Ok heres some wierd shit I did when I was like 14 I'm 26 now but occasionally still do things of this nature...

I had to put my bottom row of teeth in front of my top row of teeth and rub them against each other in multiples of 4 all whilst thinking about whatever OCD thingy I was bothered about at the time (It involved this time when I got accidentley hit in the head with a golf club and I told myself that he did it on purpose to which I'd reply to myself "no he didnt.. which he didnt) So I had to think of this guy and all these other guys in multiples of four whilst doing the teeth thing...

The thing is I kept fucking it up so I had to do it again but b4 I did I'd have to do a pre teeth ritual and if I fucked THAT up i'd have to do a pre pre ritual ad nauseum...

one of the pre rituals was walking down the stairs of my house and then walking back up them... no shit I must have walked up and down those fkin stairs about 200 times that day. In the end I couldnt get it right and I Ended up bein a blubbering mess.

It was tortureous at the time but lookin back on it it's bloody hilarious Smile

I do the mario-style thing too. I imagine myself running alongside the car and jumping over things.
I thought that was just the product of an overactive imagination.

Wow I do the mario thing too! Is it actually anything to do with ocd though, or is it actually just an overactive imagination? ...

omfg TWO other people here do the mario thing. i cannot believe it!!! i know this sounds weird but do you flex your muscles at the same time as imagining jumping over the poles... or do you just imagine jumping over them? i'm kind of excited to think i'm not the only one who does this.

another thing i do is... my mom has a plastic orange bowl. for some reason orange is a color i relate to vomiting (maybe because as a kid i puked spaghetti and it was orange). anyways, i would never eat out of the orange bowl because it might curse me to throw up. logically i know this is not true but even to this day i won't eat out of it if there are other bowls. i kind of feel guilty, bad for this orange bowl, like its feelings would be hurt because i have singled it out as a bad object. sometimes i feel guilt towards inanimate objects, personification. i know if anyone i knew read this they would think i'm batshit crazy. maybe i am.

You know, the orange bowl thing almost sounds like something called synaesthesia. Incase you don't know what that is, it's a condition where a person's senses become 'united'. So a person can 'smell' a colour, or taste a piece of music.

Just because of the whole thing about how you relate 'orange' to 'vomit'.

Yeah, I've done plenty of crazy stuff. The worst obsession I've ever had happened while I was in Santiago Spain. I was practicing NOT doing ocd things, but for some reason, when I couldn't stand it any longer, I walked out of the door of a building and touched it wrong, and it hit me like, ten fold. But I didn't go back because I was trying not to give in. And i didn't want people to notice. For the entire month that I was in Spain it haunted me, because I thought that if I didn't touch the door right before i went back to the u.s., i would probably never have the chance to return there and do it, and terrible things would happen. A few days before i returned to the states I took a 10 hour bus ride back to Santiago and touched the door. I felt absolutely ridiculous!! I'm a pretty rational person, I just don't understand how I can convince myself that something so irrational is true. How could a door have any effect on my life whatsoever?? It's insane..fuck chemical imbalances!!

No way! I do that with fence posts and Tony Hawk ! I don't clench cheeks together though. I did like to try and time it with music. I didn't even know that was an OCD thing! I thought I just had a really vivd imagination! haha.
