Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder, more specifically, an anxiety disorder.

I cannot leave my house or go to sleep without checking every lock in my house about three times each. I have to have the dishes stacked a certain way. I have to make my bead right before I go to sleep instead of after I wake up. I check the locks the same way every time. I turn off he lights a certain pattern every night. I also collect stuff no one else ever thought of, like, I collect the comics. I have almost every comic from 8 years ago to now. I never throw anything away that has to do with me, I have school homework from 3rd grade, some assignments before that. I guess people can say that I am a pack rat ( or something to that extent)

My checking was usually confined to checking with people to make sure I was still in good with them. Always doubting that anyone will tolerate me.

The temptation is there for me and I always have a clutter to pick up. My husband collects comic books too. Not such a bad thing really. Maybe there's one of value there!

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
