    I'm concious of avoiding cracks on pavements whilst walking and I check my pockets regularly to make sure I have my phone and wallet.

    Also, does anyone else have a fear of someone reaching out and grabbing your ankles when you're standing near a bed?

    I thought I was alone! I'm sure that must have been in a film I watched as a child.

    That's not OCD, it's checking to see if some ballbag has pickpocketed you.


    The bed thing is probably from watching too many b-movie horrors from the '80s!

    Yes, but what's worse is if you put your leg off the side of the bed in your sleep! Then they're really gonna getcha.

    If you really had OCD, you'd post the same message a nice round numer of times, preferably ten, then wipe your hands, then the keyboard, and then go through everyone elses' replies correcting their grammatical and spelling errors. Then wipe your hands again. Then the computer.

    I know- I watch Monk!:pac:

    I'm pretty sure he was going for OCD type behaviour as opposed to actual OCD.

    Either way I'm a hooer for it when I'm stressed, getting out of the shower multiple times to check the door is locked and that sort of thing.

    I think everyone has it a little bit.

    Go find €50 and talk to your GP

    You clearly don't know what OCD is

    There are many different types of OCD e.g checking, sexual, cleanliness, aggresive, however you seem to just have certain tendencies that you follow ritualistically (such as not stepping on cracks). I suffer from OCD related to counting, hoarding, repeating and symmetry and have for many years. Unless your problems drastically escalate you've nothing to worry about. Many people experience some form of obsessive or compulsive tendencies at some point in their lives.
