a very close friend of mine suffers from OCD, and it can show in many different ways. OCD is usually based on rituals, exactly like the letter counting ritual youve described. some people count their steps in a day, or the number of tiles on a cieling. Some people have to touch every doorknob in their house before they leave, or open a door and close it a set number of times before they go through. In my friend's case she cleans things. I mean every single thing in a room must be spotless and in exactly the right spot. the picture on the desk must be three inches from the edge etc. OCD is a disorder that happens to A LOT of people, whether it be little things that they have to do for no reason up to things that can alter their life. There are medications though, so i would suggest going to a doctor and discussing it. there are also therapies that are supposed to surpress the disorder.
Am i normal?
