Hi,
I have weird obsessions, but I'm not sure if it's a cause for concern-- or if I should bring them up to my therapist. I can't type normally, or write, or just simply touch something without getting the urge to crack my knuckles. It's as if I have to hear my bones crack for me to be happy. It can hurt a lot sometimes! But I go insane if I don't do it. Sometimes I crack my ankles, shoulders, neck-- anything I have found ways to pop, I do. Sometimes it's different, and I just have to touch stuff a certain way or a certain amount of times. Sometimes when I'm writing on lined paper, I have to count the lines from a point and mark it. If I'm listening to music and I become nostalgic, I want the room I'm in at that time to be just the way it was when the event happened. It's like it just has to be perfect.
Thanks for the answers, everyone.
Along with the feelings, I want to get back to the times I've lived before, and that can mess with a lot of things. Like purging-- I purge to feel thin, and I like to be reminded of the time when it all started (and I was happy then!). It's not always about weight loss. Is that still the same thing?
