Okay, I usually find myself double checking to see if I locked the doors. It's weird... I check only once... but 8 out of 10 times I will check. I lock the door... go do something.. then I start to worry a little and go back to double check.... I do that at work too.

I think my friend's son may have some. He's 3 and loves cars. He likes to line them up neatly and if someone messes them up, he will NOT like it.

Sort of. You see, I have CDO.......It's exactly like OCD, but the letters are in alphabetical order, like they should be.

Yes, I do have some slightly OCD traits. I like my towels folded a certain way......before I play the piano publicly, there are certain things that I do every time........and my cookie sheets need to be stored on their sides, not laying flat. *rolls eyes* I don't freak out if these particular orders are disturbed, but I'm much more pleased if they are followed.

I was just telling my dad this today, Carol. I'm always checking to see if I locked the door, turned off the curling iron. I check on my kids several times during the night. I could go on for hours. :unsure:

Me Too Carol I Doubel check to see if the Door is lock lots of times to and I also have to check if anybody is hiding in the house not all the time usally only when i know nobody had been home for awhile and if TV's are turn off and the VCR's DVD Players Computer all of the things it's wierd

i really have no clue. lol

Yeah I know what you're saying Rhonda lots of those things that we are just Habbits or something My Onkel (He Married my Moms Sister) Could't Feel When it was time to stop eating my aunt always had to tell him sometimes he would eat way to much then my aunt would have to say that he had eatin a lot already then he would stop sometimes he would eat only a little bit then she would say eat a little more stuff like that but i'm not even sure if that would be Call OCD

I'll remember that if I ever have you over for dinner. :P

Rhonda, Rhonda, Rhonda, You should know me by now, I don't get offended easily.

Remember girlfriend, you said it......better be ready......

Rhonda, you are so right. I know what I have are more habits or cause I just got "mommy brain" and didn't remember if I did whatever or not so I do the double check. Besides I have to do the double check of things locked around here or windows closed before bed cause some in this house do not shut the front door all the way cause of how it is or I have at times found a window open. But really all the other things I might have to do a certain way is just habit or like with towels and shirts and how they are folded...its cause its the only way they will fit in where they go at this point. LOL I have heard some talk about their OCD issues and it was bad. They can't leave a room if things aren't just so. It could be a little piece of a rug not laying right or a smal speck of dirt somewhere and to most of us it would be like whatever but to them it is not right. The guy that hosts Food Network's Unwrapped has a form of it. He has talked about it before and he was that way. I was surprised to learn this cause he had hosted a show on Nick called Double Dare and at times got messy and yet he really couldn't stand it.
BTW, Carole, the thing with the 3yr old and the cars, its something both my boys did at about 2-3 yrs old. Its normal for most kids to do that. If they have ones that are the same car they might match them in the line together or by color. Mine both did that stuff. Its a sort of learning thing. LOL

Another odd thing - I tend to not like things in patterns of 3 - ie 6, 9, 12, etc. For instance, if I have to walk 3 steps to get somewhere, I'll take an extra one to make it 4, etc - pretty weird, even to me!

I have OCD. Numbers are a big thing for me. Whenever I see a group of numbers - on a license plate, a digital clock, etc. - I have to add them up. And Christina, I also have certain "bad" numbers. I'm not crazy about 10, 12 or 15. :unsure:
