Before I go to bed, I have to count to 4, 4times, shut out the light really fast and close my eyes for 4 seconds. I strongly believe that If I don't do this I will die.
Do you have any embarrassing OCD 'habits'?
I check under my bed every night before I go to sleep. I'm convinced that if I don't, I'll have awful nightmares.
I blow my dream catcher thing to make sure it's cleared for the night.
when i put any disc in like a console i have to move it around til i see that its secure and i do it once more before i close it.
I hold my breath for about 5 seconds after someone coughs or sneezes. Also, say someone accidentally coughed on my sleeve. I rub purel on my hands and rub it into my sleeve.
Before I go to bed I make sure to hold and close my eyes (so I won't see scary figures in the dark) til the morning.
So much for not reading.
Go read someone else's post!!
i have another. i have to make sure things are all off and if they're not i have to go back and check repeatidly. and then make sure the door is closed and also i have to make sure that if i wipe my leg or something i have to do the same to the other.
I have to do things in counts of four. I walk in counts of four. Hold my breath random times for fourseconds. I have to do certain things in sixteens because its my lucky number. I do some things in four because its the square root of my lucky number.
My skin-picking is probably the most embarrassing. I pick at pretty much anything really. Scabs, blemishes. And especially my fingers. They're not too bad, but they have some noticeable scarring around the cuticles. I just bite the skin around the nail unconsciously. That started around the time I got over my nail-biting, actually.
Well my tv volume has to be divisible by 5. And if I(this is hard to explain) if one part of my body is touched i have to touch the other part until i am comfortable and same with taking drinks, if the drink is in one side of my mouth too long I gotta do the other side as long.
Hey I'm Jace, if you ever have any questions or just wanna talk I'm here for you!
Oh gwarsh.. don't get meh started.. I used to, thank God I stopped! Tuck in my sheets around my head and body so I was in a cocoon. Now I just sleep with the covers over my head. I have to wash my face, then brush my teeth, then pick at my face..
In class I pick at my face, scabs, blemishes anything. If I have skin on or near my cuticles I will pick it off. I literally will pick at my nails for hours..
Everything electronically volume has to be divisible by 5.
I have lots of quirky rituals. I have to cut my food up into small bits before I eat. I eat by colors and by caloric values. I also pick at my food. I also pull eyelashes..
For me, whatever I listen to or watch it's volume HAS to be on an even number no matter what.
In my underwear drawer, I have to have the briefs, boxers, and boxer-briefs separated. I guess that's not too bad for OCD.
