Obsessive Comcrazy Disorder

Well the nail biting habit was controlled with great difficulty for like a week, but then my life had a stressful day and I was greatly comforted by biting them off again. I’m sorry, I have failed, I will keep trying to control myself or maybe I will grow out of it. This time around was the hardest I ever tried and yet I still couldn’t conquer my 22 year addiction. Well my video game comes out tomorrow and I have the day off of work to play it all day with by brother, Dabran and Dirty Mexican. I have been counting the days and am probably much more excited then I should be about playing it.

As a kid I had obsessive compulsive disorder. Whenever my body parts would make contact with an object or platform I would count the number of contacts and make sure the number was always even, it drove me crazy! One day I was like, man I am really tired of counting, so I stopped… but I still every now and then catch myself “obsessively compulsing”. When I’m writing after I put a period (.) in the end of the sentence I press the space bar twice as you are suppose to but I press backspace twice and the space twice again like 5 times… why? Because I’m freak’n crazy! Just like when I come out of the bathroom I check my zipper like 10 times some times even though I know it’s zipped I just have the paranoid erg to check it again. WHAT’S HAPPENING TO ME? (Space, space, back space, back space…) At least I don’t have turrets. You can’t help but laugh at people with these disorders, I mean there was a lady on TV that had turrets and her “ticks” made her hit her head incredibly hard, I was rolling on the ground laughing when I heard about this… sorry “hit yourself in the head lady” but your serious mental illness is funny. I give you the OK to laugh at my obsessive typing problem.

My husband can only listen to music if the volume is on an even number. If I turn it up and it's on 19 he has to turn it to 18 or 20. I think that's weird too but no harm done and now I just make sure I put it on an even number for him. But your habit is still more bizarre. :-)
I totally get how hard it is to break nervous habits. I struggle with my cuticles. When I'm nervous or bored I tear them up. It sucks. They had gotten better for a while but I jacked them up again this weekend. Back to square one.

I also have some compulsive actions. Mine is locking the door at night and then checking it again and again, even though I know it's locked. I used to do it with making sure everything was turned off, especially the stove, but I have about overcome that one. I check it but usually only once now. But if I get up for anything I'll no doubt have to check the door before I go back to bed. Arghhhhh...........
