O.C.. D (to all who don't know it's obsessive compulsive disorder)

Does anybody else on here have this? Well...i think i do...some examples
1. HAVE to have my hangers in my closet going the same way
2. Books on shelf HAVE to go from big to small hopefully alphabetical order
3. If i have to set it HAS to be 1- whatever number it goes to

I HAVE to stack all my books in a certain way.
I HAVE to make sure my radio volume number ends in 0,3,4,5,6, no others...
I HAVE to clean my room everyday (even if my room is spotless I HAVE to clean it, before I can sleep)
my keys, mobile, and ipod have to be set down in CERTAIN places... I cant have it any other way.
I only use CERTAIN types of cups, for CERTAIN drinks.
My food HAS to be eaten in groups, i.e. carrots then peas, then potatoes.
Oh and my school books HAVE to be put in lesson order in my bag.

That's just a little list... I think I might have a 'mild' OCD.
:) I fail :); ▶ Reply to This

My mum does as well.
There are many examples of this in my life,
But i'll give you some of them...

The volume on my TV and things have to be at an odd number.
The lids of my pens have to face a certain way.
My wardrobe is colour-ordered.
I cannot have a working clock in my bedroom, but i have no problem with them anywhere else.
I have to wear bags on my left shoulder.

I have routines and like structure in my life... Deviation from the routine is always bad...

So yeah, you're not alone on this one.
Actually, a surprising number of people suffer from this in mild forms :); ▶ Reply to This

This is why my mum has it, her younger sister died when they were young,
And her's started then.; ▶ Reply to This

I still do it sometimes if I'm not paying attention... I think that might be why I hate the number four... XD; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by MyEyesHurt on October 23, 2009 at 3:43am: I am pretty much a mess.
I have nothing set how I want it to be.
My hangers are on the floor.
My books are scattered on the floor.
etc.

However, I haven't observed myself.
I'll check back to this; ▶ Reply to This

Oldest would be on the left and recent on the right.

I keep my all letters from oldest to recent.
The same.
Left is old.
Right is recent

I don't believe I have an O.C.D. though; ▶ Reply to This
