>>9585887
I don't care about symmetry or organization, but I always have to rinse silverware and cups before I use them, even if they're clean. I don't know if it's OCD or not, but I've been doing it since I was 12.

>>9585887
Sounds more like autism than OCD

>>9585917
>>9585919
I agree. I'm aspergers/borderline autistic, and I can never drink/eat unless my utensils have been at least rinsed. I just don't trust dust. Not OCD, just retarded.

Another thing I do is that if there's a stack of disposable cups, I will ALWAYS grab from the second or third cup and never from the first. Same with stacks of plates at a buffet. Again, this isn't OCD, but just full blow stupid paranoia.

>>9585887
They should have just had one bear in 1 row out of place. As it is, the colors are not bad actually.

>>9585887

Go eat a dick dumbass

>>9585887
It isn't fucking symmetrical. There are two rows of orange. There should be another of the puke green ones.

>>9585928
i do the grabbing the second or third cup thing too. I always do it with baskets at the grocery store too but they are all the same there so it doesn't make sense to

>>9586303
I never take the first shampoo or deodorant bc that's the one ppl open up to smell

>>9586492
Hi I'm the asshole who opens up the second shampoo to smell :^)

Nigger, do you even know what OCD is? This has to be a shitpost. Fake OCD is annoying, but you're going to need substance for an actual bitching case anyone gives a fuck about.

>My GF insists that things have to be symmetrical due to her "OCD".
What happens if they're not symmetrical?

why is it ok to make fun of people with OCD?

people don't understand the struggles. I grew out of it luckily but anxiety disorders are no joke
still crops up occasionally if I'm getting stressed out though

>>9587767
>i grew out of it
that's why

it's entirely mental, nothing but your own mind doing it to itself. unless you get a brain scan and have some sort of injury, tumor, or odd activity in some associated part of the brain, you're just a product of the modern strive for survival

>>9585887
Not sure it this wins anything, but it is mine. I never eat everything together, like non ocd people.

For eg. First i eat fries, then salad/vegetables, and then meat. From a dish. I usually eat in order from not so tasty to best part of meal.

>>9587784
And now you're justifying making fun of people with mental health issues because "It's just your mind, herp derp, you have shitty genes". You're lack of understanding the complexities of it tells me YOU have shitty genes and should not breed so you don't pass your low IQ to others. Do you also tell people who are born with physical issues that they're just part of natural selection and don't deserve any help?

>>9585887
This is pissing me off because things should be arranged by colour from warmest to coolest if they were going to organise them in a coloured fashion anyway.

>>9587784
everything is all mental
some disorders can get better over time on their own as hormones, stimuli, or learned coping methods change, other can get worse.

people need stop saying OCD when all they have is an occasional C
OBSESSIVE you literally can't move past the compulsion until you have completed the ritual
DISORDER meaning it gets in the way of you having a functionally normal life

when people say "lol I'm ocd", yeah nah, you're just an anal cunt about stuff and will get over it. preferring something that is visually orderly isn't ocd, its just a normal mainstream aesthetic opinion
>lol I have to keep all my papers straight because I'm ocd
or worse yet
>a little ocd
damn, so you're telling me you prefer to keep your work organized? wow so OCD of you

now tell me, have you been sitting there for the last 40 minutes making little tiny micro adjustments you can barely see to the corner of the paper so it's sitting level with the desk JUUUUST right?
oh you haven't been? then fuck off with your self diagnosing mental illness for attention

>>9587824
Welcome fellow synesthesia-ite.

>>9587818
You go right to insulting, and bringing up a topic I never mentioned, instead of addressing my point. You are acting unreasonably, and communicating out of emotion. I have no further interest in this discussion if you continue to act in such a manner.

I'll leave with only one more thing. Traditionally, society weeds out undesirable traits and mentalities through rejection, only within the past forty years or so have we considered different approaches. These approaches have gained us much insight into causes and effects. OCD is definitely recognized by the DSM-5, but to register on the lower end of the Y-BOCS, you could be stating test parameters of everyday routine and stress relief. I could link you the stipulations involved for "diagnosis" of "OCD" if you like, but they are just arbitrary as all get out.

k

>>9587767
because they don't actually understand what real OCD is. people think it's just liking things neat, and having things ordered

in reality it's checking the taps 18 times in a row other wise (you believe) you will drown in your sleep, or needing to check the lights befor you leave the house otherwise they will explode and burn the house down and therefore you're a terrible mother I HATE MYSELF

etc

used to live with this one bitch she changed her clothes like 5-7 times a day otherwise she believed the house would collapse? it made no sense also she would occasionally wig out and think the house was spaceship and we were all imposters?

