Guys don't scare him like that. Unless it's really negatively affecting your life and you can't function without doing the tendecy then you're fine. I'm sure if you put your mind to it and not make a big deal of it I'm sure you'll manage. Just live life and don't let it bother you.

i think it might be a little bit me and my dad do it non stop and if i miscount i will go back up or down and re count it. but its okay. i think we all have a little ocd in us somewhere. but just keep on living it shouldnt affect you too much.:)

I have O.C.D. and I have found ways to get rid of my habits....with my therapist.

I know how you get a bad feeling in your body when you don't do these "superstitions"(thats what I call them).

This is my main way of getting rid of the habits. I think by doing these habits, what is it getting in the way of.I stop for a day or two maybe I can see. Then after those days of weird feelings, bad thoughts, thinkWow I did it!.

Even if you think "If I don't do these superstitions I will have bad luck" still try to do a half a day.....remember by doing this you will have a "habit-free" life.

it might be because obsessive counting is a symtom
