Not all of my OCD stuff is related to numbers, but most of it is. Whenever I am confronted with a choice of numbered items, such as on a menu or stove settings, I feel compelled to choose only from a subset of numbers that is dependent on my age. Yes, I am fully aware that this is not rational and must sound completely nuts. It's a mental illness. I am no more able to explain WHY I have to do this than why I need to be paraplegic. Did that answer the question? @Sophie. Not all of my OCD stuff is related to numbers, but most of it is.

Yes, I am fully aware that this is not rational and must sound completely nuts. It’s a mental illness. I am no more able to explain WHY I have to do this than why I need to be paraplegic.

Did that answer the question?