Wrong. Your brain being wired wrong is not "mental", it's physiological. Just because it's sometimes partially a firmware issue doesn't mean it's not also a hardware issue.

>>9588179
Fuck, this is me
This is my specific brand of Autism
Whenever I go on a bike ride (mostly after lots of pressure from family to all do it together, I never decide to bike out of my own free will) if my bike brushes up against the grass on the right of the sidewalk I have to do it on the LEFT side of the sidewalk, too, and it had to be the same
And sometimes I get do autistic instead of doing something R-L I even go as far as to do it R-L-L-R-L-R-R-L-L-R-R-L-R-L-L-R or something with a pattern like that

I haven't been to a therapist in ages, definitely going to do so as soon as I pick out a healthcare plan. Thanks for the well-wishes! It's a six-figure job and an awesome team, so the idea of losing it over something so stupid is stressing me out. That's almost the worst part- I'm a socially able and very good at what I do, but my mental health problems cripple my potential.

Yeah, been getting help for about 3 years now. It's difficult because apparently I've been depressed since I was a kid. Lots of bad shit to undo and learn.

And 50,000 iud of Vit D a week.

It blows in some ways. You feel like your life is a science experiment. But at least I'm not impulsively having the inside of my head filled with FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING LOSER YOU PIECE OF SHIT WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO OFFER YOU'RE AN AWKWARD UGLY FUCKING LOSER JUST END IT YOU FREAK every second of the day every single day.

Sometimes it still happens, but at least it's not as constant as it was.

>humans aren't computers.
Wrong. Humans are the best computers. Our fucking synapses switch faster than transistors. You know that thing you can feel in the back of your head/neck? That's your cerebral cortex. It processes every fucking thing you see.

>>9591346
That's literally 80's-tier neuroscience, m8. Research has demonstrated time and time again that circuitboards are just a shoddy metaphor for synaptic networks; cognitive processing is far more complex and involves (extremely important) things like emotional reasoning, implicit and explicit processing, cognitive hierarchies, etc. that have no analogue even in (contemporary) AI.

Sometimes an intrusive thought will occur while I'm walking through a doorway. If I'm particularly anxious that day I'll have to stop (balanced on one foot like a retard) and think of something positive that "negates" the intrusive thought before I can finish walking through the doorway.
This rarely happens anymore but it feels so awful when it does. I force myself to ignore shit like this 99% of the time because I know it's all just irrational manifestations of anxiety, but my brain just won't quit.

>>9585887
A guy with really bad OCD lived across from me once. Whenever he got home from work he would open and close each of his car's four doors at least 8 times a piece, then lock and relock it several times. Whenever he left his apartment, he would open and close his door a couple times, then lock it and yank on it about 15 times to make sure it was locked. Real OCD is actually pretty fucked.

>>9591076

Holy. Fucking. Hell. The withdrawal is miserable... I was on it for a year in combo with others (also a diagnosed ocd) and I wouldn't wish those brain zaps on anyone.

>>9596495
It's normal behavior. Or rather...it's a quirk.

I used to do it, until my chef training kicked in and I started eating
things in order of how quickly they'll cool down.

If you take note, kids do this too. They'll just be more obvious about
leaving things they have no interest in.

I used to have this habit when I was younger of tapping my feet/fingers/hands/whatever, and the taps had to be symmetrical and I couldn't stop until I repeated the pattern backwards.

For example tapping left and right feet:
LRRL RLLR RLLR LRRL
Is a really simple example but I would sometimes do this for 5+ minutes. I grew out of it in a year or two. But I HATE people who make up OCD, not because it threatens my snowflake status (because I'm not OCD) but because it's cool to have mental disorders nowadays. How many people who say they have depression actually have real depression?

this is pretty interesting to me; i do exactly this but haven't brought it up to my psychiatrist although i've thought about doing so many times. I got diagnosed with MDD, social anxiety and some kind of gay PTSD for pussies, anytime a negative/embarrassing memory comes up i have phrases i will literally speak aloud or i'll look down at the ground/squeeze my toes
usually the phrase is "kill me" or "kill yourself," but strangely enough the next most common one is "watch this" lol, like i'm trying to actively repress my memory
i do it unintentionally but i guess i have enough control over it to where no one around me has ever noticed so i didn't bother bringing it up

>>9596495
There's an episode of Monk where he says "I think everyone would prefer their food not to touch, they're just too afraid to admit it."

