I got OCD, I can’t pass my mailbox on my way home without opening it (And I know there is no mail) Thats just one example. And I’m serious. Is it that Kind of OCD you are talking about?
I belive I have bi-polar disorder, it’s were you have mood swings. One day I can be happy(I think), and the next day I can be angry. Every time I sleep, the next day is like using the subdivide fractal in blender, you never know what your going to get. I don’t belive I can feel emotions, like happiness, because I can play a game with a friend, or go do something cool or neat, and I feel no gradification. And I always seem to have this pain all over my body, but I realize over-all that I have great conditions compared to many the world over.
I’ve got a continual need to diverse from schoolwork by modelling - my mother’s banned me from my computer from that effect - I’m just using the school’s computer now.

i dont have ocd,
i am a chronic procrastanator.
not proud but hey what can i say. if there is something ihave to do, and i dont want to do it, i generally dont till the last minute.
bad habit but you cant break it. like right now, i should be doing homework, but i am posting here, about the disorder.
Severe procrastination or ADD can also cross over into computer addiction. In this instance the individual has a compulsion to surf the web or play video games. Although internet addiction is a relatively new phenomenon, it is already being considered as a valid psychiatric diagnosis by mental health professionals.
The only thing I can think of that is remotely like OCD for me, is hitting Ctrl+S or Ctrl+W to save my work. I do it in almost any saving enabled program and almost between every operation completed.
From a psychology point of view, none of these examples are OCD. Checking the mailbox is simply a habit.
I have a process that I go through when I’m on the computer consisting of quickly checking my email, then usually facebook, and then this forum. Even if I have just checked my mail a minute before, and it’s 2AM so there’s no reason I would have anything new, I’ll still check it out of habit.
OCD requires an obsession and a compulsion. The best example I can think of comes from what kit89 mentioned. There are plenty of people who have to wash (either their hands or their entire bodies generally) constantly. This person would have an obsession of needing their hands to be clean at all times, and a compulsion to wash their hands in order to satisfy the obsession.
The condition is also accompanied by a strictly regimented process when acting out the compulsion. For example, I once read a case study about a person that had to shower about every hour, and would always have to remove his or her clothing in an exact order, laying it all out on precise locations on the bed. After the shower was done and he or she was dry, the person would have to put the clothing (or sometimes new clothing) back on in exactly the opposite order as it was removed. If the person felt the slightest hint that the process was messed up the whole thing would be started over.
I hope this doesn’t come across as a psych lecture.
