If you have ocd you will also have mental obsesions as well as pyhsical cumpultions.
For example I often daydream about my closest family and friends dying all at once. Not something you want on your mind all the time.
I check my wallet like 200 times a day to see if its still there. I mean I know it's there. wtf
I count to 3 in my head then touch a doornob, then open the door.
Its weird. Ocd over all is not a big deal to me. I hide my shit well. Some people can't
yeah, I'm a tad ocd myself, also diagnosed with add as a kid. If you learn to control it, it can be helpful. what's that saying... "its a gift and a curse".
I'm an absolute neatfreak, my wife, not so much. I always wash dishes twice before I put them in the dishwasher, I dry everything with a paper towel. Linen dishtowels are disgusting. Complete germiphobe. Wash my hands at least 20-30 times a day. Shower at least twice.
I think of the same tragic things sometimes although I think that's a seperate issue apart from ocd. Think about my wife crashing the car with the kids in it all the time. Being alone, falling, (I climb trees for a living). "nervousness" runs in my family. Dad and grandfather were the same way. It's weird though seems to only affect the men. My sisters fine, daughter's fine, son has it. He's only two and the poor kid spends half his time playing cleaning up after my six year old daughter, who takes after her mother
