the whiteout bottles in complete lines of 12 and it has to be from the ones that works to the bottle that doesnt work. When we store our labcoats we have to put em from smallest to biggest. Hes always cleaning his hands and his shoes.. Its crazy.. The only that I do thats sort of OCD-ish is when I eat any type of round candy IE M&M's Skittles etc I have to eat em by even numbers I dont know why but I just have to eat 'em like that

When I call someone, they have to answer. I cannot stand asking for them, THEY must be the one that answers or else I won't call them again. Ever.

I have to be on AIM when I turn on the computer. If it doesn't have AIM, I'll download it. Whatever. x.x
And I have use a mouse on every computer/laptop I go on. Or else, I couldn't go online. That's why I always bring my wireless mouse and the plug. :]

I remember when you told me that, it was almost like your were making a confusion..hehe

I am ocd about categorizing things. Everything has to be in order. Movies, cd, video games and I get upset when someone goes behind me and misplaces my "hard work". This sounds sooo dorky but I use to put my clothes lightest to darkest when I hung them up in my closet when I was little. ohhhh *blushes* I cant believe I am telling people this.....

I have a really bad kind of OCD. I'm on alot of medication for it...

...It's not a particular thing I'm obsessed about...It's more I tell myself I can't do something over and over (That's the obessive part) and then all of a sudden- i can no longer physically do it (That's the compulsive part). I swear you can ask my psychiatrist. That's what the real thing is like for a lot of people. Anywho it is really bad because it affects my schoolwork and also has a side effect of depression.

For instance, in the 7th grade I convinced myself I couldn't read.
In the 10th grade I convinced myself I couldn't do vibrato on violin (even though I've played for 9 years).
and so on...

It's okay now I guess. I'm okay because I'm on stuff...it just kind of sucks because sometimes your OCD medication stops working. And then you start convincing yourself you can't do things that you LOVE to do. And it just...It's so hard to talk about that kind of thing because someone who doesn't have it can't really understand what it's like to convince yourself you can no longer do what you love.

But it helps me when I make films!! Because I Have to get the shot just right The rest just really is awful. I can't really explain those kinds of terrible experiences to people. It's strange and so awful that you just want it to stop so badly- you don't want to torture yourself anymore. But that's how it feels. People ask me "Why do you do that? Why?" and I can't really tell them why...I just DO!

I'm glad I got help because it was just really bad.

[this is kinda same to the posting thing] i always check the top 10 posters of the day[i dont know why]...if im like 5 posts behind someone, i will try to get 6 to get ahead of that person...and if the next person has about like 8-10 posts...i will try to get those before i leave...[kinds aweird ]

if i have no music while im on the computer. its pointless to go on using the computer. somehow i cant use the computer without music it bugs me like hell.

I think everyone has OCD.....
just some more so than other.

Same here. I can't stand sitting there and waiting for that single window to load. I have to have another window fully loaded, waiting for me.

I know this sounds weird, but i'm completely obsessed with highlighting. Not with highlighters... with the mouse. While i read something (anything), i continuously highlight & un-highlight the text. Over and over again. It comes naturally, i don't even notice until someone tells me.

I don't like people touching my personal things- especially my brother. If he touches something like a cd player, I freak out.

I think an an obsession and an obsession compulsive disorder are pretty different....It's like on The Aviator, washing your hands until you bleed. Wiping your mouth until the skin tears. So I don't have it.

i can't stand not being on the computer and online, usually when someone calls and disconnects me, thats so crappy, i need better internet.

yeah same here, except I usually have 5 tabs opened on firefox
and adobe and aim all open...and itunes usually.
I have two windows//4 tabs right now

i'm obsessive compulsive about the music tags on my computer too. i also have to have my cd collection in alphabetical order on my desk. last summer i had a lot more stuff... i wouldn't sleep if everything in my little world wasn't "right." so when my parents went to bed i would go downstairs/outside and make sure the doors were locked, the tv was on a certain channel and volume before it was turned off, our remotes were on the right settings, the blinds were down, the windows were closed, the dresser doors were closed, the water faucets were all completely off, the toilet seats were down, the pillows on the couch were in the right place, the towels in the bathroom were hung up correctly, the outside bathroom door was closed, the leaf traps were clean and covered by the plastic thing, the pool cover was on correctly, our fence gates were closed, our equipment box was closed, our storage doors were closed, the pool settings were right, there weren't any clothes left drying outside, our door mats didn't have any leaves on them, i knew the pool temperature, i remembered the punch line in that days calvin and hobbes and get fuzzy, my ipod had to be on hold, i had to know the high weather for tomarrow, etc etc etc. it usually took me about 90 minutes to do all of this.

Yeah, I have a somewhat moderate case of it.

I'm a 'checker.' I always check things about ten times before I walk out of a room.

Things have to be perfect in my signature and on my playlist. Perfectly done capitalization and such.

I organize my school binder at LEAST two times a day. If it's not organized in a certain way, then I go crazy.

When I put my shoes on, I have to get them equally tight. I tie both of them and walk around for a minute. If they're not equally tight, then I go back and redo both of them until they're both as equally tight as I can get them.

My keyboad has to be perfectly aligned when I type, or else I just stare at it and I physically can't bring myself to type on it if it's not perfectly aligned.

I alphabetize my CDs every single day. I always alphabetize them in the exact same way, but I just go back and rearrange them and rearrange them for hours, but then it occurs to me that I put them back in the exact same way.

Yeah... things like that. There are a few more.

I'm big on the checking things though... lots of paranoia behind that one. =P


Whoa, I thought that said, "I'm obsessed with my mom" at first. o_O


Omgahhh, I do that too.

wow, william

i'm not very ocd at all, although my friend thinks i am since evry single day in language arts i managed to play with the zipper on her bag. it wasn't on purpose...

i put things in my mouth. i don't chew, but i put things in my mouth. but i do chew my pen.

Ahhh and yet I do as well....

:twitch:

I've been diagnosed as OCPD (Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder) for a little under a year now, although I've been living with the disorder for about 6 years. Mine centers on extreme anxiety and not being able to start major projects due to the inability to start over (ie - I won't start a paper because I *have* to do it right the first time, but at the same time I know it's not going to happen that way. So I just avoid it.) Then the stress builds up and I take it out on myself, which eventually led to my CSP disorder... @_@
I have lots of other little twitches associated with it, like hoarding, eating my food a certain way every time (also only eating one thing at a time, rather than mixing my food together), lining things up exactly, taking a shower in the morning before I do *anything*....

^ thats so sad. . .

i have a lot of habits. i bite my lip a lot when im anxiuos or nervous. and i dont' realize im doing it until it starts bleeding sometimes. i always bite the skin off thats coming off already or chapped. i always have to use chapstick so i don't peel off the skin anymore. arg. i hate that stupid habit.

no i dont... but i just saw the movie 'the aviator' and howard hughes had it... it was scary
