Front right pocket is keys, front left phone and back right wallet.

Dont know if this is OCD but I use a credit card for almost all purchases even if I have the cash on me because i absolutely hate carrying around change.

recheck my alarm clock before going to sleep. I'll still end up waking myself up early and checking the time to make sure I haven't overslept.

Will pat myself down every now and then to make sure I still have my keys/wallet etc. Will do this more often in crowded public places and in major cities.

Same here. A problem arises if I'm going out drinking or a while at the casino where I'll probably bring cigarettes. Then my front right gets cluttered with a pack of cigarettes AND my keys. Gets even worse if I pay for something and get change cause I won't put change in my phone pocket cause I don't want to scratch it up.

If I'm going to the shop with slightly over or the exact amount of change I need to buy something I'll constantly check and re-check on the way that I have enough.

The back pocket is exactly where a pickpocket wants your wallet.

Left pocket is cagarettes/Lighter, right pocket is phone, back left is wallet, back right is keys. Every Day of my life.

My blinker signal. If I accidentally hit it and I see it flash green I have to hit it in the opposite direction. If I hold it too long I have to go left again and right again until it feels even.

constantly touch my wallet and phone through my pants to make sure they're still there

Check my pockets/backpack for keys three times before I lock the car door when going skiing or mountain biking.

wallet and phone. sure. we believe you.

The next step is having to remember their names. It's absolutely brutal.

Keys in the back pocket thing blows my mind. Is this common? Seems very uncomfortable when sitting.

- In the morning I have to watch the last episode of prison break first and the first last.

I eat my food by portions; once I start on something, I don't move onto the next portion until last portion is gone. exception is if one of these portions is terrible.

I'm not so sure that most itt know what the O or C stand for. I mean, I know we're not looking for D, so you gotta give us something of relevance.

Oh, right, wanted to add: what happens when you don't do what you said you do itt?

wow, I'm there already. On an episode of come dine with me (5 people cook for each other on different nights - a cult brit show) I can't continue watching until I know all five first names and surnames without looking. it is so strange as I'm don't do anything else like that and it is only while watching TV/Films.

Every time I hear Rihanna's voice I have to sprint across the room and slam the radio off.

So that's like actually OCD.

I have a habit of tapping my finger sometimes. Every once in a while, I realize that the way I normally tap my fingers (1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 5 etc) hits my pinky and thumb less often than the rest of my fingers. This bothers me for some reason, so sometimes I force myself to tap only pinky and thumb to even **** out, even though it seems unnatural to me.

Haha, I feel compelled to break the radio there, getting expensive.

Yeah... I have that to some extent.

What really bothers me is that sometimes I'll just like think of a face (like maybe I see someone who reminds me of someone else or something) and I just absolutely cannot remember where the **** I know that face from. Can't remember if it's someone I actually used to know or a celebrity or what. It drives me ****ing nuts and there's no way to get over it since I'm not female and therefore suck at describing faces to other people.

I do this WAY to much, even more if they're in my coat pocket or something and I can't feel them on me, like once every 30 seconds 0.0 I should really cut that **** out.

I add up letters on tv(titles, ads, news headlines, etc.) and signs I see. I always want them to equal a power of 2 (8,16,32....), if it's 1 or 2 off, I'll count the dot on the 'i' to get to 32.

I went through a long phase where I'd read stuff backwards when my mind was idle. Haven't done it in awhile though.

When I am a passenger in a vehicle I will point my index finger up when there is a curb and when it slopes down I will reset my finger position when the curb is elevated again my finger goes up.



This would result in a quick updown motion.

Since it is my only obsessive compulsive symptom currently, I feel it is a one off which my brain has subconsciously adopted. I think I could beat it but then so does everyone .

I used to look after a child for two years (seen in this thread http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/34...g-ideas-80256/ soon to be updated with a major success story) and he had OCD for yellow. Everything was yellow - pencil case, underpants (yes he showed them off), schoolbag, bananas (well they have to be, but he loved em), etc etc. He lived in a world of yellow which when you think about it, doesn't really harm anyone. It is more the action of wanting/demanding/expecting everything to be yellow which was the problem. All fixed now, I bumped into him the other day (I left to work in gambling some time ago) and asked him about the yellow 'thing' - he said he wanted a change and didn't really care anymore
