I'm not a neat freak, so why do I do this?!
Question: I'm not a neat freak, so why do I do this.?
I will just give you an example because it is hard to explain. I went downstairs to get a box of Special K, but there was three boxes (all the exact same). Normally you would just grab a box, but not me. I thought about grabbing the box in the middle, but I grabbed the one on the right instead. It was bugging me until I got upstairs, so I had to go back downstairs and get the box that was in the middle.
If I don't get or do what I wanted originally, it will bother me until I do. Like a little with a go, I was making some perogies. I scooped 4 out of the bag, but dropped one back in by accident. So anyone else would just scoop out a new one, but I had to get the exact one I dropped.
I have to double check locks, make sure computers are logged off, check my e-mail even if I just checked in 5 minutes ago, or I can't fall asleep.
If I am writing something and spell a word wrong or messy, I have to start over. Like on a new piece of paper, just start over.
This happens at least 4 times a day, why.?

Well im a counselor and if you were my patient I would say you suffer from OCD, obsessive compulsive disorder. This can come in many differnt forms, some people do the things you do, some people constantly count things, some people are complete neat freaks and want everything in its certain place and they can tell if something has moved even an inch. So it can come in different forms and I would definately suggest that you maybe try and find a therapist, someone you can talk to about this. Im not sure if you mentioned your age, but if your in highschool then you could go to your highschool guidence counselor and they can point you in the right direction, but if you are an adult then you know how to find therapy, and if you dont just e mail me I would be more that happy to help you.
