    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

I always have to have my keys and wallet in my left pocket, and my phone in my right pocket (and if I have a cold I also have to keep my tissues in my right pocket).

I used to have bad hand washing OCD where I'd touch a wall and have to wash my hands.

I have to keep the adjustable bezel on my diving watch at 12:00.

I have to wash in the shower in the same order every time. I also have to clean my teeth before I was my face every morning and night.

When I'm lifting I have to wait until the seconds hand on the clock is at 6:00 or 12:00 before starting my next set.

I also do this, but only when I'm timing my rest periods.

Hanging those shirts the same way sure is a biggy. Also the coat hanger has to be 'facing' in. My pillow slip has to have the opening facing outwards and the part of the pillow slip that that tucks over the pillow can never be under the top flap....that make sense?

Also weight plates must be facing outwards if they are the type that have one flat side. Man I hate it when I see pics of ppl squatting etc with plates facing inwards. Darn irritating.
