OCD

Something struck me today during my dawn walk; I am so used to going after my routine, perhaps I never gave importance to this before. I realized it how troubled I am when my routine is disturbed. Do you all feel the same way?

Like instance I can’t walk without my music. I am addicted to it. I generally do about twenty rounds in the park (ten clockwise and ten anti-clockwise, so I don’t miss the count). I didn’t realize that my iPod was running out of charge, with the little charge what I had; I was able to finish 10 rounds. After that boom! It stopped. Though I know I am yet to finish the remaining ten rounds, I just couldn’t do it. I stopped walking and compellingly returned back home.

Likewise, I have some other set habits:

I can’t miss my morning cup of coffee and it has to be in the same coffee mug.

I need to have a newspaper with my coffee and I have to sit in my favorite place (next to the window).

I have to keep all my belongings in the usual place. I feel very uncomfortable if the location has changed. I’ll only be relieved when I put them back to the same place.

When I go to the gym I need to use the treadmill first. I can only start my workout after running on the treadmill. I am very annoyed if I don’t find a treadmill free and can never start any other workout.

When I board the cab, I would like to sit in my usual place (corner side). I get very irritated to be a sandwich in the middle.

On my bed I can only sleep on my side, I can never sleep on the other side.

Even my watches, footwear and bags follow with the set of clothes that I wear. I will never club with the other ones.

I don’t know if it’s good to be addictive on your habit. I wonder if these symptoms are said to be OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder).
