Does anyone with OCD count or balance...

Yeh I've heard of counting letters in words too. Sounds really annoying! Just sent you an email, and got an automated response from a spam blocker, heh.

Yeup, I do this. I've had OCD ever since I can remember. Started when I was really young. I remember repeating the words of my parents, or anyone. I'd repeat everything in my head. Then it progressed to whispering it and chattering the syllables on my teeth. I never thought of it back then, thought it must have been something we all do. Anyway that's how it started for me. I'll take you up on that email. :)
