Yep, I have OCD. It’s not fun my any means! My case is where i everything has to be an even number, mainly 4. EX: volume, time on a timer, number of coats of mascara I put on. If i mess up, say put on 3 coats, i will do little rituals where I like ground my teeth, hold my breath, or cross my eyes in little sequneces of 4. its really ahrd to expalin unless you watch me. i try to contain myself in public but when i get home, i do it like 16 times. I have had the signs since i was little. also everything has to be perfect! i hate it but i get through it. i tell my friends and they help me alot. some times a simple distraction is all i need

I have a doubt about having OCD.It doesn’t affect my life drastically..however,it does in a mild way.I have compulsions like touching a particular thing or looking up at something at an inappropriate moment.It doesn’t really get in the way of my things but it definitely is annoying!

My brother suffers from OCD. He can’t hug me because of it. But, yesterday, I finally got a hug, willingly, after 5 years!!! I also suffer from Doubter’s OCD. Its tough to live with. OCD isn’t a term to be used lightly.

I’m glad I’m not alone my excessive hand washing started in middle school. I had to reduce it when my skin started peeling but I’m still an excessive hand washer and glad I’m not alone.

I’m pretty sure I’ve got it mildly. Shelf organization for me goes beyond just making things neat: if books/movies in a series don’t match (i.e. all hardcover or all paperback), I actually will go out and buy new copies, even if I already have them. I’m always checking to make sure I’ve dialed the right number multiple times before I hit send. I count money I get from customers, and the change I give back, several times, and when I want to lock a door, I double-check almost every time. The hand-washing thing isn’t as bad for me, though. I only wash them after I’ve been touching things I know are dirty, or can actually see/feel dirt, food, etc on them.

Omg I have a very close friend named Sierra and she has OCD too! Hers is stress triggered and when we did a group project in school once she almost had an attack because of our teacher (who treated her awfully).

My mom and I both have OCD. It’s hard for me because I’m constantly washing my hands and freaking out if just the slightest spot of one hand isn’t washed correctly, I am always afraid that if I leave my room and don’t switch to a blank window on my computer that something unexplainable will be seen by my parents… if anything is just a slight millimetre out of place, I will freak out and try my best to fix it.
The last point really gets to me every time I have to work with the class clown on projects, because he’s always laughing at me for needing everything to be right.

My mom and my brother both have OCD. They can be hard to deal with when they don’t take they’re medicine, but I understand they’re condition. I agree with Sierra about the jokes. Sure they may be funny to those who haven’t seen OCD in the REAL world ( Not on “Monk”), but for me and my family, we just roll our eyes at those jokes. I hope people read this article and realize just because you’re super organized you DON’T HAVE OCD. OCD is a hard thing to live with- for the victim and those around him/her. Don’t make jokes about it because they ARE NOT funny.
