I'm french. Therefore, english and me are not that friendly sometimes. My apologies.

Ahhhhh je comprende.

You missed my humor. People who insist on things being "just so" suffer from OCD (maybe).

Peace and comfort,

I'm thinking i might have it. Any kind of treatments to *cure* this? I tried talking about it to a psychologist and talking doesnt help. I get it, i just want to get *out* of it, if i can.

Thanks.

You need to talk to a psychiatrist instead of a psychologist. The psychiatrist is a therapist who does cognitive therapy and it takes a long time to learn to live with OCD which is the only way to reduce it's impacts (the more you stress about it, the worse it gets.) The psychologist is an MD who medicates for mental disorders (many times it takes both professionals to get straightened out.)

If a mild case, such as just checking twice before you leave to make sure the door is locked, don't bother. Use it by choosing an occupation where attention to details is important.

Rituals can be healthy or unhealthy. If you insist on eating a healthy breakfast every day, and get up twenty minutes early in order to have time to do so, there's nothing wrong with that.

If you wash your hands a hundred times a day, that's unhealthy and needs treatment.
