OCD sufferers: to what level of severity does your disorder extend?

Question

for me, it's counting. everything. from the number of steps on a stair case, to the broken lines on the highway (but only if i am the passenger)

Answer 1

For me it's doing things evenly between the left side of my body and my right. For example, if I step on a crumpled leaf with my left foot, I feel uncomortable and can't stop thinking about it until I step on an equally crunchy leaf with my right.

Answer 2

I have to turn off plug sockets that are not being used and memorize every number plate i see and also scrunching my toes up when im walking down the street from each pole or when im sitting in doors if i do it to 1foot i have to do it to the other then both together and if i do it wrong i have to start again and i cant have stuff on my desk not straight or c.d's and stuff , my boyfriend found all this really annoying now finds it cute and laughs at me some times.

Answer 3

I can't touch a spot on my neck. I can't even look at other people touch this spot on their own neck. If bugs bunny touched donald duck on this spot it would make me uncomfortable. But it stops there (at this quarter sized spot on a neck) and doesn't enter my life in any other capacity.
