I have OCD!!!

[Hauptmann Kauffman]

I finally realised today in Algebra that I have OCD. When I am in my room, or on a computer, I am fine, and make a HUGE mess!!! But when Im sitting at a table or desk at school, or for dinner, everything needs to look clean and organised. Maybe even symmetrical. And today, my table partner saw my little symmetrical set-up in front of me, and we talked about OCD, and that made me finally realise I have it!:yeah: Frankly, I like this kind of OCD, and I think it improves "me". Just thought Id get that out!!!:yeah:

Doesn't sound like OCD to me. More like OCD tendancies. I say this because for you to have OCD it has to significantly affect your life. You would have to have obsessive thoughts which lead to compulsive actions. It is generally accepted that OCD is not selective (ie you would have to exhibit the symptoms in situations regardless of changes in your surroundings)

Sufferers of OCD show marked distress at their affliction. It is not a "good" thing to have.

Alright, then I have tendencies... :(

Nah, not OCD, Yuri. Maybe you're becoming more conscientious? Self disciplined? Focused? OCD is a terrible affliction that interferes with normal functioning, it's really debilitating. It get's in the way. What you have sounds like an improvement! Not so bad. Pat yourself on the back (and thank your Lucky Stars).

I do exactly the same thing. The room i'm in now is a pigsty, but when i'm at a table, all the sliverware has to be evenly spaced and parallel.

Ditto. My room is always a mess but when I'm at a table or desk everything has to be perfect.
