Yep, it's a long story, but I might as well share. My OCD ~10 or so years ago was so bad, it would be enough to make the likes of Mark Gregory, Vincent Rowlings, and Chad Mills blush.

My pet peeve was seeing food thrown away that was not symmetrical in shape. e.g. a pizza that has 3 out of 8 slices eaten (therefore, not either all eaten or 50% eaten). I was dumpster diving a lot, ate myself sick many times. One time, my roommate threw away a pizza with 3 slices remaining; a week later, I took the pizza box outside of the garbage can, brushed away the roaches and ants, microwaved it, and ate it. I've gotten myself physically sick, such that eventually, it took care of the mental aspect of the pain.

Of course, I've had counseling and medication, still on those now. My doctor and I tried to go off them about a year or so ago, but it was unsuccessful; without them, I would be one of these unsubs in real life.
