| People with OCD need to repeat ideas or actions, which don't make sense, but the need to do it is very strong. The most common example is washing your hands a hundred times a day. A mild example would be the one we used to do as kids: "Step on a crack, break somebody's back." We grew out of it. Another mild one is checking a zillion times whether you turned off the stove. If you find this sort of thing continuing for too long, it's best to see a doctor or therapist about it. Severe OCD can take over your life and become disabling. |
