Obsessive-compulsive disorder?

[Nikolas]

Well I just thought of something.

for the past two years that I have internet in my home (for the first time), I tend to check my e-mails every half an hour or something... Talk about phycho there. Like if I miss an e-mail I won't be alive tomorrow or something... Same with forums...

The above actually is only controlled by my work. If I work I shut everything off, and I can go on in days without it, but then I'm simply... back. In short I post daily lots of posts (not only here of course).

I'll clear my nose just before I go bed, because I'm a light sleeper with a history of breathing problems. (Asthma, hyperventilating) So I like the nasal passage to be as clear as possible.

A whole thread about nose picking hehe!

I also feel a compulsion to twist my wrists so they make a clicking noise. I tend to feel like they need excersise so I do that and they're okay... same with my feet.

OCD is a serious condition that interferes significantly in your daily life.

Checking 6 times to make sure the iron is off every day is not OCD.  It's might be compulsive or obsessive, but it isn't a disorder.

I also stalk random people

Actually Tuomas, I caught you doing it at Visys place. But that's okay, I do it too. Takes a ninja to spot a ninja.

Oh shit

I developed this obsessive need to save because of many accidents where my computer crashed and I lost everything, so I guess that's not so bad.

It must have something to do with the few times I forgot to save my files and then my computer accidently crashed or something, causing me to lose hours of work. Since then, I press "Ctrl + S" constantly, even when I didn't really do anything to the picture.

Exactly the same here. Let me guess: you both used windows 95/98 for a long time? 

I also do that reload thing, but I'm not so obsessive about it.

Someone compared it to inserting a new cartridge in a pen after writing one sentence.

How ever did you guess? 

I just thought of something else I do unnecessarily and with a compulsion. If you play Counter-strike, you know what I'm talking about. In that game you press "Q" to switch back to a secondary weapon, incase you run out of ammo in your primary weapon. But for some reason, my fingers keep pressing Q incessantly every few seconds even when I don't need to, which causes me to be switching guns while enemies run out from the corners and kill me.

I try to tell myself to stop pressing Q for no reason, but I can't help myself.

Now this...is OCD!

Like progZ wrote in a previous post, don't be so fast adding yourself a label.

Most of the disorders (outside of phobias) can't really get self-diagnose. If you had a real OCD - you were actually posting something more like "my friends are stupids they can't stop telling me that I'm impossible, and now my mum want me to see a psychiatrist. They don't realize how much [choose a compulsion eg.: nose-picking, cleaning hands oftenly...] are important/necessary."

The only thing I can diagnose about you... is a small medicine-student-syndrome. In a daily basis, humans do thousands and thousands of actions. If you start focusing and doing an exhaustive list,  you surely going to discovered a lot of 'signs of disorders'.

Like any of us will find, if  doing the same.
