OCD's

[BertiWooster]

Carrying on from the question below about phobias .

Do you suffer from OCD's - mild / moderate / major ?

I always have to make sure the volume on the TV is on an even number and I have to tap a can of drink 3 times before I open it.

LOL - this thread could be interesting ( albeit a serious problem for some people , granted )

[ladybird49]

Yes, everyone has a bit of it in them , im with milly on the volume number , got to be even : )

[BertiWooster]

// LOL - this thread could be interesting ...//

Seriously , I didn't mean to give the impression that it's a laughing matter - some OCD's can be a serious problem for people , which can ruin their daily lives .

It just made me smile - the tapping the can of drink - which I would consider to be a very very mild form - there again i'm of course not you , and it may be a big issue with you , milly 143 .

[milly143]

Nah, I don't care. It's not an issue for me. Don't even notice I do it most of the time until someone asks me why I have tapped it. My niece once brought me a can of coke and made the mistake mistake of thinking it would be good if she tapped it for me. I couldn't drink after that. ha ha. Think I am just a tad bit mental but some people do have really serious problems with OCD's.

I get antsy if someone opens a bag of crisps upside down and the laundry has to be hung out a certain way (read 'my way') but otherwise I'm pretty mild on the OCD front.

[milly143]

Ooohh I have the crisp packet thing too. It should be opended from the top. Saying that, if it was a bag of Flamin Hot Monster Munch I suspect I could see past the wrong end being opened. :o)

zzxxee - Licking his phone? Now that is weird!

[BertiWooster]

// I get antsy if someone opens a bag of crisps upside down....//

China Doll - for a brief second there - I thought you meant holding the crisp packet up and opening it from the bottom .

[BertiWooster]

Actually - re the bag of crisps thing .

I cant remember opening a bag of crisps , the wrong way round - i dont conciously think about it , when opening it - it just gets opened automatically , the ' correct ' way round .

Isn't that the case with 99.9% of people opening a bag of crisps ?

I'm constantly washing my hands and its not good when you've got dermatitus.

[milly143]

ooohh poor you Tigger. I used to suffer contact dermititas and the worst thing was washing my hands. Feel for you, it's horrible!

[tiggerblue10]

It is horrible Milly. It gets worse during the winter and no matter how much cream you put on it doesn't do much to combat it. I've got little cuts all over my hands. I try to use gloves when I'm washing up though.
