I've had OCD for as long as i can remember and its the best and the worst thing thats ever happened to me, it may sound weird but its true. I count everything. When i did my GCSEs at school i couldn't start the test until i had counted every tile on the ceiling and when i walk i walk in steps of three. When i was younger i had obsessions with doing things in even numbers, mainly twos.
I also have an obsession with maggpies, the one for sorrow two for joy thing, i get realy worked up about it and i'v noticed that i also count things that i eat. If i have a bowl of cereal i have to count every little piece and make sure that i eat a multiple of three. It realy irritates me but deep down inside i don't think i want to get help because i sort of enjoy it sometimes, especialy if i see two maggpies, it gives me little lifts to get through the day . . .
I just wanted to tell someone thats all
