I must. There is no way around it. Here are some of my oddities:
1) If my hands are greasy from eating or have something sticky on them, I feel the need to wash them before I use my knife or go driving (because I don't want to get it on the steering wheel or shiftknob).
2) If I'm lying down and my shirt is bunched up a little or there is any little thing wrong, I have to fix it or else there is no way I can go to sleep.
3) I can never relax, I always have to be fully prepared for everything (if I'm on a long car ride as a passenger, I would never take my shoes off. I also don't unpack on vacations, even long ones).
4) If there is something wrong with something I own, such as a chipped blade on my knife, I can never be happy with it again and need a new one.
5) If something happens while I'm driivng, like hitting a pothole, grinding gears etc, I obssess about it and I can't stop thinking about it on occasion until days after.
6) If I think about something, I have to do it. Yeah, it's probably the weirdest part. But if I hear a song in my head, I have to whistle a part of it, no matter what the situation, quietly if I have to. Sometimes if I'm typing, I decide I need to press backspace, and I'll do it a few times at the expense of re-typing what I wrote. Or sometimes I have the urge to clench my jaw or something along those lines or else I think about wanting to do it until I give in.
7) I'll write one word over and over again on paper for no apparent reason (also very creepy).
8) I'm very obsessive. I become obsessed with TV shows on and off. Sometimes I'll be craving the X-Files for a couple of months, and right now it's the old Star Wars movies and the Twilight Zone.
9) I cannot STAND losing things, even if I don't care about them. The other day I lost a cheap junk ruler at school and it bothered me all day until I found it.
10) I have a craving/guilt complex. I always feel the need to peel out or just quickly accelerate in my car, and every so often I will, but then I'll feel guilty because it's not good for the car and it's juvenile/stupid/pointless.
Thought I'd share. I've just recently self-diagnosed myself with this (and other have told me I have it)
I guess it's not that bad...I'll have good condition knives, clean hands, a nice gearbox, and I'll become very good at writing words
