Welcome to Gaia! ::

I pick the skin off my lip...for some reason I can't stop b/c it never feels even. Very weird...it bugs my mom lol

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd love to know what Marching band you are in! at my school our band is better than the foot ball team... we were in the Macy's thanksgiving day parade 2010...

Another weird habit is when I'm thinking I wiggle my lips like the girl in the black and white Bewitched... only I do it really fast...

i have quite a few (don't know if this has anything to do with ocd), but.......
i compulsively shut off the computer screen when anyone comes in and i'm on it (i don't know why. i'm not looking at porn or anything)

Have you looked into the possibility that you suffer from the purely obsessive form of ocd? I dealt with for years, no tendencies and I didn't give a s**t about making things in a specific order. Just your mind likes to replay scenes of potential (or actual) social missteps over and over and over. Prevents sleep as your mind replays any little mistake, I'm 22 (turning 23 in August) and still deal with the issue but can attest that medicine is capable of helping.

Any good doctor will let you know that medicine isn't the cure, what it does is take away the symptoms and inhibitions long enough for you to get the therapy you need to get beyond the underlying issues. It's possible to do without medicine, but for the most part people need the medication because those who aren't willing to submit to use of the medicine are those who are stubborn and set in their ways enough that the therapy will have little to no effect without them getting relaxed.






Now for a few of the silly little things I do, when I play a new game where the character's history isn't set, especially games where you can name the character, I write them up like it's D&D. I give them a history, why they would come to use any skills they would in the games, and even go so far as to figure out a bit of family history if the game is open enough to allow for it. Then when I complete the game to my satisfaction, I usually get rid of everything on the character, unless I'm REALLY attached to the character but that's only happened a couple times. If I ever play the game, I have to make a new story.


Also, I hold my mouse sideways. Thumb on the left click.

I count every step I take: 2 (right), 1 (left), 2 (right), etc... while exhaling in my throat out my nose, mouth closed, always landing on my right foot to the even count.

if it's on tiles I stay in the squares, otherwise I step on cracks. my right foot ABSOLUTELY HAS TO stop on a crack on every fourth count.

~~~~~~

I have an odd number complex, especially prime numbers. I absolutely hate the number 7 above all others. I don't mind 1, 3, 5 or 9 however.

my favourite numbers are 4 and 16, because they are perfect squares.

~~~~~~~~

I blow in my cups in even counts (either 1, 2, 4, or 16) before and after picking the up, setting them down, pouring anything in them, drinking anything from them, or dumping anything ut of them.

~~~~~~

I rinse my hands after absolutely everything I do, and also after short periods of time if I feel sweaty, or if I just havn't rinsed them in a while.

~~~~~~~

I hug my pillow and think "pillow counts as blanket, blanket protect me" and count 1-2-3-4-5 in my head at random.

if I don't finish this thought consecutively whenever I remember to do it and/or start to think it, I freak out and do it again twice.

if I do it more than once (which is almost always because doing it once triggers it's repetition) I have to do it a square number of times, or else just twice.

~~~~~~~

I thuck my sumb.

~~~~~~~

I can't sleep without night terrors unless I am snuggling someone or have something to hug that I can imagine is a person.

the exception is my pillow. it is my security blanket as long as it has a certain pillowcase on it, and I hug it whenever I can, taking it almost everywhere with me (except in public... usually anyway).

I hate washing that pillowcase, because the more it absorbs my scent the more soothing it is for me. plus, I can't stand going a whole 2 hours without it. xp

~~~~~~~~

I think that's enough for now. redface I don't need to share everything with you guys.

i have an obssesion with even numbers,symytry ((i blame Death the Kid from Soul Eater)) but only with certain things, and orginization
