In my experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), I have many actions that I compulsively perform. This is a common symptom of OCD, and for me, it is usually tapping/touching objects a certain number of times. However, I have also found another compulsive behavior I often perform, and would like to know if you also experience this.

I have found that I sometimes tap out a certain beat on objects around me. It is always the same, and often repeats itself. My beat goes something like this: do do-do do-do, do do-do do-do, do do-do do-do, do do-do do-dooooooooooo. I have no idea if this is something others with OCD experience, as it is based solely on my life and symptoms. I often tap out this beat when I am feeling extremely anxious or agitated.

I have no idea if this is symptom of my OCD, or if it is related to my ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder). I strongly suspect that it is connected to my OCD, however, as it seems to be compulsive.

Usually I do this subconsciously, though I have begun to notice it. I would love to know if others are experiencing something similar, and what their personal ‘beat’ is!

Love, Hope and Anxiety,
