In reply to Strange thoughts- is this OCD or something else???, posted by PsychoPharmaFiender on February 2, 2006, at 20:13:37
Mind you, that's only based on that one symptom, and if you do it to the extent that it impairs your functioning, then that's another subject. But what you've described here isn't a disorder, so much as a variant on counting feathers on the hats in church!
Sure, there are disorders that can have that sort of symptom -- I do similar things a lot, though not that one -- but if it's not interfering with your life, then I think you're starting to focus a bit much on your mental illness, rather than you mental health.
I hope that helps, and good luck.
