Touching...

Ever since I can remember, whenever I touch something, I get the urge to put my fingernail against it and scratch it lightly. The urge is sometimes so strong that if I don't act on it, I get a feeling in my hands and feet. The feeling is hard to explain, kind of like a tingly sensation. Am I the only one?

    Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Go see a therapist right away bf it gets worse. Even if it seems that it's not a problem now, seeing a therapist will ensure that it doesn't become a problem later.

    I do that very same thing. And I was diagnosed as borderline OCD so it definitely could be that!

    You have OCD. Go to the doctor. It's not horrible but maybe they can give you something.
