OCD- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
My husband has OCD, I feel bad for him because it makes his neck twitch sometimes, and it hurts. He has to re-arrange things a lot through out the day. We work on it together though, and I give him massages to help. He hasn't always been this way, but it's been like that since before I met him.
I find it cute sometimes. Do you live with someone who has OCD? How bad is it? What do you do, if anything, to help them through? |
I have OCD with numbers, which is that I have an irrational hatred and paranoia of odd numbers. For instance, when I eat I have to chew an even amount of time per side before I can swallow. I cannot sit in areas labeled with an odd number nor can I be an odd number when numbering off for something. The best thing people can do is not tease me about it with negative connotation, and just accept the fact that I'm different. :)

I have CDO with pretty much everything. When I start cleaning I clean from 6 in the morning to 12 at night. Everything has to be in certain orders. Nothing can be out of place or I freak out. I have even, sitting in the doctors office, rearranged the vases, straighted the chairs, made the rugs even with the lines on the floor. My books have to be put in alphabetical order, but by size and thickness also. If I make decorations, or i'm drawing I can't mess up or it gets dicarded and I start all over. Like for an instance, I was drawing a dragon, almost finished it, and I accidentally drew a line through one the scales. It messed it up so I disgarded it and started over. I can't have wrinkles in my clothes, sheets, or blankets. I take hours makeing my bed, or getting ready in the morning. There is alot more but it will take to much time to type. There isn't really much you can do for someone with CDO. Well from what I know of anyways.

---------- Kookie: Yeah my husband is a lot like that too. He re-arranges stuff a lot. I feel bad for him because he himself hates having to be like that. D: I do my best to help him though, I've memorized how he likes things arranged so I can have it nice for him X3 |
Thats good that you try helping him out. And yeah it does get hard, because if I see anything out of order I stop what im doing just to fix it.

I have OCD with numbers, also. They have to be either 1, 3, or a multiple of five, and I rather the multiple of five ends in a five, rather than a zero. I also have problems being around other people as they type. If they type slow or incorrectly I freak out and push their hands away and start typing for them. When I do my mascara, I have to right to left, and I have to have a freshly dipped wand for the top eyelashes, and once I've done them I cannot dip the wand again until I do the bottom. I've got a lot of weird little ones.
I find it cute that you find it cute, sometimes. If that doesn't sound too odd. |
I think I have a little bit of OCD. I can not, and will not, leave the house until I am satisfied that every light, door, faucet, etc is turned off/closed or certain things are unplugged. If I find one thing that I missed, I *have* to go back five, six times to make sure everything else is okay.
It sometimes takes me fifteen minutes to get out the door. On most days I only do this once or twice, maybe three times at the most, but some days I will go around ten times around the house before I'm comfortable getting out the door. |
Sometimes I wonder if I am OCD about my ears. I constantly have to keep them clean inside if they feel the slightest bit full of wax. I also have to use both sides of the Q-tip and I have to use an even amount of them. If I don't I feel like my ears are still dirty and itchy.
