I was diagnosed with mild OCD in college. It's a mental disorder where I feel the need to check things repeatedly, perform certain routines or rituals repeatedly, or have certain thoughts repeatedly.
I have heard of it. It is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder right? Do you think it impacts your life?
Yes. I do a lot of hand washing, counting of things, and checking to see if a door is locked.
OK. I guess you have to adapt to it. I wonder if there is medication to help for severe cases?
I'm not sure. My rituals often take up more than an hour a day.
OK. Do you find that some days are worse than others or is it pretty constant?
Pretty consistent. I realize that the behaviors do not make sense.
I had a thing when I was younger about not stepping on cracks in a sidewalk. It doesn't bother me now though. I hope you are able to lead a normal life.
