I saw Roger bumped the old Anxiety Disorder thread.
I have had OCD for 25+ years, just didn't know it was "OCD" back then.
Started out where I had to balance things out. If I touched something with my right hand I had to touch it exactly the same way with my left hand.
If I was driving down the street and the car had a bump on the left tire, I had to find a bump in the road for the right tire.
I also bit my nails constantly, I won't go into my worst ever OCD habits
I was able to stop some of these like the balancing out thing by just going and touching something so many times there was no way I could ever balance it out.
I would also push myself to go as far as I could without chewing my nails. I created kind of another habit for that, I would see how long I could grow them...before long I would have these ungodly long nails.
Right now I'm dealing with one that just drives me freaking nuts.
I only pick at the nail on my left middle finger. Every other finger the nail is fine.
The left middle one has not had a chance to grow in months because I'm constantly picking at it. In fact I'm constantly dealing with irritation, and infections because I rip it down to the skin.
I think I'm going to have to get some tape or something and just bound that poor finger.
Okay I spilled it what's your OCD?
