What Are You OCD About?

[Jerseygirl1987]

For me on my phone if their a notification I got see what it is. Or when making coffee I gotta put sugar in first.

Things gotta be where they belong and I can’t stand mess and stinky.. I like to clean my inbox and spam folder and trash 🗑.

I like to categorize my ideas so having unclassifiable content without clear category distinctions annoy me

Nothing nowadays. But when I was a kid, I had those tendencies & didn't know it. I remember having to make so many random things "equal" & I couldn't stop until I did it right. Could be something as simple as breathing out with the same amount of force.

Now if I feel any urge to do that, I don't entertain it. I try to do the exact opposite 🤣

OCD is obsessive compulsive disorder not perfectionism.


My OCD was really bad when I was 13 -17, I used to stand on one side of the wall because somehow my brain thought that if I didn’t then something bad would happen to me or my family. Or sit on one side of the car because if I didn’t then we’d end up crashing. It was a really tough time for me because it all developed when I was 12 after a traumatizing car accident that I had with my family, I developed severe ptsd anxiety and panic attacks which lead to insomnia and OCD. Thankfully I’m now recovered and don’t get OCD thoughts anymore. But it was a difficult time for me and none of my friends knew about it.

Stop using OCD as an adjective/ personality trait. It's a mental illness that many people struggle with and should be taken seriously and not minimized to the point of use as slang. You're invalidating peoples experiences.

Instead try switching to words like organized, meticulous, or particular.

Yeah, notifications need to go away as soon as I see them. I need to get rid of new e-mails as soon as I see one. If I get a burger and fries, I have to eat all the fries before I touch the burger. I know I get that one from my mom.

Counting (like when walking, especially during using stairs) and everything has to be front-facing. Like in the store I work at I HAVE to make sure the front logos of every soda and monster drink are facing out lol.

Cleanliness and odor in personal areas. And, I played soccer all my life-university too. SO for sure, well rehearsed OCD in that area..

[JakeS00]

It is an almost constant annoyance for me. I need to make sure everything is clean, notifications must be checked, and more.

Worried thought patterns. Working on growing out of this.

[Agape93]

Keeping my tools and firearms clean and in good working order.

[Freyke]

Doing one side but not the other. A simple example. I kiss you on the cheek. I'll kiss that other cheek as well lmao

[dustybiker]

Looking at pictures as I pass them. But I’ve had a lot of loss in recent years. It pulls at my old OCD.

[xxrheaxx]

cleaning. and I constantly count in my head. Every time I take a step I count. any time I do anything, I’m counting in my head. usually by 20’s and I can’t stop until I reach 100

Home organization

Everytime I rearrange my kitchen, fridge and anything in my cabinets people like to mess it up.

It really grinds my gears.

[Iron_Man]

I need trees cleared from my window so I can look out at the sky I don’t wanna feel trapped it’s a phobia I guess a light one

One time I drove by a Lowes with 5 lamps on top of each letter. The lamp above the O was slightly lower than the other letters. Annoyed the shit out of me.

[Changiis07]

Cleaning the kitchen, bathroom, my home in general

[FinneasWilson]

Everything really, It's so exhausting.
