OCD photography Hello, Perharps I have OCD and type Perfectionism. I always liked photography and taking many photos. From March, April I was In cycle of urge to take photos and videos and I mean many variants of them. It was my collection of game consoles and games. I taked a lot of photos and too selfies with something changing on desk table where it was. Few times I thought that OK, everything is good I have all. I put it in the closet and I got an idea again doing this. I do not wanted to do this, I wanted pause. I wanted to plan what to do next time, what photo or video of that collection. Month ago I fall in cycle of another. I taked photos of my new camouflage shoes collection. It took me few days, I spend 7 hours doing this and I thought about it and I feel anxiety before this. I felt it on heart. I was taked many variants and tell myself it is enought but next day I was again doing this and again tell myself it is enought. I wanted to do this again but my mother by the time rearranged furniture in living room. And i do not want to have bad memories with that room. I hope it ended because I told my mind that will be okay but I again wanted to do more. I had this last year on summer I was taking photos and videos of my new living room in first floor in house. It was only furniture there and nothing more. I soend a lot of time doing this. Before I too had cycles but it was shorter and I do not know that something is with me. I am asking myself what happened to me

Yes it was in total 7h. When I came home I felt stress because I had to continue. I give pause from my capture collection mission.

Yes, If I start something read something on internet I am into it. I always was interested when I bodybuilding I did after photos of myself in my gym. Last year I did not excercise a lot and this year too. Even i think about it because I like it but perharps I am too procastinating. I have paper to psychiatrist and I call yesterday so I have term. I read that our brain still looking for solving problems etc. My mind wants variants of photos and too for things which I will not watch. I wanted to move randomly left magazines on shelf and under are small car models and started taking photos and videos and I am stuck with it. I know I want more variants and I between this must do normal things and now I procastinate to see taked photos. I taked a lot of selfies in bathroom and I want too same in night even it is just a detail that behind small window will be night. I did same with that living room which I wrote. Thanks for hearing me.

@Patrik Are you trying to reach a "just right" feeling?

@Patrik What country do you reside?

@NOCD Advocate - Katie Yes, just right feeling. I searched for it and first page downloaded pdf file with symptoms - Just right OCD symptoms International OCD foundation iocdf.org I too was doing skin picking sice I was kid. Then it was on more fingers and under them on palm. Later only on thumb fingers. I stopped approximately after March. When I started that photographying/video of collection I think I wanted healthy fingers in that and forever. So it is better now. Actually my right thumb finger is healthy. Only little bit up side of left thumb finger. This trigger I have sometimes too and I had it for a while as a child After touching a table, a person feels a sudden need to touch it again I doing lists and I have collection of car magazines bought used or for free. But rather I will not be expanding it. Same as Obsessive–compulsive personality disorder

@Fear Strikes Out I am from Slovakia

@Patrik Nice work reducing the skin picking!!!

@NOCD Advocate - Katie I don't even remember when I had a healthy finger. Just resist the left one for a while and they will be both. Remains complete the OCD cases and I hope I will be okay. I remember that last year documenting empty room drained me, I recently opened that folder and found that I miss one shot and thought that i will do it again, there is not so much things in room, but I will still want more. And now drained me this. Why my mind wants variants of photos for something or at day and night. I stressed myself, then I was cycling few days in June, July. But still that feeling of uncompleted task. I have a stiffened expression of face. Till March I enjoyed all, We went with father to the forest to roast. And then I giving tasks to myself. After again okay and after again some idea and again. After I wanted to make plan what to photo and camera and gain energy but I only few times opened folder like I was afraid of work. I was working as receptionist for year till 15 of March. And now from July as doorman/evidence writing mainly of cars. Even if I do not like much people, or sometimes yes. I remember I that I wantes to die last year when I worked, uff. Thanks
