I use to have OCD when I was a kid.

Not sure if this will help anyone, but when I was a kid I remember having OCD.
The feeling of dread or something bad would happen if I didn't do certain things say 4 times or 8 times, or I would have to walk around a crack or pole a certain direction. If not, the feeling something bad would happen.

Not sure when it started, I would guess when I was like 8 years of age. I did have a very bad fever to the point I heard voices in my head, I wonder today if that was the cause of the OCD.

I managed to stop this OCD eventually, maybe when I was like 14 or so, after talking to my mom about it.
I told myself God is in control and he isn't going to let something bad happen to me and I know what I am doing makes no logical sense either.

I would also purposely force myself to not follow the repeating of things or purposely walk the wrong way around a pole or crack. Yes the feeling something bad would happen was there, but I just pushed it aside because I knew it was all in my mind and God is in control.

It has been a long time since I got past that, I am 45 now, and at times I still feel that in my brain at times, but I can control it easily.

I thought I would share my little story, thanks.
