well i took the test at PhychCentral (sorry i accidently deleted the post before this) and i scored 14 with means OCD is likely, so ive decided to go to my GP.

OCD.

I used to have this exact problem, I would have to do things equally with my left and right arms and legs. Sometimes it was even more than twice, maybe four or eight times overall! BUT I think it was just a weird phase, I haven't done it for years because I told myself it was stupid and a waste of time. I think I still have mild OCD: if I'm particularly worried about something I start having to touch things a certain amount of times etc., but I always tell myself to stop it. You have to try to be strict with yourself, building it up until its evetually not an issue anymore.

Yeps, sounds like OCD. I used to have it and I kept washing hands and switching lights on and off 3 times whenever I entered a room! Maybe you should see your doctor?

I some times have this, but not as much as you. For example i have to go to sleep on an postive time eg. 12.20 i cant go to sleep if its 12.21 for some reason it has to be postive numbers. But sometimes i think to my self why the fuck am i doing this, and so i crack out of it, but then it just comes back again.

lol! I do the same think execpt i have to run through all the channels at least twice!

I used to do this when I was little. Still do, to some extent, but I my friends all say I have OCD so I guess it hasn't completely gone! It's nothing abnormal, though - just a need to feel that everything is even and balanced.

Pretty normal. If you feel the need to change, force yourself not to do it. Get up and do something else before you even it out.

thats OCD
i have it too.

its ocd


i had it,maybe still have it,but its way too depressed


just control your mind - i know man its freaking hard to just do it then saying or hearing it...

control your mind

hey,just give me an email at firebolt_ax@yahoo.com i will tell u lots more how i compressed it and almost free since last christmas

that is so cool. you do that all the time?

It's OCD (obsesseive Compulsive Disorder) I wish mine was as slight as yours, imagine having to do things/own things and constantly count in even numbers, I watch my MP# player say for instance, and when it to 8 seconds I shield my eyes, or close them, or look away, yet can't help looking back, if it says 10 seconds, I panic and look away, if it says 11 seconds, I feel a little eased, because both 1'a in 11 when added, equal 2 (like, 11 = 1 1 = 2) same with the time saying 12:50am/pm, that's a great time, because (12 -1 2=3 50 = 5, and 3 5=8, the last even number before you have to start adding, 26 is a great number too) Boy, I bet I've frightened quite a few folks now, LoL.

ocd just think in your mind that you touched it already thats how i overcame this problem

I would say it is 1% percent normal as that is approximately the percentage of OCD sufferers i.e. One in every hundred people
It usually starts at ages 9 to 12. Sufferers tend to be able to control OCD better as they get older
Stress often makes it worse
I have had OCD since I was nine years old and it is a real nuisance.
