OCD for me is definitely involving the compulsive part. I'm compelled to do things based on obsessions I have. For example, I count how many drinks I take (it has to be 6 drinks or 10) because of the feeling that if I don't, it'll be bad luck. I do like order, too. I constantly feel the need to pray to any special powers there are out there to keep myself from getting hurt, because I obsess that certain things will cause me pain (even though I know that this is really odd and something I probably shouldn't do). I'm constantly trying to align things and make things look perfect... I also need order and things have to stay the same. Routine, you could say.

I'm really curious to know how OCD affects others, as I have never met anyone else who has OCD. At least, to the degree that I do. I understand it's different for all, so I'm curious, if you don't mind sharing, how is it for you?
