OCD suffers speak here?

Question: I'm a 27 year old male, ive had OCD sinse i was about 10, mine affects me everyday, from numbers to keeping things in a straight line, germs, and doing things that i beleive will give me luck (and avoiding things that i belive will give me the opposite) i'd love to hear from people in the same situation, how does it affect your day to day life, what are your 'tasks' and do people notice it in you, and if so how do they treat you?
thanks in advance

Answers:
Hi there, im seeing a psych and she says i have mild symptoms of OCD. It started when a dear friend and father figure was killed in a car crash and i went to see him in the chapel of rest and started to be freaked out by the smallest things, curtains being slightly open, anything that wasnt straight, im not too bad about the germs bit but i CANNOT bring myself to leave the bathroom without washing my hands, even if im clean. it gets worse if people are staying here and move things out of place, i find my mind is over taken by whatever the problem is until i have sorted it. I hope this helps xxx

Hi,

I have always done silly little things, i dont know if they count as ODCs or not, but they are:

Everything having to be level, symmetrical, at right angles or even.

Things have to be three's or fives or an even number or a nice round number. (eg I couldnt have the tv volume on 14. even though its an even number, 15 is better) get it?
