I think I have OCD

soooo, I think I have obsessive compulisve disorder... anyway, everytime I see some ski related product, like really really cheap bindings, I buy them. If I can get a discount on goggles, i buy them. If I see a jacket that looks sick but I can't buy, I steal it. Just the other day, I saw a pair a fugative for 200 bucks, I went and bought them, and they were way too small for me. Anyway, now I have tons and tons of gear, and not enough time to use it. Does anyone else have this problem? or do I have really bad OCD?....

sell it off. if i see a really sick deal it hurts me not to buy it, but i usualy dont. or sometimes there will be something i want, and the same thing only worse that is on sale and i will buy that...and i end up not liking it.

When ever I set a table the silver ware has to be perfectly straight. I always eat m&m's in a backwards rainbow.  I line them up on my hand with columns of colors eatthing the ones with the most first.

everyone has OCD to some extent, but for the most part, its miniscule. As said, you really love ski products. I do the same thing, but i dont buy them. You just need to say to yourself, "I dont need this." My brother makes good money working maintenance, and he BLOWS alot of it on useless crap. Get a friend you trust to hold onto your debit card. You spend alot because all you ahve to do is swipe a plastic thing. Just a bit of control will solve it all.

I have OCD, and I do dumb shit like that ^. Definately nothing like buying mad ski shit. You just have a problem with control or something of the sort. I straighten everything up and do things in a certain ritualistic fashion constantly. Anything horrible askew bugs the shit out of me.

You're not OCD your spoiled. The problem for almost anybody else would not be if you cant use them all, but how the fuck can you afford it all?

thank you   only 2.3 percente of the population actually has OCD.    It's actually a pretty serious disease- not just a habit you have.  I dont know why this bugs me, but like colorblindness and other things that make you "unique" everybody says the have it.  actually not everybody does, but way more ppl say they do but dont than should.  they WANT to have something unique about them that seperates them from the crowd.   "im colorblind", "im OCD" "im special"... you're not.  i wonder why you are so smart -streblo-? it must be genetic

I was diagnosed with it by a psychiatric doctor, and for you to bitch about people who say they have it but don't, is just stating the obvious.

i wasn't bitching at you.  i didnt specify anybody in particular at all.  I was actually bitching ath the general masses (mostly people i know who arent on NS) that are attracted to unique things like OCD.  You of all people i would think would get the most bugged by ppl who fake stuff like this for attention

In order to have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, it isn't focused on one thing. You have obsessions about multiple things, essentially everything, and you balance yourself of them through compulsions. Just food for thought. What you have is a hobby

wow this could be a fun little 3some...

I definately didnt think anyone else ate m&m's or smarties like thatr.. but wow two other people.. thats crazy.

I work at a ski shop and everything is always a mess and it drives me crazy, every one at work tells me to go and sell stuff instead of cleaning and arranging stuff all the time.

u have it for weird reasons, like if a certain number of lights is on i go crazy, and if something on a table is near the edge i have to move it or i cant think, also ambient noises freak me out to an extent where i have to wash them out of my head. Also i get freakishly weird when things get crazy in the front seat of my car, the radio must be on the same volume and everything must be stored in the right place and then i cant turn on the car, also everytime before i get in i have to purel my hands and then the steering wheel cuz i keep my hands on it for so long, i also get it really bad on the freeway if i can see someones car in the corner of my eye i focus on it and i cant let it go and i need to get away and its kina scary at times

What Bp is sayin is the stuff that bugs me the most, when something bothers me so much or controls me too much that I can't function or do the things I want to do.

As for up there with that guy, I don't really care about them, I've gotten over the shit other people do because it's way too aggrivating, but regardless, I was just ticked for some reason, my bad and sorry dude. I don't mean to be a prick.

i think i got a mild case. when im home i always check to make sure the doors are closed. i dont just check them once. i'll like pull on it to make sure its closed, then push on it, then pull on it. take like 4 steps away, then go back and check it again. most of the door handles in my house are loose from doing that, so i gotta screw thm back in every once in a while

i was watching some show with a guy that hd extreme ocd and that was one of the things he did. he does it for onger, but still.

I can't focus on my homework unless my room is clean, but that is just an oddity. Something i have worked past: i could only ever put the volume on numbers that end with 5 or 0, but i kicked that habit in favor of even numbers, then i eradicated it completely. I've been clean for about 3 months
