Do i have OCD?
I personally thought this was normal how I sometimes think but recently was told it is not. But still definitely does not mean i have traces of OCD like i am not obsessive about being clean i am very chill about most things and I don’t care if other do things differently and im not a perfectonist. But i’m at the gym now and one step has a different sensation to the rest of the steps and I’m battling allowing each foot to get equal sensation of the disabled step. And I have been like this since a kid like if i touched a weird sensation especially on my leg i feel like i need to do it to the other foot until the sensation feels equal or if one foot steps on a weird color i feel the need to go back so my other foot can also step on the colour. BUT this does not hinder my life in anyway and i perfectly can decide to ignore this. This tends to flare up if i am having a stressful time. But like when i was a kid i did this alot then my mom told me I should fight against this and i did. And largely it went away since i stopped feeding it. So most of the time it’s just uncomfortable noise i am feeling but and not something that is out of my control. Like i can force my self to not give in to those feelings and it doesn’t ruin my day if i if ignore it and i don’t think about all day but in the moment if these thoughts come i feel uncomfortable not giving in