>>9596799
Haha, I do 'kill myself' too.
You should bring it up to your therapist. There's a chance that it could get worse depending on how old you are and what kind of life situation you're in. If you face something life-changing like unemployment, a break-up, etc. then it could really aggravate the condition to the point where it consumes you. Also, if you bring it up, it might change your diagnosis to something more accurate (and as such more treatable). As I'm sure you know, there's a lot of overlapping symptoms and ambiguity in the mental health world.
>some kind of gay PTSD
don't disparage yourself, the only necessary environmental condition for developing PTSD is having an extreme short-term trauma or long-term trauma that can be less extreme.

>>9596799
>but strangely enough the next most common one is "watch this"

I laughed im sorry

I have something like this never been diagnosed or anything. I just figured it was because I havent had any meaningful social interaction in like 7 years

My phrase is usually "I hate everything" which I follow more consciously with "but mostly myself" Also can't stop myself from saying "This nigga!" when something surprising happens

My person theory is that extended isolation gives you some specific form of Tourette's

>>9596799

Yeah I've been thinking I need to take a different approach, went through 5 antidepressants that didn't help at all. Also thanks, it just seems lame compared to soldier PTSD which is way more logical but I get what you mean.

>>9596835
It makes me laugh too, it's so ridiculous. I've been super isolated too, even when I was in college going to class every day there was no real interaction for a couple years, I went like 9 months without hearing anyone say my name. It's pretty crazy how people are constantly discovering ways modern isolationism fucks with the human brain.

It's definitely worthwhile to talk to your therapist about it, then. Who knows- maybe it'll help you find a treatment regimen that actually works.
> it just seems lame compared to soldier PTSD
What did you get it from, if you don't mind me asking?

>>9596868
Pretty sure it's normal, since I know people who do it and the more people I ask, the more I discover I'm as batshit insane as the next person.

I'll normally blurt out "Oh god" or "Oh fuck" or something along those lines when recalling a memory that's embarrassing.

I think it's the brain just sorting through memories and saying "Hey, is this memory still relevant to us?" -insert over the top reaction to memory here- "Yep, seems we still need to know how to avoid THOSE situations again, my human isn't really happy with this memory...shit's beyond important" -deletes several happy memories where no emotional trauma happened instead-

>>9596926
I don't even know. I went to rehab over the summer for drug/alcohol abuse and I had this therapist who actually seemed more knowledgeable than any other I'd spoken to. She theorized that I illogically regard every social interaction as a threat because of embarrassing interactions I've had in the past and that my brain regards every negative social interaction as a traumatic experience which sends me into a fight or flight response before I can respond to the situation appropriately. It's probably just girls and friends who didn't really like me; every time I've opened up emotionally I've been hurt. I go to a lot of concerts alone and every time I think about how I was dancing and feel horrible for weeks/months and that can keep coming back forever as far as I can tell. I definitely had emotional problems already though, constant thoughts of sudoku since I was 11 at least but i'm not sure why. Anyway she drew some charts about how my brain was processing social interactions and then diagnosed me with chronic PTSD. I really don't know if that was right, I waited until I was 23 to see a psychiatrist for the first time and everything just built up so it's probably harder to diagnose

>>9596945
Yeah that's the thing, I'm pretty sure everyone who ever existed cringes at embarrassing memories

>>9596891
Sounds more like GAD or some other more closely related anxiety disorder.
>>9596945
How long have you been doing that, and how regularly do you do it? That's how it started with me, took about 1.5 years (from 21) and a stressful long-term situation for it to turn into something that greatly impaired basic human functioning. Depending on how often it happens and how old you are, it could get much worse if you don't try and manage it early on.
>>9596978
That makes a lot of sense. Don't feel bad m8, it's not like you elected to get those symptoms, and at least it falls out of a prior mental health issue instead of some actual pussy shit like getting mean messages on the internet. I know a few people who have PTSD from their experiences in grad school and watching 9/11 unfold on TV; the 'kind of gay' PTSD that you're describing is probably much more common than anybody thinks because nobody wants to admit it. Especially in the West, because the way our society is structured inherently imparts long-term stress on almost everybody. There's been a billion studies on it; most mental illnesses are way overrepresented in the West despite our much higher standards of living and lower crime rates.
>I really don't know if that was right, I waited until I was 23 to see a psychiatrist for the first time and everything just built up so it's probably harder to diagnose
Probably, but I guess you just gotta let as much of it out for your doctors as possible. And don't feel ashamed or like your problems aren't legitimate. Mental illness is more common than dandruff in the West, and anxiety disorders make up one of the most common categories, if not the most common.

