I've had OCD since I was 10 :( I hate when people always assume OCD has to deal with germs! I have never had that fear ever! I touch my hair constantly, and I know that's another common one, and there are other common ones too. But the media just wants to exploit the strangest part of any disorder, and it's stupid that they do that

Ocd friends, come and talk to us other sufferers on MapOfMates :)

I have OCD. I don't like dirty dishes, dust, prescription and over the counter medication, certain types of food, certain types of clothes, work uniforms (I could never wear one), and a few other things I can't think of. What are you OCD about?

[SepherStar]

These people act like he's explaining rocket science. LOL

He is just giving an example. If you would watch the show some of you may know they have a pretty wide range of ocd fears on the show, including a lot of mental rituals and magical thinking. GEESH. Grow up!
