I dont suffer it myself, but that's not a bad idea,though now that you have started a thread, maybe people will start sharing hopefully!

 
Yes, thank you for starting this thread...

Sadly I suffer from it, and I mean proper OCD. I get annoyed when people overuse the word OCD, like when people say if you keep your house clean you're OCD. No!

Quite often with me I get out of bed to check things I've already checked a million bloody times. Checking that the door's locked is bad as well, usually I have to go back to check. Sometimes I notice people have seen and I feel stupid...

I think my worst symptom of it is dripping taps...I feel like a lunatic saying this, but after I turn off a tap, I have to stare at it for 10-20 seconds to make sure it's not dripping...

This is despite me being prescribed mirtazapine and taking all sorts of meds...it makes me despair, nothing ever feels 'right'. =(

I'd like to hear if anyone else has any experiences on the subject.

 
Yeah now that's OCD. I am mildly OCD. Things HAVE to be a certain spot, facing  certain way or I obsess over it. If I decide to buy new bed sheets I will spend hours per day, days on end researching just the right color, stripes, no stripes, thread count AGGGGHHHH. lol I bought a motorcycle and spent more time researching and purchasing parts to upgrade that time actually riding the bike. I get obsessed with research, fact finding, redundancy, I just simply feel the need to control my environment. 

 
OMG! I thought I was just being indecisive, takes me forever to actually buy something, and research and wait,(for what)lol) and then end up buying it. Funny, I thought I was just a little different. I mean even when a buzzard goes off, like dryer micro etc, it drives me crazy till I shut it off.I can clean and if I see one piece of something on floor, gotta pick it up.Weird, hard to focus, but when I do, I will go days looking for the answer I seek. So many dif things.My bro said to me once, you were always a lil bit different, Raz, a step to the side and to the back. Now it makes snese, which really doesn't help me, but good to know why im weird..Lol!  Thank u for bringing the subject up, now I don't feel all alone.You mean they actually give meds to help this? How bad do u have to be? Wait im too old to change

 Take care all, and again, thanks for making me aware of this! Also thank u 4 letting me share my strangeness!

Strangeness is a good way to see it, it's good to see you feel quite happy with the way you are. I'm a bit jealous. My compulsion to triple check doors, dripping taps etc, I can't stand it sometimes.

But you're right, it's something more should be aware of.

 
Well, thanks for understanding what i tried to say! But, hey, if you arent happy with who you are, who else will be? At least I know im not crazy! Theres a word for it! Who knew? Try n have a sense of humor about it! Now Ill know why I just gotta turn off the microwave and know why I do!

  1. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  2. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
  11. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
