Q: ok. i know this is like the third ocd post, but i have been mening to post this. what is ocd exactly? because i think i might have it.
-sometimes i make myself breathe a certain way, to like make a pettern
-i have to tap sonthing or touch it to make a noise pattern.

its mostly things like with patterns and stuff. and i cant stop it. Once, It all stopped for like 6 months, and i dont know if it was a oincedence, but in that period of time, i had stopped reading. then when i started to read books again it started up again. thanks for your time.

ocd is obsessive compulsive disorder (u probably already knew that though!) and it is like when you have to do something because you feel like if you don't you're going to get all tense. And it just doesn't feel right if you don't do something. I think almost everyone has a little bit of ocd because there are certain things that everyone does that is strange. I do many things like that too, like spinning around and then spinning back around to make it even. I don't think it has anything to do with reading, but you never know. If you think you might have it then go see like a doctor or something. But I wouldn't worry about it unless it gets worse and worse. It may just be something that comes and goes because I had ocd when I was 7 or so and now it's not as bad. From what you wrote about the pattern things, I know what you mean. And I think it could be a very not serious ocd (idk if that makes sense lol)like it's just something little. It may get worse or it may just be like something that will get better. Or you may not even have it at all. Unless it really bothers you, I don't think you should worry.

yeah....i have that make it even thig too....thanks!
