4s and OCD

[Guest guest]

I have 4s and I don't have ocd. Here is a list of all the things that

I am " obsessive " about: eating noises, tv noises, breathing noises,

sniffing, toothbrush noises, mouse and blackberry " clicking " .

Here is a list of all the things I am non-obsessive about: cleaning,

personal hygiene, staying organized, my schedule, money, spelling,

everything in my life beside noise.

Really seriously I would love for this to be ocd. Just give me the

strongest ocd pill ever invented and my symptoms will be significantly

controlled or better right ?

I wish.

Apparently many 4s sufferers have ocd. I however, outside of noise

issues am quite non ocd. Even with the noise issues it is not uncommon

for me to forget my earplugs, even to forget how anxious eating noises

make me until I literally 5 minutes from sitting down at the table.

At my best I was fairly organized and very punctual but Martha

and Bree VanDeCamp were always distant fantasy goals. No one would

ever describe me like that. Now with two children, I pretty much take

life one day at a time and while I don't qualify for " how clean is

your house " I still wouldn't want those ladies to visit. (it's pretty

normal to have an almost full load of dirty dishes to load by the time

I unload the dishwasher).

I do like to wash my hands (once) after being away from the house or

pumping gasoline but I am easily distracted and forget sometimes.

If I have ocd I suspect 90% of the population has it.

I mean no disrespect to all of the people who suffer from 4s and ocd.

I just think I am not one of them.
