i am fed up of repeating the same things over and over again. i feel as though if i dont repeat them or i have done them wrong something will go wrong and affect me. I now check eveything 10x, i do things at certain time of the day, repeat things if go wrong, sort things so in line, arrange things in alphabetical order and make sure things go back in orgianl place. it has got so bad now that cd and games go back in case in an exact way and i always make sure the all face the same way.
I need help becuase i want these things and feeling to stop !!!!
Just wanted to say that I can relate and that we are all here to support you.
Thanks but dont no how to change
I do the same thing which drives my wife crazy. I like things in our home a certain way. I need things in a proper way and if they are not proper then I change them. I constantly (about 10 times) make sure our home is safe (locked). I certainly feel for you. I find that naps or listening to soothing instrumental music helps. Sometimes I will try and think or do something else if I find I having trouble with my OCD.
my dear frnd,dont get upset!first upon i want to congragulate you that you understood waht is killing to you?
because yhese repetations not only give tension to us but also it is hard to tell someone about exactly what happens to us!
yes i have also ocd..
and as you mensioned that if i did not repeat some things then some danger would occur..
it starts from little things and then slowly it get converted in to daily routine..
but dont afrid we have to get out from this!
dont feel alone...
i am with you
