What do you think about OCD.  the mental disorder where people feel the need to check things repeatedly
I think it would be an unfortunate disorder to have, and I feel sorry for those who have it.
My husband has it to a small degree he has to check his car doors repeatedly and then when he goes out to take out the trash he does it again.  he also washes his hands alot
I'm glad he doesn't have it too badly. It seems like something that could really keep you from getting things done and would get in the way of life.
Yes, their routines and rituals can definetly get in the way of normal life when they have certain thoughts and feelings repeatedly
Does it bother you at all when your husband has to go through his routines?
Sometimes I have to be careful not to get aggravated by how long it can take.  He also has a hard time not throwing things out which is a common problem as well.
Huh, I didn't know not being able to throw out things was a part of it. That seems like it could be hard to deal with.
