Writing your name on every page in the little name space given at the top of the page in a workbook. I only need to write it once, on the first page, or get a sticker and write my name on it. I always write my name in every single page in my notebooks. Some of my teachers find it weird. I guess it's an old habit. Again, it's totally unncessary. I onyl ever need to write it once. What are your opinions? Me, I think I'm just strange.
Yes, it sounds just like strange little habit and not OCD.

Meh...whatever.. not a big deal. maybe a little OCD...but its not like its hurting your day to day routine... Like opening and shutting a door 5 times before you go through it or anything. do you think that something bad will happen if you don't write it? even as small as your teacher may not know that its yours? then you're OCD
Kris L
Excuse me, but it is VERY GOOD THINKING to write your name in the 'space' for that on EVERY PAGE ... even if you don't 'tear the pages out' to turn them in, the books could 'come apart' and then you'll be the ONLY PERSON in class who is able to 'clearly identify' EVERY PAGE in his own boook. Okay, so you are 'weird' ... but it's not 'obsessive/compulsive' and it has a 'very good reason' for doing it ... so tell THAT to your teachers who 'think you are 'weird' ... they may tell everyone else to do what you do 'naturally.'

I think it's just a habit. If you can't break it yourself...find a therapist who knows some therapy to help you break it...if it's causing you problems. I don't see anything strange about it at all. Lots of people have habits ...and theirs are a lot worse than writing your name. Don't be so hard on yourself.
crystinaxxx
well, no.
i think its organized.
i have the bad habit to ALWAYS walk on the left side of everyone. for example, if me and you are walking together, i would HAVE to be on your left side. and you would be on my right. so, you tell me. :]
nursesr4evr
It just sounds like a habit. You don't express any emotion content to it, like you'll lose the notebook or something if you vary your routine. Don't worry about it.
CinnamonGirl777
i've often done the same thing...nothing weird about it...well then again i have been told i'm weird a lot
Night Owl
Could be OCD, but since it harms nobody, not even you, I don't see why it would be anything to worry about or change. Happy Writing!
TORI
Um,,, i have OCD too, but not like yours,, but no its not wierd,,, just you
kyliekissesx
I do something similar. I have to date EVERYTHING. Even if its just a piece of paper I'm scribbling on.. yep, has to have a date!
xstal_101
ur just weird, no worries

Honey, we are all "weird". That's what makes us human. It could be classified as mild OCD, but nothing to concern yourself with.
Now, washing your hands repeatedly until they bleed, or collecting all your toenail clippings.....that would be a different story!
My OCD is that I do everything in multiples of 10 - I count everything I do. Strange?

OCD is a anxiety disorder characterized by recurent, time-consuming obsessions and/or compulsions that impair the ability to function and to form relationships and are a source of significant distress.
Alaskan Beauty
Just a goofball lol. (I mean that nicely)
Bored.
I'd say just a bit odd really, everyone has silly little habits they have lol.
Jody
Unless you feel you absolutely cannot write in the workbook without your name on every single page, and it's so distracting if you don't that you can't think, then it's ocd. Otherwise, it's just a strange habit that can be broken.
carlyannef
I have OCD and from my experience with all people, and from what I have been told.
Everyone is OCD about something! Everyone has that quirky thing that they are "weird" about... makes us who we are!
OCD is diagnosed when these "rituals and thoughts" start to interfere with your everyday life. If there are no other strange thoughts or rituals that you do over and over again then you probably do not have OCD, just a cute quirk!
Good Luck!
Maggie
If that's the only repetitive thing you do, you're just weird. In a good way.

You may be OCD about writing your name, but it’s a good habit. If your name is on all pages that you turn it, it will make it less likely that a teacher can lose your work. There are a lot worse problems you could have than this. Just be yourself, and you’ll be ok.
Cathy C
I think it could be OCD IF:
You get really upset if you can't do it.
You worry that something bad will happen if you can't do it.
You can't make yourself not do it.
So, if any of those things sound like you, then maybe you do have a little touch of OCD. But, that will only be a problem if it somehow interferes with your life.

If you find yourself fretting if you fail to write your name "on every page in the little space given qiven at the top of the page in a workbook", you've got OCD. As you get older, it will get worse. OCD can become manifest in a wide variety of ways, but the root cause is basically the same. You're unable to "set aside" a problem that has been brought up to you subconsciously, so you feel that you must take action every time you think there is a such a problem, no matter how trivial. People are normally able to distinguish between problems requiring our attention and problems that can just be ignored as being too trivial, and actually do just forget about those kinds. You can't, and that's the sign of OCD.
Angela C
there are worse habits to have, don't worry about it! LOL
kay_flood
it is certainly a habit, and people out there have stranger ones than that.....wouldn't worry about it.
Apple Tart
Everyone has their little quirks. Don't worry about it!
Bubbles
its just a habit, its ok
WiserAngel
Strange only becomes OCD level when the habit starts to interfere with your life in some way. So far, it just sounds like a quirk.
belinda
I wouldn't call it weird. It's quirky. It's obsessive, it may even be compulsive, but unless it's taking over your life, it's probably not a disorder.
It's a secret
If that's your worst problem, then you are just weird, no biggie.
