Well just recently my little quirks have gotten extreme. In the shower, I HAVE to do things in a certain order, and put my shampoo/conditioner etc back in the same spot, facing forward, cap back on my razor, same way of putting on my robe and towel, everything has to be the same. I have to make my bed the same way every morning, and unmake it the same way every morning. I can't leave the house if my room isn't organized the way I like it, and I will get agitated if people mess up my things. One night it took me 15 minutes to get into bed because I had to make it more perfect than how I did it that morning, simply before I could even get in bed. I'm concerned because obsessive thoughts keep popping up, and I don't want it to become a serious problem. What should I do?Is this obsessive compulsive disorder?
It does sound like some sort of OCD. If it is interfering with your life it would be a good idea to see a psychologist who can diagnose and treat you, making it easier to manage/reduce your symptoms. It is great that you have noticed it early and want to change your behaviour. Best of luck with whatever you choose to do =)Is this obsessive compulsive disorder?
I do the same thing. Count steps and dont step on cracks. The crack thing slows me down when I walk but i like it.
