Hello people. There is sth wrong with me
and I wonder whether if any of you guys
experience it. I am 28 now and it started
when I was 13. When I get bored or I get
stressed or I cannot sleep at night, I
start counting the syllables of song
lyrics, of the sentences people talk to
me, even the sentences I tell people. I
try to find out if the total number of
syllables is odd or even. If it is odd, I
repeat it in my mind, and it gets even.
(two times an odd number is even). Doing
this I also move my chin very slightly to
right and left, so that it is easier to
find out if the sentence finishes with odd
or even number of syllables.
It is very annoying, sometimes I can
hardly concentrate what people are talking
about.
What is this guys, any idea?

I put the letters into pairs when watching
tv, talking etc - it can get really out of
hand & it is ocd, you may find that
you have other sympotms as well - go to
google and type in ocd (obsessive
compulsive disorder) and do some research.

Thank you guys, this made great help, I
think I will get some professional help
for ocd therapy.
Definitely ocd. I have it too, tho I
don't do the syllables. I have "made up"
spasms in my arms and legs. Yeah, weird
I know. Anyways, yes we "do have all of
our little odd quirks" yet youve gotta
draw the line somewhere. When you start
to feel like this thought/feeling is
always in your mind and that you are
constantly thinking about it whenever
reminded then that is when you can safely
call it obsessive compulsive disorder.
However, you can try to cure it without
seeing a doctor, although it is extremely
hard. Ive done it...But my mom reminded
me of my little quirk and I just started
it back up again a month ago and im about
to kill my mother.
