Fruitless,

My doctor explained OCD to me this way: Are you compelled to do certain things? Do they interfer with your life? What is your reaction if you are not able to do these things?

I've never heard that you sleep better with socks on, I could not do it myself. My husband cannot have anthing covering his feet while he's sleeping.

One of my things is the route we take to go somewhere. If we do not take "my" route, I'm really annoyed, anxious and irritated. Even when its beyond my control, such as road construction. And once we arrive at our destination, I can't just shake off the fact we took another route, I'm still unbearable.

Do discuss this with someone, even if you don't have OCD it'll make you feel better.
