1)I dont have diagnosed OCD. I (but I have to count my money bills over and over again, even though i get the same amount, i dont feel satisfied, i feel im wrong and am making a mistake, and have to start over...but i dont do this a 'certain' number of times though like a ritual, I just do it again and again til im satisfied)(I do it more than 3 times though for sure) - is this OCD?

Also,

2)i used to have strong urges to check the mail several times a day and on the weekends. Even after i have recieved my daily mail.

but i didnt do this a certain amount of times.

and ive been able to fight the urge, and now i dont even check the mail usually at all.

hey -

K you said you dont have the DX of OCD, I think that there is a part of each

of us that gets OCD about somethings. Counting your money can just be a habit,

maybe in the past you only counted it one time and came up with the wrong amount,

so now you feel the need to count it to double check yourself. I need to have

all my money facing a certain way. I have to brush my teeth 2x before I walk out

of the house. I have difficulty with change, like things to remain the same.

Its just part of my personality.
