I count alot
    #14414259 - 05/07/11 08:46 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Im not sure if it could be anxiety or mild to low OCD. I find myself counting the letters inside words and sentences, lines in a paragraph, adding up a cluster of numbers i find, adding and multiplying the number of ceiling tiles and floor tiles, etc. Any idea to what it could be? If anything...

Sounds a bit like OCD. As long as it isn't interfering too much with your life, it's not a problem.

It takes a few seconds away from my time and causes me to lose attention constantly. It isn't really a burden but i wouldn't think twice about getting rid of it somehow with meds maybe.

I have heard that they give out SSRI's for that, although I don't know how effective that is. Maybe you should talk to a behavioral-cognitive psychologist first.

OCD.  :crymeariver:


We all have something we're "ocd" about. You want meds just because you count stuff? Wait until you actually have something wrong with you, you'll realize that most prescribed medications create more problems than they fix.  :whatever:

Do you ever notice yourself not doing it?

What if you were to stop yourself from doing it, what's your reaction (if any) to that?

I used to do the counting letters thing
did not multiply though

anyway(!)
get aware wake up to that
and everything else for that matter
it is an addiction
neurological connections to counting what you see that have grown stronger than for the majority of people
maybe they will weaken as your attention naturally gets directed to other stuff
it is an occupation
maybe thoughts will take over
that's what happened to me

what you should do IMO
instead of loading yourself with drugs
is take acid
no seriously (acid advice really serious, please do, it will help, but do not limit your changing to that)
what I mainly suggest is
get into meditation
meditation is all about getting aware and observing what goes on in your head, what you experience and do
sooo... please do get into that
you can read about it
you can just watch your breath
watch your surroundings
watch your thoughts for that matter

but since you already notice this OCD like behavior or whatever letters some psychologist wants to label it with
a very natural start for you is to direct your attention elsewhere when you notice yourself do it
gradually your usage of the counting connections (your counting (behavior)) will decline
will vanish

I used to do something similar. Once I started tripping it went away though. Maybe try some mushrooms or acid and see if it helps.

yea that definitely sounds like OCD...and I wouldn't say that we're all OCD about something.
Ok maybe I'm OCD about smoking weed but really? if you constantly do it and you notice it and it bothers you then it's a problem.
Especially since you seem to have no control over it...

sure do mushrooms though and see if it helps, if not then you got to have a good time :mushroom2:
