Hello there im new here and new to forums also.
Basically ever since i was about 9 ive had rituals that ive had to do.
I was bullied a little from the ages of 9 to 11 and hated school.
I never told anyone about this.
This is what i believed triggered my rituals.
Basically when i touch something i have to touch it with the other hand or i feel "Un-Equal" and i believe something terrible will happen.
Everything has to be even numbers , like if i scratch my right cheek i have to scratch my left one after it.
I also have to touch the floor a lot and the back of my shoe.
I only noticed how severe it was when i watched a video tape of a kickboxing lesson i took part in (Im a Martial Artist and OCD has transferred into that such as running equal steps,equal numbers of punches etc) anyway in the lesson i noticed i constantly touched the floor when i was able to and lifted my foot up and touched it.
Anyway...
Does this equal numbers thing mean anything like Psycologically?
Cheers Ste
