Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Tweet

Do you or have you ever had OCD? Even if you were never diagnosed, have you ever had obsessive or compulsive habits? When my parents divorced, I was 16. I didn't think I was upset until I started a doing a very strange thing. Whenever anyone would talk to me, I would count the letters in every word they said (in my head, of course). And not only that, but they had to come out even. Don't ask me to explain that part! lol I thought I was totally nuts, and what was really funny to me, was that nobody knew I was doing this. And I do mean nobody. I had no idea why it stopped. Thank goodness it did. I never told anyone about it until I my own daughter was grown. She is the one who told me it was OCD. I'm just glad I got through it. Have you ever experienced anything like this? I did have a counselor tell me one time that she knew I was obsessive-compulsive because I ironed my clothes (that was in the 80's). I thought, you don't have a clue, lady! lol
