Yes!! I’ve spent the whole day making sure I look at everything so that an equal amount of light comes into both my eyes (this is the hardest thing to explain!) For example, if I looked at something bright from my left side, I have to turn around and look at it with my right side and keep turning until it feels like I’ve reached an equilibrium. I also have to straighten anything that seems out of line in public (so that’s particularly humiliating.) I completely understand the need for symmetry Ellaaaax, so frustrating! d a i s y

Omg this is same as me, I have to look in like form of 4 at everything, it’s annoying because i look bloody mental doing it lmao but oh well. I do it with touching things too, like if I touch something with one hand, I’ll also touch it will the other too. It’s so weird lmao

Ohhh same!! I look like a complete weirdo! At least we can see the funny side of it I guess and have a little giggle at ourselves every now and then hehe. I also have to do it a “special” number of times - so bad! I hate to hear you’re going through this, but it’s so nice to be able to confide in someone who understands exactly what it’s like. d a i s y

Omg both of you just made my day, even though maybe it's weird to say it since we're all suffering here!! :/ I have to have the same amount of AIR in both my eyes even, and light too. So I have to open them the same amount the same amount of times! I have to do everything an even amount of times (usually 4) but because this is sacred, and I hate waking up, I have to set my alarm to an odd number time so that an even number doesn't become tainted. At least I am laughing typing this out!!! Maybe by being able to laugh at the absurdity of it all will help us

I can totally relate Tay! Know you’re not alone because I definitely know exactly how you feel. Especially the eye thing, I’ve never met someone who understands it like you! So annoying but definitely kinda funny when you think about it. We always have each other! d a i s y

Ocd
My OCD has never been this strong, it's so real, it feels like it will never go away, it's never been this strong for me and it's very scary.

How do I know if I have OCD?
This list by ai gives a good summary of my symptoms. Does it resemble OCD or is it something else? 1. Compulsions (OCD-specific behaviors): • Feeling the need to flex or contract muscles an even number of times, equally on both sides of your body. • Needing to reverse actions (for example, if you roll your eyes or trace a line with your finger, you feel compelled to do it again in the exact opposite way). 2. Intrusive Thoughts (OCD-specific ruminations): • Daydreaming about people you care about getting hurt (e.g., school shooting, injury, or kidnapping). • Sometimes feeling like you might want something bad to happen to someone you find attractive—possibly because of a desire to help or save them, though it’s confusing. • These thoughts can sometimes provide a twisted sense of relief while remaining distressing and confusing. 3. Sexual Orientation OCD: • Experiencing confusion or doubt about your sexual orientation. 4. Contamination Thoughts: • Feeling like things are contaminated, especially after touching something gross. 5. Sensory Compulsions: • Feeling the need to smell your hand after touching areas like your ear or hair. 6. ADHD-like Symptoms / Additional Observations: • Fidgeting or moving your legs when standing or sitting.
