I seriously do this... everyday
I need to see a doctor

I check to make sure my alarm clock is on everytime I wake up in the middle of the night, which is about 7-10 times a night.

I can't be in a room without the door being shut, and locked. If I am in any one room long enough, I have to occasionally check the door to see if it is opened/unlocked.

Open spaces freak me out. But on the other hand, so do enclosed spaces.

I always have hand sanitizer with me, and I constantly use it. I can't drink after anyone else, I begin to feel extremely uncomfortable when people I don't know are too close to me.

One thing that really freaks me out, are those places in pet shops where all the aquariums are at. *shudder*

when i take off my socks before i go to bed i have to throw the right one first, then the left one to the left of it, and parrallel to it.

i talk to myself very very much

i can't stop eating butter. i eat like two sticks a day... just a big lump of butter on whatever i'm eating. even fruit. butter on fruit.. oh man.

but seriously?
Umm no but i hate soggy cereal, so i put milk in first and add a little bit of cereal at a time til i'm full.

I'm not sure if this qualifies, but I basically have to have some white noise in the back_ground when I sleep. Be it a heater, or a fan, or the washer, it doesn't matter. But I really, really, have trouble sleeping in absolute silence.

If I can't find something, even if it is not important, i will look for it for hours and drive myself insane. i used to be obssesive about knowing what time it was, but I got over that after my watch broke.

I do that too.

And I have to have the tv on when I sleep...and it has to be on MSNBC, CNN, or ABC World News Tonight.

Ever since my father passed away, I always check to make sure the doors are locked.. also I have to make sure that the shower curtain is closed.. whether I'm in it or not.. *shrugs*

pulling out strands of hair. very selectively. like if it has a split end, i'll bite it off or pull out the hair. or if it's a really coarse hair, i'll pull it out right away. but never more than one strand at a time. it was pretty bad when i was 14, it's not so bad now but i can still do it. :-/

Coming to this web-page is by far the biggest compulsive problem I've got.

I swear, as soon as I crank up internet explorer, I idly sit for a second and turn on AIM or whatever, then this page is always surfed first. It's like I can't take care of other business unless I go here. It's odd, but I don't dislike it. =P

It didn't materialize into my mind until just now...but I'm the exact same way!

ditto

try to connect with people online the second i get in front of a computer. Even if i am around people http://www.netphoria.org/wwwboard/frown.gif

i used to do that in grade school. it got so bad that after finding a pile of hair next to my desk my teacher called my mother and i had to go see a shrink for the first time. and eh. i shower 4-5 times a day. and i wash my hands about every 30 minutes. and i have a hard time eating food that was not prepared by me. when i was a kid i thought that my parents were poisoning me. i hate crowds and am prone to uncontrollable violent or obscene outbursts when forced into those types of situations.

i forgot about that. i'm the complete opposite, i will not use a washroom with a closed shower curtain. i think i have some irrational fear of not checking any place large enough to hold a person.

I have my dresser in my closet, and my mattress rests on my floor because of this.

Uhh... I think I only fall asleep on my right side, but I have to lie on my left side for a bit before I can fall asleep. At least, that just seems to be how it works out. That's pretty much it. Unless you count imagining how a beam of light would reflect around a room, if every surface were mirrored - I seem to do that a lot.

i dont really do anything like that, although i have to look at my phone every time i walk in or out of my room.
oh and i have to have my cupboard doors shut before i can sleep.

Make sure the Hotline light isn't flashing, huh?

I have to lay on my stomach.. then my right side.. and then I finally fall asleep on my left.. I can't fall asleep if I don't.

I have to sleep on my back, and only on my back. If I am in any other position I tend to think that there is someone directly where I can't see.

I don't do that but when I'm in a fast-moving car, I imagine holding a huge chainsaw and hacking down everything at arm's-level (trees, telephone poles, sings, houses) as I pass it.

me too.

When I pick a glass to drink from I have to touch them all to see which gives the better feeling, When I go to bed I have to do everything in order and touch the wall in certain places,


and when I put away stock I often put it in the wrong place becasue it doesn't feel right in the right place

ect ect

Silly child, boys don't cry

I also brush my teeth 6 or so times a day. I hate the feeling of "dirty" teeth.

same. there a million cups all the same. but ill pick one up and put it back because it feels "wrong". till i find one. i find alot of you have systematic kind of things. its all about feel for me. id do something without a care one day, then id spend 15 mins on the next day to get it to feel "right".

maybe your just fishing for somekind of reaction here, but thats a pretty ignorant comment. its all about the "stupid shit", sure, but it has deep pyschological meanings. noones a perfect human archeotype with no subconscious needs or deficiencies, just like you arent. if mine or theirs happen to take the form of washing hands, or aligning socks thats as completely valid as you getting some kind of freaky malaligned ego-high from your "awsome", dehumanizing job you brag so much about. i mean, there is a time where it pases the point of being something natural and required, to something just illogical that should be permanetly fixed, rather than temporarily appeased, but i dont think your in the/a position to make that call.

There is a huge difference between extremely compulsive behavior, and, as you call it, "ego-high."

When it comes down to it, it is a matter of willpower. The next time that you are sitting in your bed, and feel the "need" to get up to check the locks a tenth time, don't. Seriously, try a little bit harder.

hey, i agree with that. like i said before, there is a point where it passes being healthy and fair, to something that simply takes away from your quality of life, instead of adding to it. the point was, that everybody has something like this. to different degrees and in different ways, sure, but we're all in the same boat here. i agree, whoever said they have 5 showers a day, that just isnt a healthy tendency and should be changed. it all depends on how far someone takes it

ALL compulsive behavior is not healthy. Honestly, what good can come from "needing" to touch certain spots on your wall/floor/mom, or needing to have everything at right angles in your room? It's completely ridiculous.

The only thing that could be considered an obsession is this. My alarm clock has to be set to a time where a) the time must end with a 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 and b) the sum of the numbers is divisable by 9. I can't set my clock for 6.15. That drives me nuts. It has to be set to 6.12, an even number divisable by 9.

I also get an awesome satisfaction out of the time being 7.38.

I used to have other compulsions where I had to turn everything on and off in 3's. If the light was on and I wanted it off, i would turn it off, on and off again, but I grew out of that.
