OCD

 

You can't sit on a chair if it doesn't allow you to cross your legs or sit strangely. When you put ice in a drink, it has to have 8 ice cubes in it, four if it's a small cup. Never, EVER open a door yourself. Avoid LOOKING at doors at all costs. Car doors don't count. Exactly four pumps of soap every time you wash your hands. When chewing, chew each bite in even numbers. You know... 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, etc. Cut your food in half, and then half again (and again and again). Don't step on the sidewalk cracks. If you do, step on another with the opposite foot in the exact same place. Keep it even. If you're eating with a fork, don't let the food touch your lips. Only use a spoon when you ABSOLUTELY can't use a fork. Cross your legs and rhythmically tap your foot against your ankle bone. Count. Stack your books just so. And when it all starts to overwhelm you, hold yourself together, hug your own shoulders, and squeeze till it's over and your heart stops racing.
