Hi, I have OCD too.. have had it most of my life actually along with bipolar disorder.

I dont take anything for it now since most antidepressents make me manicy.. I just deal with it as it comes and goes. Im moderately impaired by mine..

I have rituals and thinking OCD..

Some of my rituals include..
Fixing my hair and making sure its right and feels just right.. I usually go into the bathroom and look a ton of times after Im finished to make sure and to make sure everything overall is ok

I have indecisivensess about dressing.. Something has to be just right with no wrinkles or dirt on it.. It takes me a lot of time in the morning to pick something out to wear.. sometimes it takes like 3 hours since Im doing it over and over and it has to feel just right on me as well. I buy febreze too and have to spray it on my clothes usually before I leave somewhere..

Sometimes I have to say or write certain words over and over again too for no apparent reason or I have to sigh or swallow a few times until I feel comfortable and right.

I have a lot of obsessive thoughts too..

Fear of being responsible for every conflict that goes on in my life or negative event

Fear of doing embarrassing things (walking out n*k*d)

Thinking I have another illness or disease

A lot of horrific images of people suffering

Fear of touching others

Fear of saying the wrong thing or not saying it the correct way

Doubting everything over and over again

I used to have the compulsion when I was little to stand at the bottom of my stairs at night and count loudly to 1,000 and back.. I just had to do it to feel ok inside.. my parents were driven nuts by it..

Those are just some of my examples.

It sucks.. but I deal with it.. thats all I can do.

Gabby I know what you mean by the Lazy Susan thought.. My mind is totally the same way when it comes to that.

Thanks for the thread by the way as well. I didnt see any until I saw this one on OCD.. At least I know Im not alone..
