Do you have OCD?

[Debbie]

I was reading a parenting forum recently and a parent insisted their child must have OCD because the child is a fussy eater. People started chiming in saying they have OCD with different explanations of their symptoms, repetitive habits and for most of them their own self diagnosis.

we used to call ocd, discipline.

 

[fluffPE]

I have no such thing. Why are you accusing me of this, huh? huh?

So standing in the corner for a time out for the fussy eaters?

I diagnose you with ADD.

Thanks for the laugh.

I have CDO, it's like OCD.
But the letters are in alphabetical order LIKE THEY SHOULD BE!

 

[cdnchemgirl]

yes... I can't have odd numbers in my world... the television volume especially.

The sunglasses make you. Gorgeous!

I don't think of myself as having OCD, but I do have an OCDish kind of quirk. If I spin around and around, six or seven (pick a number, any number) times, I have to "unspin" around and around the same number of times or my body feels weird.

 

[pointless]

nope. my weirdness takes other forms.

 

[rimmy]

I thought I was the only one who did that.

I have NCTDA disorder.

No compulsion to do anything. In the past, this was usually dismissed as laziness, but now that I have an acronym, people have to lay off and stop bugging me.

Then I have SUS (Spin-Unspin Syndrome). I'm so relieved to have a diagnosis at last.

No

I sneeze in odd numbers.

I think "being anal" about some things is probably 'OCD-lite', and I prefer to think of myself as the former.

I don't walk out of the house and then spend the rest of the day wondering if the towels in the bathroom are stacked perfectly at the corners, but I do like the dish-rag on a specific place on the kitchen counter so that I don't have to waste time hunting for it.

Or putting in my calendar when I need to change the head for my electric toothbrush next instead of having to remember a specific date or guesstimate.

Just makes my life a little bit easier. The real challenge is have others respect - ideally abide - by these quirks of mine.

If you were me, the next time you do that you'll have to turn around the other way.

My OCD,,,,Say hello to sigh whenever I spy her!

 

[warrior queen]

Yes.
I wash my hands excessively. I cannot use a towel or teatowel twice. Can't wear clothes twice.
I shower 3 times a day, changing clothes and towels each time.
I change my pillowslips and sheets daily and when I make the bed it MUST be wrinkle-free.
I sweep and vaccuum daily.
There's a whole lot of other things as well, but listing them would take time and I have to go wash dishes and do laundry before work

Where do you find time to have hours of anal sex?

 

[sigh]

Where do you find time to have hours of anal sex?

Not to mention the three enemas required before proceeding.

I was telling a coworker that I had to cross the train tracks 5 times before I got home and she thought I meant I drive forward, drive backward, drive forward, drive backward and then finally drive forward.

That is NOT what I meant but now every time I go home I think about doing that.

No, I do not have OCD. I like my office space to be in order or I can't work but that's more being controlling than anything.
