Okay, when I am watching television and I turn the volume up/down, the number on the volume must end in 0 or 5. I try to make it something like 23 or 54 but I can only last about 5 seconds of going crazy before I change it to a number with a 0 or 5 on th end. Is this normal? Is this OCD? Does anyone else do this?
Hello, nurse here!
NO that is not OCD. obsessive compulsive disorder is a debilitating and life changing disorder. people with OCD rarely leave their home, for their illness has ruined their life. OCD is a serious mental illness and many people think they have it, i just laugh. just like some people think they have insomnia or are bi-polar. if you had OCD, your friends and family would have noticed by now.

i do this too, and i do have OCD, though that's really normal and not necessarily reason to worry yourself about having OCD
i do it but i never thought i had OCD well maybe uve just helped me to figure a few things about miself ....
anything like that can be categorized as a "form" of ocd, but dont dwell on it, its just normal human behavior. not every brain is seamless
It's only a problem if it prevents you from accomplishing everyday tasks.. Someone with a really strong case of OCD would obsess over those same numbers all day long.. yea maybe a symptom but not full blown by any means. Totally normal :)
i do that too! it's normal. everyone has a weird thing they do like that.
I thought that was just me haha. I have to have it end in 0 or 5 as well. That's cool someone else is like that too
Hey, I used to do that too!
It takes a lot more than liking round numbers for you to have OCD. In order for this sort of thing to be OCD, it needs to be obsessive and negatively effect your daily life.
i think it's normal. but then again i have OCD having to do with other things and i also do this but i never thought of it as being OCD. i think it's just a thing some people do.
Definitely OCD but it's ok, it's normal. I'm OCD too but in other ways with other things.
