How my OCD is kinda different . Do you guys even know what Perfectionism and Order and Symmetry OCD really is ? . Guys , my OCD was induced into me , I sat in a competition wherein they put the chairs and table neatly and symmetrically , and also furniture ads . I was in 6th grade and since then , this spark of O&S&P OCD was induced into me . But since then , this got moulded into thought OCD . C'mon , whatever I said till know is nothing but a sad story . My P&S&O OCD has moulded into such a thought OCD , that I have used this into Number Theory and some other parts of mathematics . I changed it (partly) into pattern OCD , the fear of not seeing a particular pattern . Pattern OCD is not entirely OCD . Due to this I have an intense dislike for things just not being in a certain way . Like - If I make a tick mark with a pencil , and if isn't sharp , then I stop doing things further and I lose all interest in the universe . What I want to say is use your OCD in a constructive way . Art and OCD can go together for example . I also had this unusual habit of associating events and people with SONGS , although I removed that , but I realised this is similar to placing objects which seem associated/similar to some objects , with them , and BOY did I realise this is a distorted form of pattern and thought OCD . "OCD , how do I even begin with , I have experienced the depths of OCD . OCD in the very core of it , is dangerously beautiful . OCD is related to your ego . OCD is nothing . OCD is nothing but a fear of losing , the very root of OCD , is threat and the fear of losing something" Go deep explore your OCD , play with it , some habits have their very root as fear .
