2020-07-24 at 4:17 PM UTCIts been one of my biggest plights in my life. Its kind of embarassing but I know other people deal with it because I've seen it in them. I just its partially genetic to be honest because I've seen it in my dad before and I actually felt bad for him at the time because I wasn't dealing with what he was but I could see its similar to what I deal with but on different things.
I went to a therapist as a kid my parents took me too and the lady was like "weeel just don't thnk about it" but what she doesn't understand is some thoughts when you're completely not thinking about them and just being "normal" will pop into your head and put you off pretty bad.
I know actro and michael meyers have spoke about having it and I believe them, but a lot of people marginalize it because of girls saying stuff like "lol im a schizo! and so ocd, eee eeeeeee! I like my purple lipstick next to the left of my red!, I'm so silly!"
But its not like that all. It's I remember parents crying as they saw me do my rituals. I had to them or else I wouldn't feel good.
I don't really act on the impulse even though I feel compulsed but I"ll just do it my mind instead of phsycially acting on it.
Theres a level of it where you shouldn't have to give a fuck about things you can't control but at the same time you wonder could this of been something I could of controlled? where does it end and where does the moonlight begin?
I've had really bad thoughts that would last for weeks and eventually go over so I try tell myself well it was probably just like that last time but a little worse but it will be fine in the moment or during those weeks it will comeback over and over off and on until it doenst.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2020-07-24 at 4:32 PM UTCMy dad has it. It's annoying as fuck...he's obse-ssed with things like closing windows and locking the car.
If you are with him going somewhere and you leave the car he'll go back after walking 100ft and check to make sure it's locked, then he'll probably do it again 100ft later. Then when you have been gone a while he'll say something like "Damn I don't remember if I locked the car"...
Same with windows...when I was a kid he'd go around the house every evening like 3 times making sure all the windows were shut...more than once he came storming in my bedroom to check the window while I was chokin the chicken.
ETA: Now that the UK is using like 6 fucking wheely bins for their trash, one for regular trash, one for plastic, one for garden refuse, one for this that and the other etc...he's in heaven with the OCD-ness of separating stuff.
When I go to visit now I purposefully put things like a plastic bottle in the paper recycle trash container just so he'll freak out and then spend 2hrs going through them all to make sure I didn't put something I shouldn't in one of the other containers...he's convinced if a plastic bottle makes it through in the wrong container he'll get locked up for 30yrs or the world will end.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Uh oh, the actual rule is click you're feet four times.. Did you keep track of EXACTLY how many times yoy have ever clicked you're feet? If so there is still hope and just do more clicks until the total reaches a multiple of four. Repost this to save a life put it in atleast two oth3r threads.

well at least you kind of understand it and didn't get it from him, I know its really annoying, I try to keep it to myself as an adult. Because not a lot of people understand it. Like I remember when I was a kid I was HEB with my dad and some bitch let the cart just go down towards my dads truck and I caught it almost hitting it, and he was like did it hit it and I said no I caught it.. And later that night he was outside in the garage licking his finger and rubbing it against the door looking worried.. its kinda of a neurosis and i really felt bad for him because I understood it.
He would tell me if it doesn't matter don't worry about it tomorrow but thats so easy for some people to say when you feel like that. But he would ask me do you see a mark here? And I get it.. like he's seeking reassuring is a big trait that disorder that I've done but it honestly doesn't do anyone good in the long term to pander to it. which is a pretty sad thing to say / do for someone you care about.
Whats fucked up about it is I don't usually act on it but I'll think bad so hard to a memory and actually see where I was at that time so I feel comfortable not re-enacting it, so its like either way you're sub cumming to it, whether you do it physically or mentally.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

when I was a kid, In school they talked about how the mines would swallow rope with thorns as a ritual to prevent the quetzoquatal to kill the world and that freaked me out really bad, I went to the houstons astros and everytime they went up to bat I make a weird movement and a prayer in my head to make sure they would win, I went to george w bush's election day ralley and prayed he would win just because. It's kinda weird because I couldn't give a shit about george bush or the astros these days but when you're a kid it seems like its all the line.
Some people think its about being a perfectionist which its not, sure you want things to be a certain way but its to an unrealistic point like well if this happens i have to do this, but what if that last thing I did made everything worse. Pretty bad anxiety, I don't have it all time and I usally don't talk about it but its out.
those gonts howie mandel, howard hughes, and that guy summers from nickalodean had it. But yeah I can totally see it in other people while others can't.
THey even took a stool sample of me as a kid over it because they said strep could cause pandas virus or something that causes that behavior.. all I did was get made fun of by my mother for taking it up the ass lol what a bitch
like one time chzboogerz stabbed me and I got pissed not that i was stabbed but because the skin was going to grow back wrong and make me fatter be there was more loose skin now the broke it, she was like OMG WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?! -
2020-07-24 at 6:46 PM UTCAnother OCD one he has...wiping down the shower every time you shower...you have to use 2 rags, one to mop up the water drops off the tiles, bath (it's one of those in the bath ones), faucets/taps etc and then a dry rag to make sure it's completely dry...he'll then go inspect it when you come out of the shower and if you leave 1 single drop on a tile he has a fit.
It's to keep the grout/tiles etc from discoloring is his logic...but again it's taken to OCD/ridiculous levels.
You spend more fucking time cleaning up the shower than you do showering. -

well your dad is actually kinda right, like I had my bathroom tile walls redone instaed of that cheap stuff they used tavertine, (speeling?) and they sprayed something on it ( i didn't know it at the time) and now its like almost impossiple to clean it after the the protective spray wore after a year, it looks like shit and the only way I can clean it is with bleach which sucks because it makes my eyes burn and I don't have a bathroom mirror. I need to get a steam cleaner.
clorox/ bleach/ is toxic as fuck, I just use vinegar and hydrogen peroxide and baking soda but it doesn't take care of stains, I need a maid. A sexy maid. or even an un sexy one that will work on the cheap .

Anyone who thinks it's a trivial condition is low IQ. -

Bleach isn't really that toxic. It mostly decomposes into inert ingredients. Vinegar followed by peroxide is a good one -
