Is that even possible?

I was talking on the phone with my Mother today about how mental disorders run so rampant in our family. And she let slip a detail about my childhood that I never knew about! Evidently when I was as young as two, I would obsessively organize my toybox & have to set things while I was playing with them just so. And if my little sister tripped or messed up my organizing, I would smack her & have to start all over again. : /

Is this normal? Is this even possible? I didn't think OCD was possible as young as that!

Bump!

i've seen little ones be very particular about their toys, but never their toybox. i think any disorder that can have a genetic tie can start at earliest comprehension.. idk tho. not a t or anything

Thanks Alex! I hope you & everyone else are doing well. : )

Hopefully my T will be able to help me with that, or maybe someone else on the forums... That's just so genuinely strange. Hahahah

Oh, Shayatanica, my heart to you for having OCD from this early age... I'm not a therapist, but I feel it's possible, 'cause I also had OCD since as young as I can ever remember, that I can't even get to the starting point

My parents used to tell me things of my very early childhood (first 5 years of my life) that sound really strange. Like I used to lay on the bed in a certain position, then begin to sing all the children songs we used to sing in KG in a certain order, & if I stumble or say any song-word in a wrong way, I force myself to repeat not only this song, but the whole songs order from the very beginning, & I used to scream from frustration when I had to do that Now imagine having that when you're just coming out of babyhood

Thank you so much for your response!! Yeah, I was really weird as a little kid... Haha. It's interesting to see that someone else had it really young too! : )

I started pulling out my eyelashses around the age of 3 or so. That's a very early manifestation of trichotillomania. So yeah, it's possible.
