homsar42 answered Thursday August 31 2006, 9:54 pm: kind of. you seem to have the compulsive part, but i don't hear any obsessions. ocd isn't just about being a perfectionist or organized. there are usually...i guess 'bad' thoughts that come along with it.

uisforukelele answered Thursday August 31 2006, 9:19 pm: i think you just have a few quirks, not necessarily OCD. when you have OCD, it like, controls your life and disrupts your daily activities. i used to count my steps in threes, and if i went up stairs and when i got to the top i landed on 2, i would take another step in place because i had to count by threes. however, that was just stupid and i didn't have OCD because i got over it five years ago. a lot of my friends are like that, but they don't have OCD.

Jodieee answered Thursday August 31 2006, 8:36 pm: Most people with OCD have more than one thing that they are obsessed about. For example: They have to open and close a door lets say..4 times before the enter a room, or they always always have to wash their hands, or they have to turn the lights on and off 3 times before entering the room etc.
Its not likely OCD because OCD usually disrupts your life. So it might just be one of those odd things that people like to do.
isis answered Thursday August 31 2006, 8:35 pm: It could be OCD, do you get very agitated if something is not even, as this is one of the symptoms? Is there anything else worrying you at the moment that could cause you to feel this way?
If you are that concerned you should see a doctor, they would be able to diagnose you correctly and if you do have OCD arrange for suitable treatment to help. If you are really worried about this I would suggest seeing a doctor as soon as you can, as the longer you leave it the more stressed you are going to get.
Hope that helps and good luck. [ isis's advice column | Ask isis A Question ]
