OCs please share what obsessive-compulsive disorder you have. The slightest to the most serious cases of OCness are welcome.
I'll start with me of course confessing. I have this habit of going back and again to the comfort room to pee. To me this is serious case already since most of the time, I spend 15-45 minutes just doing the whole thing over and over... This is torture to me especially at nights when I'm really sleepy and tired but can't go to sleep because I go back to CR again. And another habit I have also is that I always check the LPG tank in our kitchen if it's closed. And even if I've closed the tank already, everytime I go to the kitchen, I check on the tank again.

I haven't told my family about my counting prob either lol. Listen i don't wanna scare u but frequent urination is a sign of early diabetes. Idk how old u are but it happens to the elderly bc of their age too. U might want to have it checked out tho. Best wishes to u.

Counting words. Usually when I am very bored. i can be listening to someone tell a long boring story and still be resonding appropriately to them and at the same time counting their words and my responses. Sometimes I also do it even if the story isn't boring but I have someplace else that I am supposed to be or something more important to do. It is REALLY annoying but once I start I can't stop. I can sometimes go for months without doing it, but once I start it is hard to stop. Weird huh?

That is weird habit yes. Can't afford to giggle...sorry. But I guess all of us who have OCDs just laugh our weirdness off. Our disorder's so annoying, really. I sometimes would cry in the comfort room because I couldn't understand why I can't control myself for doing those things over. Arrgh!
. But I am always afraid of losing it.
