4

It all started when I was born. Thats right, at 1 minute past 1 in the morning on the 4th of the 4th 1997. It’s like a sign, I was born to have this condition. (I am so not going to obsess over that)

So, as you can imagine, the number 4 has been a very important number to me. All my life, my favourite number has been 4. I love 4. And slowly but surely that number has gone from being my favourite number that I like, to my favourite number I can’t live without.

The number 4 makes me feel comfortable, takes away all the badness, makes things perfect. I don’t quite know when the obsession started, but over the years I have realised that I like to count to 4. Every step 1…2…3…4 and all of the steps after that. 1…2…3…4. When I got through the TV guide, I take it 4 channels at a time. Before I do anything I will count to 4. And if something can’t be done in 4s for whatever reason, it can be done in 2 sets of 2. I don’t care as long as I get that 4 in.

Do you have a number you obsess with? I’m sure I’m not the only one, it is incredibly common for someone with OCD to have a number they obsess over.

I hope you enjoyed this post all to do with a single number. Hopefully it didn’t bore you too much.
