I have a similar compulsion with your volume settings. I always need mine to be in increments of five. I don't go nuts over it, but it's a weird thing for me as well, lol.

Well, everyone has OCD, some people just have it worse than others. I can say from experience that lots of people have the volume always on multiples on five :p

I also suffer from OCD and have since I was about 4 or 5 years old. These days it's mostly obsessions and not so much compulsions and checking, though I still check my pulse probably 100x more than your average person. PM me if you ever wanna talk to someone else who goes through the same thing from time to time.

And to the post above me, yes... you can it's just uncomfortable and it's very hard to get the thought to leave your mind, it's as if your brain is stuck and everything doesn't feel right until you change it to 20 or 25.

Edit: Also to everyone suggesting CBT or other methods, trust me, I"m sure by this age the OP has heard / tried em all. Anyone with OCD for long or severe enough has. It's just even with thorough and sustained behaviour therapy its an imbalance of chemicals in your brain. You can learn to overcome it but relapses will happen later in your life, from time to time and you'll have to do the behaviour therapy battles all over again. I practiced and learned behaviour therapty with my parents from 7-12 years old and finally was able to overcome the problems with OCD I was facing till about 16 when I relapsed pretty hard, 2 years later at 18 I was OCD free again for 2 more years until 20 when it manifested itself in a new way I hadn't dealt with before, struggled through it again for about 12 months, was OCD free for about another year now late into 21 I'm in the midst of another relapse, but not so bad right now, I think i'm almost over it. I never was one for drugs though, never went on any antidepressants or SSRIs.


Sorry for the long paragraph I just wanted to describe how it is so those who don't have it might understand a bit better about how it works.


Sorry to hear man. That doesn't sound like fun.

But the idea that OCD is caused by a "imbalance of chemicals" is NOT an undisputed fact. There is NO test for a "chemical imbalance". It's true that some chemicals make you feel better -- but you don't need a scientist to tell you that. Just go to a local bar.

I'm not opposed to the use of medication. I just think there are a lot of good reasons to think the cause of OCD is primarily cognitive.

One example of scholarly work that disputes the chemical imbalance theory
To say that I'm missing the point, you would first have to show that such work can have a point.

It's "normal" for people to have a couple "non-normal" habits.
I for example also like to arrange the money in my purse neatly, but I wouldn't say that it's a hint to me having OCD.
