I think I hade it. but im not sure.it sounds weird but my brother ralphie would mess my stuff up so bad.
my books would have to be bigest to smallest, all faceing one way, and all evenly placed on my book shelp. my lamp hade to be a certen way, the same thing with my alarm clock,my home work hade to be placed in my folders neatly,all facing the right way, then my books in my book bag had to be the same as on my book shelf. My socks had to be the same size and folded. and the hangers and the shirts on them hade to be all facing one way. If they didnt i freaked.thats just the begining. i used to turn lights on fine but turning them off was a different story. I would turn them off and on untill it felt right always an even number and usaly about 10 to 12 times. but it was only lights.I hade to do these things. But on the rare days that people would notice that i did these things i would lie and say i was board. but my brother know better he saw me do it all the time, and would mess with me.I would come home from school and my room would be trached. all the time. Well not the hole room just my book case and dresser draws. I also hade to have things all things facing the right way. like in the ice box and kitchen cabnet he would mess them up to.after about 2 years of it he broke me of most things. I still do the facing in my kitchen, all my money has to be facing front wise lowest to hightest one in front and when ever i find myself counting things, i wont stop counting untill i get an even number.

Wow, I do all of these things to except the light. I hat turning on the lights. I won't turn on any lights until I have to. My kitchen cabinets are organized. The cans are grouped together and all cans have to face forward. My closet is organized by sweaters, shirts, tanktops, tanktops with the tie around the neck, dresses, and slacks. Everything faces the same way and is also color cordinated. I can't drink out of a cup that has been on the counter for any amount of time. I will examine the fluid in the cup and if it has any thing in it I will not drink it. Usually I find something in it. I have to have all chairs tucked in (need to be pushed under the table). If they are not tucked in my anxiety grows. I try hard to fight it but sometimes it wins over me. I wish you luck. We all need it.
