Everyone has a little bit of obsessive compulsive in them.....?

Question

What is your disorder? I have to have water running whenever I go to the bathroom, even at public restrooms. Its just a compulsive thing lol.

Answer 1

You know, you are right. Everyone has some kind of obessive compulsive disorder to them, whether they realize it or not. I also have to have water running while I go to the bathroom. I also can't stand it when the dishes start to get piled up. It drives me nuts! I also have to have my pillows on my bed a certain way. See, some people don't realize that even the smallest thing can become an obsessive issue, like folding your clothes a certain way, hanging your towels in the bathroom a certain way, holding your phone. There is nothing wrong with this in my opinion, unless you have to take some sort of medication for it. Good question, it makes people think!

Answer 2

I have several, washing my hands before and after using the rest room, if in a public restroom I use a paper towel to open the door. When I leave home I have to check and make sure everything is turned off and the door is locked, sometimes I get down the street a couple of blocks and turn around and go back home to double check. I am always looking for hairs in my nose and ears, this drives me crazy! I lock all doors behind me, I have locked my self out of the house several times, had to get a hide a key. I cannot stand pubic hair or any kind of hair is the sink or bathtub. I have more, but I will stop here. Once I get started with these things it is hard to stop!!!!

Answer 3

I am really glad to have come across this question. I have suffered from extreme OCD. (ALMOST unbearable) Since, I was 5yrs old I am now 28. At 24, I went to the doctor with alot of hypothyroid symptoms. They checked my TSH levels and it was High borderline. A few months later developed a goiter, so my doctor gave me synthroid, I later had him do a thyroid antibody test which came back positive for autoimmune Hashimoto's Thyroididtis, within the first 24 hours of taking synthroid I was totally OCD free for the first time in 21 yrs! My doctor doesn't believe me, but I know the truth, as I am the one living in my body and brain. I just want people with OCD know that they should have their thyroid checked and insist on getting a thyroid antibodies test! I have not been on thyroid medication for the past year now and still have not had my symptoms return. I do still wash my hands a bit more often as most, but it isn't to the compulsive point, I think after so many years of doing it it just became habit. I don't have the complusive need to check the stove, lock and count anymore. I am so happy to finally be freed from the mental anguish of this disorder.PLEASE if anyone suffers from thisplease use this information to you advantage while my doctor doesn't believe it. I KNOW, from my own experience. They still don't know the cause of this disorder, But this CURED me. So this medication must have a substantial impact on this disorder. That many doctors are unaware of.

I always have to have a fan blowing in my room, or in the room that I am staying at while I sleep, no matter how cold it gets(i like the sound) , I have to have the water running when I go to the bathroom too, I have to wash my hands after everything I touch that is not my boyfriend, and I always have to have something in my hands or else I get anxious and freak out and I have to straighten everything I see, even at department stores (i don't even know I am doing it)

Answer 5

I can only set my alarm clock when the last digit is 3 or 7.

The shower curtain hooks have to be arranged 7 on one side of the notch (where the rod slides into itself) and 5 on the other.

I have to have a rubber band wrapped around the pen I write with.

I've got a few others...most of my "urges" I suppress, but I figure if I let myself have those few small ones I can keep it in check.

Answer 6

I have to wash my hands 3 times after touching anything in public and if it's a bathroom I absolutely have to have a papertowel while opening the door. Also, everything in my house has to be completely spotless and everything has a specific place and if it's not in the right place I flip.

I don't like anyone else doing my laundry. Now....if anyone wants to come and clean my house, please feel free.......
