Quote HistoryQuoted: Best way to un-OCD yourself is to marry a gal who is the complete opposite of OCD, live with her for 25 years, and procreate and spawn 4 kids that are just like her in that aspect. Eventually you will get to where you just don’t give AF anymore. I promise. I'm actually not far from that. My awesome girlfriend of almost a year is kinda a slob, as are her kids and even her parents. I take better care of them than they do. |

If I don't load a vehicle perfectly centered on my truck I'll pull it off and redo it.

When I serve an omelette, I orient it on the plate to match the phase of the moon.
(Full moon is a smiley face. New moon is a frown.) |

Things like this aren’t OCD, that is just perfectionism or neuroticism. OCD is when you check to make sure all the screws are in the correct orientation a dozen times per day. And you wake up in the middle of the night and have to make sure. And you leave work early to go home to check to make sure. When you are constantly agonizing about whether the screws are correct. That is OCD. |

When in a restaurant I always take the seat at the table that faces the door. Having my back to the door has felt "odd" ever since I was a small child.
Probably due to seeing a reenactment at Deadwood, SD as a kid.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I was just going to post something on this topic. I always alternate picking eggs from the carton such that the center of gravity remains in the center. I do that, too, but it’s more of a safety issue than an OCD issue. I once picked up an egg carton where the eggs were missing on one side. I misjudged the weight distribution and dropped the carton, breaking the remaining eggs. Now I make sure it’s balanced. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Actually, not necessarily. You can exhibit traits and behavior from OCD without it being diagnosed as a mental disorder.

I have suffered with mild to moderate OCD most of my life.
I recently went for a check up and my Doctor perscribed a Anexiety medicine. It's not a super cure, but it seems to be taking the "Edge" off of it. I'm saying this in hopes it might be of help to other people out there. Talk to your Doctor. |

I'm making fun of myself about the switches. My girlfriend saw me walk across the kitchen, turn a light on, then go to the other side of the kitchen and turn the light off. She looked at me for a couple seconds and realized what I did. She just shook her head at me. There are worse aspects to my OCD.

Same boat. Been pondering for years if she will improve her ways when our two kids become teenagers or move out, but losing hope as time goes on. I just try to focus on my own spaces within the house such as my closet, my car, or the garage, and ignore the rest. |
