Am i alone in this?
I honestly believe i'm truly alone in my ocd behaviour. I'm pretty sure i have ocd, however am yet to go to a doctor. Aswell as the un-necessary counting, repeating, list making, collecting etc there is another aspect i truly doubt no one else experiences because it's so odd and i haven't yet seen it as a symptom. Basically, the feeling of my fingers touching, the joints in my wrists and ankles, my toes touching, my neck, my armpits and the feeling of my tongue in my mouth all just feels uncomfortable. This only happens when i think about how it feels and therefore i have to bend my wrists, stretch my neck, twist my ankles etc. Also i widen my eyes and when i think about how my face feels it feels tight. This is the main part of my ocd that really gets me down and makes me feel depressed. To know that someone else experiences this would at least then assure me that this symptom is under the ocd spectrum, then i wouldn't feel like such a freak going to the doctors with some obscure behaviour. Thank you.
I can't believe there is someone else out there with the same symptoms!!!
Now, I have others as well, and have additional "problems", but I have the same obsessive patterns. Recently the hand feelings have led to bend my fingers and stretching them, consistently that they in turn become painful.
^^^^sorry I sent it to the wrong person. : ]

I'm not familiar with your symptoms in regards to the body feelings, but I assure you OCD can be very unique and personal. Your mind will pick the thing that distresses you the most and just dwell on it and apparently these thoughts you mention are causing you quite a bit of distress. The rest of your symptoms are standard fare in regards to your counting, hoarding etc....I wish you good luck and hopefully you'll visit with an experienced therapist
