for people who have OCD?

Question

for people who have OCD, tell me your own personal tendencies. like what is it that you do repeatedly or that you think about. can i have some examples? i just wanna see if the things are do are the same things someone else does. thanks :)

Answer 1

For me everything has to be in a certain place. It also has to be in a certain number, like I can only have so many spoons in each slot in the silverware drawer. Everything has to be facing the same way, like ink pens in the cup, or books or papers. Nothing can be uneven. My book shelves in my living room have to have all the books that are the same size together, and they are also organized by color. The colors that are the same go together and then the colors that are similar go next, and so on. My mom says I did the same thing when I was younger with toys and crayons and stuff. My cloths have to be folded a certain way and put in the drawers or closet a certain way, and everything has to go together, ie shirts, jeans, socks, etc. It gets to be a pain sometimes for other people if they try to help me do things, but I am trying to work on not getting so frustrated or edgy at them just because they don't understand and they don't know that things have to go a certain way.

Answer 2

I think about that I will do something bad and not remember it. I think sometimes that God doesn't love me. Sometimes I think I may be getting a mental illness worse than OCD. Stuff like that I am always second guessing myself.
