ocd of evenness

[mollykins]

Is it possible I have OCD about things being even and in patterns?

These are some of the things I do;

# If I rub my tongue round a tooth etc, I have to do it again the other way.

# I painted stencils onto my bedroom wall, in random ways, and now two that are clsoer together than others really annoys me.

# I have to have matching socks. I have a set of white trainer socks that have three pairs of slightly different purple stripes, but I have to wear the ones that match.

# I never wear pigtails (even when i was little because one side of my head has thicker hair and it annoys me if I see it uneven.)

# I have to make sure I brush each quarter of my set of teeth for the same amount of time.

. . . it goes on, please don't make me paranoid, but have I got OCD for things being even and in a pattern?

I won't repeat what pretty much everyone else has said but thinking you have ocd is pretty insulting to true sufferers.
