OCD - Obsessive compulsive disorder

I found out this summer that I have some mild OCD. I'm a counter. I notice the higher my stress level the more I count. I am lucky that it doesn't really control my life. Are you taking any meds for the issue? One of the ways they taught us to cope wit this was to change our routine. I normally count in fives, so they said to count in 3's or 4's.

I have OCD as well. I always make sure I turn everything off (Stove, dryer..etc) like 5 times (sometimes more) before I leave my house. It's like I know I turn things off, but I just have to check over and over again to make sure that it's off. It gets annoying.

I have it as well. I count, I have to make sure everything is off before I leave the house or go to sleep. I also, have to check the alarm clock. My son's first day of school I was up till 4 AM checking to make sure that it was set right. That was teh final straw and now I am on medication. I also struggle with depression, anxiety and SAD(Seasonal Affective Disorder) SAD is when winter's short days and long nights induce feelings of depression, lethargy, fatigue, cravings for sweets and starches, headaches, sleep problems and irritability. Though seasonal affective disorder commonly begins in young adulthood, it's uncommon in people younger than 20. It's more common in women. The cause is unclear, but it has to do with the amount of sunlight you receive.

mine also mild i guess. i didnt even know about this illness until i read about "luvox" and illnesses that it treated, and discover that i actually have this ocd thing. i always stare back at the room i was about to leave, to make sure everything is in its place, for abt 10 mins or more before actually leave.

I have OCD, which thankfully is not terrible anymore. I had terrible obsessions that invovled me washing my hands about 10-15 times a day, sometimes back to back because my hands just didn't feel clean, and me obsessively arranging everything I possibly could because it just didn't feel right the way it was. It was terrible, I'd keep doing it until I got exhausted and didn't feel like doing it anymore.

OCD is the pits. I have to line toilets with toilet paper. I count. I have to take the 2nd plate. I have to wash my hands till they are so dry. If I touch one I have to touch the other to. I have always had it as far back as I can remember. I used to get made fun of. I have trouble touching door handles.
