Ink Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I'd be interested to know if this is an OCD thing or a general quirk of mine... If I check the time because I'm about to go out or something I wait until the numbers feel right. There are a variety of possibilities and I sometimes bring in multiplication and other ways to reduce the time I wait. Usually it's just a couple of minutes. I think it's an obsession with things being even or adding up maybe. Does anyone else experience this? Link to comment
PolarBear Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 How anxious would you be if you didn't wait and simply carried on with your day? Try it and see what happens. Link to comment
Tanana Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Sounds like ocd to me. Can certainly relate to the 'feels right' feeling. Sometimes I have to keep watching a digital clock until the number changes. If I don't - something bad might happen to someone I love. Link to comment
Ink Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 I don't get a feeling that any particular bad thing might happen, it's more of a sense that something isn't right when there is a certain number combination. So I don't particularly like to challenge it and have that 'wrong' feeling, but it's no-where near as bad as my other OCDs (contamination and harm) which cause severe anxiety and panic.
