This thread is certainly reminding me of one of my favorite cartoons. Not about OCD but close enough.

“It doesn’t matter what the problem is, the solution is always for us to give the government more money and power, while we eat less meat.”
Glenn Reynolds
You know, when you paste a target and the paster doesn't quite cover the hole? I have to put on another paster, even if it's a target someone else already pasted.
Do you guys have OCD, or are you just really particular?
I had a guy who worked for me, who would spend every break/lunch washing his hands. It was bad enough that we actually needed another sink in the restroom to accommodate him. We were in a factory, that we got mildly dirty, but watching a guy spend 30 minutes cleaning his fingernails makes me think nothing mentioned here is serious
You want the harshest truth? I don’t like pasted targets. If I wanted to shoot at someone else’s target, I’d shoot at an angle across the range and piss people off.
And if we are going to paste. Can we get pasters that are the same color as the cardboard?! I swear cardboard targets have been the same color my whole life. Yet for some reason, pasters are different colors.
OCD runs a whole gamut of expression but it’s truly a “disorder” when it frequently interrupts your thoughts and focus.
The Yale-Brown Obessive-Compulsive Scale (YBOCS) is frequently used to categorize OCD tendencies and help diagnose patients. https://www.addictionsandrecovery.or...cale-ybocs.pdf
OCD also comes and goes to a degree. The score you have today could be lower than after a few days of rest or enough sleep. It’s important to recognize that Obsessive tendencies are really just an evolutionary check. You need to be obsessive about somethings (food and water). To the point you survive. It’s very important overall.
I have a whole pile of YBOCS sheets I fill them out regularly to help myself with my own cognitive behavior therapy. There are times where I’ve had YBOCS scores in the 40s and others where I’ve had them in the teens. With proper therapy and treatment many of these things can go away. It is most often misplaced anxiety.
