Ever since I went camping towards the end of summer, I developed this compulsive feeling that I do every minute: I can't stop counting in my head while touching the ends of my fingers. Anyone else have something like this?

Biting or picking at your nails is a common compulsive thing people do without thinking about it, I do that aswell as pulling at a few strands of hair at my bangs, eventually just ripping it out by the roots, or pulling at loose threads on my clothing/furniture.

But it isn't something with my nails... I just kind of smooth down the skin on my finger, below the nail and I do it without thinking most of the time, then I realize that I've been counting the number of times I've been doing it, and try to stop.

I think its normal. If you look or touch a nu,be rof things the back of your mind counts for you. Maybe that or your just crazy.

Random days I'll have a word or phrase or something that goes through my head allll day that day in the background. I'll just suddenly realize I was repeating a word over and over and over in the background, and then be aware of it the rest of the day especially when my mind is blank.

It's a lot like that, isaac
Except I was sure that I would forget this obsession in a week or two

The only thing I have that is similar to this is biting my nails, but lots of people have it.

I have a really weird one. Whenever I am sleeping I always end up thinking of a number. When I wake up the number is still in my head.

I bite the skin around my nails and my lips.