>>9596978
Overactive imagination, yo.
This is why therapists say "Talk to people" for pretty much every solution to everything ever. If that doesn't work, here's a course of meds that will hopefully make you talk to someone.

See, most people don't need meds. Some really do and a psychotic fit is a scary thing to witness, but most don't.

Here's an example; most of us will recall thinking that we're the only 'real' people on Earth and everyone around us is an alien/robot/what-the-fuck-ever. This comes from being disconnected, not being able to distinguish fantasy from reality, a sign of insanity.

So either most kids are fucking insane, or we all have crazy ass imaginations that we're quick to label as a medical condition. Your mileage will vary, I guess, but still try talking to people about weird shit you do. You'll be surprised.

>most people don't need meds. Some really do and a psychotic fit is a scary thing to witness, but most don't.
Yup towards the end of my fifth antidepressant trial I started to get pissed about this retarded shit I was being prescribed making me feel braindead while the psychiatrists were getting paid for giving it to me. I stopped taking it on my own but now I'm drinking again. I really wouldn't need meds to function if I was content with my life, I honestly believe I just need to get out of this pit that makes me feel worthless. If I had benzos/stims I'd use them to get fucked up. I've been considering therapy with no drugs but it's hard to bother when even getting out of bed seems pointless. I'm pretty open with people and very relaxed outwardly, sometimes it seems the problem is there are no people in my life but other times it feels like that's the last thing I'd want. anyway i know i need to be more social

I knew a kid who could only eat food that was countable and yellow. I'm pretty sure it was an actual mental disorder, though.

Yeah, I get that. Depression makes a person incredibly selfish. Talking to people about things you literally couldn't care less about takes effort, but you know what? They won't express an interest in the boring shit you do unless you make an effort.

It's a cynical view of depression, from depression, but nobody truly wants to be left alone. It's great at first, but people achieve nothing without *something* to motivate them.

Doesn't matter who you talk to though, hell this sorta counts. What's important is not automatically jumping to conclusions that some thoughts are 'crazy' thoughts and discussing them with people. Obviously don't tell anyone if you want to rape your sister, but literally everyone has imagined impaling themselves on a knife while walking with one.

More you start these "Hey, do you guys do this crazy shit where you..." conversations, the more you discover a great deal of your 'insanity' is neatly woven into people around you too.

Seconding the notion to use the benzos though.

My best bud has an insanely attractive older sister and if he hasn't thought at least once about forcing her to have sex with him I'd think he was mentally ll desu

Not the same aspie, I don't really care for the label. Everyone thinks I'm so special when they hear about it and I never hear the end of it. Is it too much to ask to just keep the autism thing not out in the open? It kind of makes me feel like one of those kids who have it so bad that they can't even walk. On topic, I only have OCD when it comes to spoons. And even then that's because they're the comfiest to use.

So this is the power of autism

>started eating things in order of how quickly they'll cool down
That's pretty rational. The only time temperature doesn't matter to me is sweets (fresh pie a la mode is uma delicia).

The old school lunch trays definitely make me feel better and I do try to separate my food as much as possible. I will admit that I don't like liquids or semi-solids mixing with solids (e.g. residual vegetable juice or pudding mixing with steak) but like in my previous post, solids touching solids is usually fine.

I compulsively wash my hands although idk if I'd call it OCD (i try to not self diagnose) but if I touch anything that isn't "clean" in my mind I feel dirty / gross until I clean my hands. It's a good habit for cooking but in my daily life its a pain. In the winter I have to put lotion on my hands because get so dry.

I don't do it with cups or baskets but when I buy meat or produce, I always dig into the back and bottom area of the display. If the display was properly rotated when stocked, the freshest items will be in the back and bottom area. Plebs reach for the closest items in the front and on top.

On 4chan, we make fun of people with autism.

>>9587767
Because OCD is 'quirky'. 'Oh my god Stacey, I have to get the posters in my room ABSOLUTELY STRAIGHT, I'm so OCD'.

Also, this is 4chan, if nog bashing or using autism as a pejorative bothers you maybe you should go

>actively anger me and I get in their face about it all the time

No shit you're bipolar you fucking psychopath. Do you sometimes go an cry about it too?

Tell her to not confuse actual crippling OCD with the more common OCPD.

Unless they say they were actually diagnosed by a medical professional, call them out on their claim.
