The typical Y!A OC'Dee sufferer performs tasks (or compulsions) to seek relief from Y!A obsession related anxiety. Such tasks can feel critically important, and must be performed in particular ways to ward off dire consequences and to stop the stress from building up.
Symptoms of Y!A OC'Dee may include some, all or perhaps none of the following:
Repeated Questioning and Answering.
The repeated stalking of Askers.
Specific counting systems - e.g. asking questions in groups of five, grouping objects in odd/even numbered groups, etc. One serious symptom which stems from this is "counting" your Y!A points, e.g. you must end the day with "double zero's."
Having to "cancel out" bad Answerer's with good Answerer's. Examples of bad Answerer's are:
1] When asking a harmless and amusing question and certain Answerer's throw insults and call you names because they have not the wit to actually answer the question.
2] When a question is answered with little or no thought whatsoever, and is giving the "one word treatment," e.g. "maybe, no or yes" simply to rack up the answerer's points.
There are many other possible symptoms, and one need not display those above to suffer from Y!A OC'Dee. It is important to remember that one must be diagnosed by a doctor of Y!A to officially suffer from Y!A OC'Dee in medical terms; furthermore, possessing the symptoms above is not an absolute sign of Y!A OC'Dee...but let's face it...it's a pretty good indication.

I go with 5 or 8. It has to add up to 13 with the other one. It is something to to with my shoe size, and I have won often on the number 13 in roulette, including by biggest win ever. Another thing is the 5 fingers plus 8, um, never mind, but I still do that even at the gas pump. When they took away points for voting and rating on Y!A I sort of gave that up, here anyhow. I figured the when someone asked about being ready for back to school and you were all planned out and bought up through Valentine's Day that you had OC'Dee. Not that it is bad. I am not yet prepped for my job tomorrow. Halloween is still a bazillion years away for me. Make that Columbus Day.

It doesn't have to be double zeros, but I try ending with at least a zero on the end, and the next day when I login there's that one point - that's annoying.

No...
I have this major obsession that i have to end the night/day with a fabulous question.
This obsession is new but will probably stay for quite some time...
I'm just wondering what my very last question should be....
Last night's weren't so fabulous.
However, they were good enough for me to get out of my warm covers to my desk to type them up without glasses :)

OMG that's incredibly hilarious! And I have noticed this on occasion but it didn't dawn on me that it might be a similar obsession. I have to do this when I get gas! It has to be at an even $??.00 or I have to keep pumping until it is, regardless of how much gas spills all over!
It's a gift... and a curse.

With me it just has to end with a single zero. I'll vote on just one answer to make it an even zero number.

Back in my heyday on 'Answers I would do that. I also planned a goal each week, which was the number of points I wanted to have by the end of the week. But now *sigh* it matters not!!

I even have an identical difficulty, what I even have felt helps is focusing on yet another objective, or looking forward to a objective once you will plan for a baby. like in 2 years, think of approximately it in case you cant get this out of your head then according to probability you will in simple terms would desire to devote yet another determination is according to probability your mothers and fathers abuse on you is making this obsession worse. i might propose shifting out first and then seeing in the journey that your emotions exchange. according to probability as quickly as you sense a feeling of independence you will possibly need to circulate out and adventure extra of life and not basically quiet down good away. yet another theory is having an Mirena put in, it gets put in for 5 years and then in simple terms comes out after which you will commence attempting good away, it will make for perfect timing, besides solid success.

That's hilarious. I like my points to end in even numbers. If I have 10,999 points I will not stop answering or voting on questions until it's an even number.
