So go figure. I did meet this person at Starbucks a couple days ago and she shook my hand twice. Each time I immediately excused myself and went and washed my hands.

Oh yeah- I crack my knuckles obsessively and my neck and back. I HAVE to do it.

I count too. Every day. I have to feel satisfied with my counting before I can stop or I feel panicked. I also count categories of things like colors, patterns, shapes, words/letters, sounds and other things. My dr upped my citalopram (celexa) and it’s gotten easier to deal with. I’ve done it since I was a kid developing anxiety
