I know that OCD (Obsessive compulsive Disorder) can be a serious illness, so I'm not making light of it. I obsess about quite a few things & I think just about everyone does, in one way or another.
Here's my list:
I have to check my alarm over & over again. I will even be almost asleep & have to check it just on more time.
I will make sure I unplugged my curling or flat iron several times, before leaving the house & after getting in the car, I will even sometimes, go back in & check it & there have been times, I have even turned the car around.
When I go to bed, I lay there & read every night, I will get up & pee every 20 minutes or so, because I want to make sure I won't have to get up in the middle of the night. I will even do this before I leave the house.
I powder my nose & gloss my lips several times before I get some where.
If I scratch one hand, I have to scratch the other the same way.
All my products, including canned goods, stuff in the shower, have to face out, so I can see the label. I have gotten a little laxed on this one in the last year, though.
I am always cleaning my kitchen counters with 409 & now bleach is my newest friend. I keep a bottle of bleach water handy at all times.
I will only use a dish rag one time & never twice. I'm a germ-a-phobe.
I also wash my hands more times than I could ever begin to count a day.
I have a routine in the shower, getting ready, the way I do laundry, actually in just about everything I do around the house & I can not change the routine. I have do it the same exact way, nothing can be out of order.
There are many, many more, I'm sure I have failed to mention...Believe me. Man, that was kinda embarrassing.
So, what are you OCD about? And come on, everyone has at least one.

Hmmmmm...let's see...which one do I want to admit? Oh yeah...at work, when I go potty, I push on the door (after it's closed and locked) and the door lock several times just to make sure no one is going to walk in on me. I think OCD is a gene in this family! rg
ReplyDeleteWell.... hmmmm.... After I wash my hands in a public place I either push the door open with my behind or use tissue on the handle.
ReplyDeleteMe cabinets are definetly put in a certain order. Shower routine, makeup and so on a must. My main thing is that all doors have to be shut at night before I go to bed. Closet door, the door to our livingroom, and the bedroom door when we had one. IT gives me an odd sense of safety when all the doors are shut.
