I found this forum because I was looking
for a way to cure my insomnia. After
looking through this whole board, I saw
how good it is, and I would now like to
talk about a different problem of mine
here. I feel like a right problem
person! :oops:
anyways, I seem to have a problem in terms
of ocd, which my family and girlfriend
think I should seek help for.
I have to touch the corners of rooms all
the time, and I have to do it 4 times
every time. I have specific points, and
corners I have to touch, and I always have
to do a certain routine of 'corner
touching' before I go to bed.
I just feel as though if I dont do this,
something bad will happen to me, like get
cancer, or die or something. Now this
may sound silly, but I genuinly believe
this. I think if I touch these corners,
and do these routine's, then ill be better
off for it in life.
I have to do this all the time at work
too!
Secondly, I have to spit into my hands.
Now this may sound absolutely disgusting
to you, but I cant help it. I feel like
I sometimes get a disease in my mouth, so
I spit it out. I often do it when I come
across diseased or disabled people. I
dont do this often, only when I come
across people of these types.
Can anyone give me advice on how to
address this? I feel its a bit pathetic
to go to the doctors about, and I feel
really stupid, but its something I cant
help, and is something I have realised
that I need to address.

Hey there. This is my first post, and I
just found this site. To get on with what
I was going to say; what you're going
through is, to me, not in the least bit
unusual in the case of ocd. I have it
now, but just went to the doctor about a
week ago and started taking zoloft. My
ocd is sometimes checking my oven several
times before I go to bed or making sure
the front door is locked. I'm 20 years
old and i've dealt with it for about six
or seven years. By the way, my number was
four too, when I went through the
repeating phase of ocd. And while I can
see that you might not want to go to the
doctor for it, I certainly don't see
anything wrong with it at all. Good luck!

Cheers m8, nice to hear.
I think I will go to the doctors, I just
didn't think there was anything they could
do.
