I'm sorry, I would have answered this question sooner had I known you had a second part. Here is what I wrote in another OCD question.
I have OCD. Not a mild case or an extreme case, but a pretty intrusive-on-my-daily-life case. I'm exact about everything, I have to be. I freak out if I look at a clock and it says like 12:01, 12:29, 12:59, etc. I have to wait until it turns to the next minute before I am satisfied. When I go to school and have to bring books home I have to have them in a certain way or else I cannot leave. I feel like people are staring at me at all times of the day. I can't stand backwash in a drink or eat after/drink after someone else, no matter if they are a relative or close friend. After going to the bathroom and washing my hands, I cannot touch the door handle or lever on the towel dispenser thing with my hand, I use a napkin to open the door and dispense my paper towel before washing my hands. I don't really do rituals before I can leave a room or anything, but my OCD does affect my life. I wish I could say no one knows I have it, but that isn't true. Everyone in my class knows I have it, and they laugh at me because of it. I can't help it. A bad experience led me to who I am today. I wish I could be "normal", but I am not. After eating, I cannot have one of the restaurnat's complimentary mints.Urine mints. I get obsessive over little things like television programs (Gilmore Girls) and drinks (Dr. Pepper) very easily. When someone comes up too closely, I flinch/twitch. I can't look people in the eye and I can't have people looking me in the eye. If someone is too close or in too much of my space, I freak out and back up. I'm not on medication, but I like medication and fire more than I probably should. I talk to myself frequently as a result of OCD.
I too, have to put things back in the stores, my dad tries to purposely put things back in the wrong places just to "get my goat" knowing I will have to go put it back. I am not a loud talker so I have to repeat myself a lot. Some of what I put above is a repeat of what was in my last answer, but I elaborated a bit more. I'll try to help more in the future, if I can. I'll e-mail you later.
P.S. I see you online for Y! IM, but I cannot send you an IM.
