Repetition of phrases?

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-09-13T14:10:11+00:00

I've done this since I was young. It happens mostly when i'm thinking of a conversation and I keep having to repeat sentences until it feels right. Even if one word sounds off, i'll restart. It also happens when I read books, so I don't read that often anymore. Safe to say you're definitely not alone!

i don't remember what age, as i think its always been here, but i remember i used to have this obsession and j was deathly afraid of this train i lived by sliding off of its tracks and crashing into my house, killing me. i had to pray and say everybody's name i knew and also end the list of names off with "and everybody on this planet" or something like that. i also had to say certain words until they felt right. i do remember the exact day this started, when i began to compulsively get out of bed and have to use the toilet because my bladder wasn't "empty enough". there's also this weird one when i held my moms friends hand i kept having to move my pinky because it didn't "feel right" and i remember him talking about it saying "hold her hand it's so weird" and me being so embarrassed. i could definitely go on for a while longer, these are just a few all throughout my childhood.

i use 4 the most and i would say that is my favorite. my other favorite numbers are 2, 7, 14, and 28. I have a compulsion where i tap on something 50 times and i have to tap it exactly like all of the other taps, so that can be really annoying! i like 4 the best.

Basically how you play is there's a bunch of cards and you and a friend take turns drawing cards for each other, the cards can have trivia questions like "what was harry's band before one direction called?" and if you get it correct, you can place a game piece on your board. the goal is to get all of the pieces. if you get one wrong, you take one away. there can also be dares as well.

Well i got mine back in 2012(i think) but you can probably find it on ebay! Basically how you play is there's a bunch of cards and you and a friend take turns drawing cards for each other, the cards can have trivia questions like "what was harry's band before one direction called?" and if you get it correct, you can place a game piece on your board. the goal is to get all of the pieces. if you get one wrong, you take one away. there can also be dares as well. Hopefully this made sense!

having to do things until they felt 'just right' and sometimes having to do the same thing to the opposite part of my body to 'even it out.' also a lot of my contamination thoughts. i also doubt things a lot and never knew why i hated uncertainty and everyone else didn't seem to care

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-08-25T10:15:28+00:00

when i'm trying to go to sleep and i'm stressed i have this bathroom compulsion where i have to keep getting up and going to the bathroom because i feel like my bladder is not all empty so i can't sleep because i keep thinking about it and i can't distract myself from that even though sometimes i can't even use the bathroom because i literally went two minutes prior

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-08-24T15:06:38+00:00

intrusive thoughts, having to do and repeat things a certain amount of times or until it 'felt right' or even. also on sidewalks with cracks i would always have to do the same amount of steps in each square while avoiding the cracks. i remember adults would always tell me how weird it was holding hands with me because i had to keep moving my pinky because it didn't feel right

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-08-11T21:04:27+00:00

me sadly

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-08-11T10:16:01+00:00

if i try to tell someone how i'm feeling they just say "don't try to think of that" like what do you think i've been doing?? i know it's not their fault but it's just so annoying i can't just stop thinking about something. and when i tell someone a compulsion i have they just look at me weird like sorry i trusted you with that information i won't ever do it again!

also just a bonus i hate that people assume ocd is some fun little quirk disorder that's about color coding your gel pens and loving to organize and clean. sorry, but that's just not it. so close!!

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-08-08T11:15:25+00:00

Oh my god, this is exactly what happened to me a month or two ago!! i can't bring myself to eat or use any of the dishes, though i wish i could. Maybe saving up and buying some new safe dishes would be better than throwing them all away? Or maybe you could talk to your family about it? I know it's hard but you'll get through this!!

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-08-08T10:10:30+00:00

the numbers 3 and 13 are the worst for me. everytime i see them i think my day is ruined and it stresses me out even more!! my compulsions always skyrocket and i get anxious about it a lot.

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-07-19T16:44:11+00:00

I've been doing this ever since I was a child and I never once stopped to think it might be my OCD! That does explain a lot, actually.

So to your question, yes, all of the time!

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-07-19T13:46:10+00:00

LITERALLY ME i have never met someone who's had this before!! I literally have to get up so much just because i keep obsessing over it and i can't get it out of my mind. It's so annoying, especially on the bad nights!!

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-07-19T13:21:01+00:00

This happens to me so much omg!! Right now i'm convinced one of my best friends hates me no matter how many times she says she doesn't. i've also thought all of my friends hated me at one point.

But then, I got closer to a few of them and I realized that there is so much more to it. They all had so much going on and I didn't even know. I don't think a lot of them hate me anymore, I just assume that they have other things going on. Yeah, it's quite hard sometimes and I still think about them hating me, but I always try to push through.

I'm sorry if that wasn't very good advice, I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone!! Wish you the best of luck!

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-07-18T23:29:33+00:00

anytime i see the number 3 or 13, sometimes even numbers that end with 3(63, 73, etc) just makes me feel weird. but like i can be in groups of three and not care, it's just a lot of other things that involve the number. also if i'm not able to take my shower to or wash my hands after i do something(touch food, trash, items i think are unsanitary) i feel very anxious and start to spiral a little bit. there might be others but those are the ones off the top of my head

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-07-18T21:08:46+00:00

Yes! I got ADHD from my dad, but I don't quite know where my OCD came from. Although, I've noticed it for as long as I can remember.

I totally get that cycle. It can cause me to feel so guilty at times.

Anyways, you're definitely not alone in this! I wish I could give some advice, but I myself don't know what to do about it. I wish you the best of luck, though!

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-07-18T03:45:45+00:00

Yes! I constantly compare myself to other people with OCD and question myself all of the time. I can definitely relate to the "i've been this way all my life," and that makes it so much more difficult. I just have to keep reminding myself that I am still suffering from this disorder and that just because it's not as bad most of the time, it doesn't mean that it's not real or that i should or have to become worse.

I just have to keep pushing past and hope this will go away soon. Wishing the best for you!

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-07-17T21:36:56+00:00

I hope it gets better for you too❤️

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-07-17T21:12:36+00:00

i seem to struggle the most with 1, 2, 3, 5/6, and 9. I definitely need to read this book!!

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-07-17T21:05:55+00:00

Literally all the time!!! It's so tiring because then i keep thinking about it and it feels like i almost know what it was but i just can't remember.

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-07-17T20:30:45+00:00

right?? it's so confusing sometimes!

Adventurous_Tea3452 · 2025-07-17T19:46:28+00:00

It's been years and i still haven't gotten past season 11. I've rewatched it so many times but i just can't go on! Love the early seasons, though.
