Aiight, I want someone to talk to who has OCD and has actually had the resources with which to deal with it. I've never been able to talk to someone who meets said criteria, and I think it may be helpful. Anyone who makes smartass remarks to this post...you guys are going to Hell. So bugger off. :-P

I had it when I was little. I would count my steps, how many bites of food I took, re-shut doors "just right" to keep people from dying, and wash my hands compulsively. It sucked, but it went away by itself when I was about 10. (I was afraid to tell my parents about it because they already got angry with me for washing my hands so much) So mostly, I just tried to ignore it and it gradually stopped. But even now I'll get days where I have to make up a phrase in my head and repeat it over and over to keep myself from counting random stuff.

Yeah, I can relate to that. I have a tendency to do really weird shit like making really long and pointless lists trying to remember every movie I've ever seen, and such... I'm a very goal-oriented person by nature, anyway. so it makes it a bit difficult to discern when I'm just being focused and when I'm behaving irrationally. I usually just use a rule of thumb when I realize I'm hyperfocusing and I take a step back, and decide whether the end result of said action is actually worth the time I'm spending on it. If it's not, then it's probably something compulsive and I try to drag myself away from it.
