I'm not sure I understand. Like typing stuff, you can't have two i's in the line? Or is that incorrect? I know that we come up with some crazy stuff sometimes so I don't think anyone is going to think you're stupid. I'm proud of you for sort of doing it anyway. At least now you know that nothing catastrophic will happen, right? Good luck with this.

WAY TO GO! Keep it up, you can do this! Just remember that every time you give in you are making your OCD stronger, so try and hang in there! Lets kick OCD in the ass!

You can do it! It's only your OCD that tells you that you have to line them up. It takes effort to break from your compulsions and for that you should give yourself a big pat on the back!

thanks for the nice comments
i do feel embarrassed about the whole thing,even though i tell myself i shouldnt be
really and its a nothing thing.

im lucky its something i dont have to
do in front of people all the time

i just didnt think i was going to feel
so odd when i dont move them.
really its a feeling of being powerless

i think it started at a time i felt powerless and without it i feel like that again.

Having to stressful a day
ive given up for now
.i'm feeling to to much anxiety
so cant cope with this as well
i feel like im running away
.its just not the right time

i think you're exactly right. It's a form of control. Of controlling situations so nothing 'bad' will happen. A sort of magical thinking. I think mine came from childhood. Lieing in bed at night thinking it i wiggle my thub 1000 times my paren't will come home from the bar and not be drunk or fighting. Then i would always lose count and they'd come home with my mother drunk and screaming and i'd blame myself. Truth is it didn't work then and it won't work now. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

and btw congratulations for making that first attemt. Baby steps. It will happen if we work on it. Sometimes quickly sometimes slowly. I'm proud of u.
