I'm sure I do. I know I have it. Certain. Hold on, let me check. BRB...
I guess that we all here have some kind of OCD since regular porn watchers see the scene of a girl getting fucked and do not care about her name and where did she appear but most of us at freeones care about an appearance in an obscure scene or collect her entire scenes.
True True.
What in particular do you do that is OCD. I take forever washing dishes. I am a perfectionist. I am always doubting that I scrubbed the leftover food off the dishes and got rid of soap bubbles but most of time it just water bubbles I am fretting about. It the same thing when I take showers. I have to time myself so that I am not overusing water, so I make washing dishes and showering into a race, and I have these intrusive thoughts about lesbians and current events like war and conflict.

I do and have for years. I do things in threes and I like to clean.
I've had OCD for years and quite frankly it has ruined my life in a lot of ways. Relationships are a b***h simply because most people don't understand OCD. Cleaning is my biggest hang up. I clean my house every single day and I can't tell you how many times I wash my hands. I never feel clean and take showers at least two times at day.
I wish OCD was talked about more often honestly because I don't believe people realize how much it can burden someones life. When I try to explain OCD to someone I always hear "oh, like Monk" which drives me crazy for some reason. Maybe because I've heard it so much? Eh well.

Become a primary caregiver for someone else and all that OCD shit will evaporate.
Yes.
I must have a different variety of captain crunch every morning.

I have it to a degree. I can't go to sleep without looking to see that my alarm is set about 5 times and I can't walk out the door without checking that my oven is off a few times, even if I know I haven't used it in days. Some other similar things as well, but it's not as crippling to me as it can be for some.
You down wit OCD? Yeah you know me!
^pay no attention to that idiot.
I've never seriously thought about it but I guess I am in certain instances. I'm not a clean freak but I am a germaphobe and probably wash my hands more than most.
This one is really odd but it definitely qualifies I think - whenever I'm playing a video game and make changes to any of the settings I always go back to it multiple times to make sure it didn't go back to default. I can't go on playing without doing this. And I also do that with the settings on my TV even though I haven't changed them in like forever.

Rest assured people: most of us are confusing OCD and OCPD (obsessive-compulsive personality disorder). Or we think we have OCD, when in fact we only have a couple of the criteria needed. Got my shrink to explain that to me. Don't worry, I'm doing alright. Haven't gone cuckoo... yet
You sure, bro?

Yep, I was diagnosed with OCD about 10 years ago.
My biggest issue with OCD is that I can't trust my own brain. I'll know full well that I just did something (like shutting a door, closing a container, adjusting something slightly) but can't convince myself not to keep checking it repeatedly anyway.
I first suspected I had it when I was around 13 because I couldn't sleep until I triple checked that the bathroom door was closed and that all my dresser drawers were exactly lined up. Things didn't always have to be clean, but they had to be in "their place" even if the placement wasn't logical.
I also find I have a really hard time with complex math because my brain gets stuck on the simplest bits.. I know the answer, but keep repeating the equation in my brain over and over anyway.
It's funny how common an obsession with the number 3 seems to be among people with OCD. I used to constantly spell words out in my head in repeated sets of 3.
Also, if I've had a long day my brain sort of shuts down at night and I can't make sense of things anymore. hah
I can't really hold a solid conversation if I've already been mentally stimulated all day, it's like my brain gets as tired as my body.
I disagree with saying everyone has it to a degree, nah. I don't think so.
It's also a bit annoying when people say "oh I'm so OCD about that!"

I was a caregiver for my grandmother for a while and it didn't get rid of my OCD. If anything it made it worse in some ways. You have to realize that OCD isn't something that just goes away... You might learn how to control it or adapt to certain situations, but its always there.... or at least it always has been with me.
Wow, Ari Dee's description of her OCD sounds almost identical to mine. I do everything she described, though I tend to be a bit more obsessed with sets of 6 rather than sets of 3.
