I watched this show on MTV, I think it was a True Life show on people with OCD. Very hardcore people with it too. It would take one guy like 20 to 30 minutes just to lock his front door to leave.

Ok, I would guess that most of us here do it a little way in some way or fashion. Besides cigars and such, what do you find yourself OCDing about? Stuff around the house? What are you really anal about and what made you get that way? Car being cleaned constantly??? Shirt having to be ironed a certain way??? :dunno:

For myself,,,,, I would say that I am/have become anal about keeping my house clean. Now I don't vacuum every other day or dust every square inch. I guess that comes from a time in my life when I was married to someone who didn't care and it drove me nuts. :closedmou I also OCD about getting the laundry out of the dryer ASAP!!! Don't know why on that one but I do. I probably have some other but can't think of them right now.

Lucky for me (rolling eyes at myself) OCD is in the same neurological family as Tourettes so I do have a tiny bit but nothing like you see on TV. If a pen has a removable cap I have to line up the tab with lettering on the pen. If I don't, or can't, I get all anxious. I have been able to quash one habit though, when I walk by the towel cabinet in the bathroom I'm not as likely as I used to be to make sure the towels are all folded the same way and are stacked according to color.

I'm so screwed up!!!!!

Same here...I might be picky about some things, but never get anxious if they don't go my way.
