Recently I found out that I have OCD, I mean I've been showing symptoms of OCD for a long time but only now have I been able to recognize it as OCD. I spoke to some people who have it (found them on the interwebs) and we even shared some compulsions.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (often shortened to OCD) is a mental illness that causes repeated and unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and actions (compulsions). Obsessive thoughts trigger unpleasant feelings that stop when a compulsive action is preformed. This goes on and on.

Some of my symptoms:
-I can‘t stand open doors so I always close them and if they are closed already, I check them out to see if they are closed.
-I always turn the last page of a book after crossing to a new one to ensure I haven‘t skipped a page. I often count the pages while turning them as well.
-I get annoyed by stuff that stick out while watching TV (like objects and colours that don‘t blend with the background).
-Certain things need to be in correct order
-Door handles always have to stand horizontally

I'm sure I have more symptoms but these are the first ones that came to mind.
Anyway, I need to ask some questions. Does any of you reading this has OCD? How did you tell your parents (this is the major worry for me)? How do you deal with it, what are you symptoms? How does the treatment look like?

I have OCD also, when the volume on something is like 29, i must make it 30.

or in videogames lets say, coins, if i have 29, i have to find one more and then i avoid the other coins.

I believe I have this, for I share some of the same compulsions as you do

@caramelwaffles,

You reminded me of my own compulsion right now. When I'm at a menu of some game I have to scroll all of the options.

If I start in the middle I will try to go up to even the odds but they I realize I went through the other half twice. This keeps going until I realize its illogical and somehow stop myself.

I hope this made some sense.

@nixe12345,

Can you describe the feeling that makes you do compulsions. With me it's discomfort.

@Jackenack,

My compulsions were also stronger when I was younger. I fear them getting worse without any professional help but I also fear that my parents wouldn't take me seriously.

Does anyone know about you?

For me:

-I can‘t stand open doors so I always close them and if they are closed already, I check them out to see if they are closed.-Yes
-I always turn the last page of a book after crossing to a new one to ensure I haven‘t skipped a page. I often count the pages while turning them as well.-No
-I get annoyed by stuff that stick out while watching TV (like objects and colours that don‘t blend with the background).-Yes
-Certain things need to be in correct order-Yes
-Door handles always have to stand horizontally-No

And I'm the same with strange numbers like 19,29, 21, etc.

@nixe12345,

Yeah, me too. In order to stop the discomfort I preform the ritual. What sorts of rituals do you have?

When I'm watching Naruto, I can't stand to leave off at an episode that doesn't end in 5 or 0, I will even stay up till 3 in the morning to make sure I reach one of the numbers

@Wander221,

Sometimes I am also strange with numbers but its not really that extreme as my other compulsions.

@nixe12345,

Wow, that sounds extreme. My compulsions are not as extreme as yours and luckily they don't take as much time.

@MagicTyrant,

Well actually its not with all the doors. I found out that I get annoyed by only the doors I'm used to seeing closed (apartment door, my parents room door, my room). Some doors that I'm used to seeing opened (my grandmothers house doors, dining doors... etc).

As a young child, I would go around shutting all of the doors in the house, and then my parents would get annoyed

@nixe12345,

It's actually most of the stuff I described while talking to people in this thread and in the description of the thread.

Usually I remove stuff that annoy me when watching TV and playing games. I put them somewhere I can't see them. That's the most common ritual that happens daily.

I also did shut doors but my parents didn't really notice it.

@stardash,

Ow, then I have some questions. What are the rituals you preform? What feelings make you do these rituals? Do your parents know?

On the other hand, I'm left-handed.

It's funny how a person can be mad when a door is open.
