For a while if I turned around (360 degress) I had to turn back the other way the same amount to "unwind".
I used to get worried when I went on long car journies as I did not kn ow how many rotations we would make.

who doesn't?
i was diagnosed ocd when i was eight, but my behaviours were deemed not severe enough to warrant medication.
a lot of diagnoses like mine are throwaway, i think. a huge percentage of the population presents mild obsessive behaviours. part of the human condition, to a certain extent, i think.
there are people out there, however, who present with really really horrendous, unlivable behaviours and must take medication to combat them throughout their lives.

OCD+sociopathy. think locally - act globally.

For over 6 years now, I've had no choice but to wake up every week day at 7am and go to work. Every day. I can't stop myself - it's like it's hard-wired somewhere I can't reach. In recent years though I got to talking with some friends about it and we decided that I should try this stuff "alcohol". After taking the alcohol, I can break the loop and sleep till mid day without even thinking about going to work. I still wake up and panic eventually, but there's no compulsion to do anything about it. Trouble is, as soon as I stop taking the medicine the effect wears off and I find myself back in the loop....

whenever I see random strangers I dont like, I have an uncontrollabe urge to kill them, or at least cut them badly.

- vespa0
yea right rasko, but as soon as the stranger starts talking to you, you'd be debilitated by a frenzied bout of pre-emptive syllabic buttcheek clenching! or have you managed to work through that now?

if you can imagine a hybrid of alfred hitchcock's psycho and march of the penguins, that is basically me stabbing people on oxford street.

Only a tourist fool ventures on to Oxford Street at Christmas time.

I have to listen to Lisa Stansfield at least twice a week.
Snap on the wallet in the right back pocket, although that is more of a habit and prefference than an obsession.
I aslo type and delete every post three times before I hit broadcast.

I have a weird compulsion to remove my finger prints from anything i may of touched in public, just last week my gf found me wiping my sticky prints of a dvd i was about to return.....
I have no idea what i think someones gonna do with my prints, perhaps frame me for murder. If that happended though I could just go ahead after my aquital and launch my fictionary account "how i did it" then kick back and retire

Well, considering the fact that I have an acute aversion to anything that I own that is not symmetrical, I think I may out-do many of your OCD claims, gentlemen...
Essentially, I find myself consistently lining things up on tebles, walls, worktops, in wardrobes, in drawers etc. etc.
Things need to be put in their right place even down as far as what goes into my trouser pockets - wallet & house keys in my left front pocket; receipts in back left pocket; gum & change & cell phone in front right pocket; iPod in back left pocket... and that is every day for as far back as I can remember...
So, my OCD has now made it into my design work & I have recently bought myself a web domain... have yet to put up the site but am working on it...

I fear it is too late for me...

I think discussing current OCD 'habits' among other OCD suffers could be a bad thing – we are only going to get ideas and therefore make ourselves worse...
You got me thinking about the fingerprint thing now... dammit.

yeah but what i am really scared of is leaving my dna around...what if someone cloned me!
