Kayak Fishing
The key features of this disorder include
obsessions (persistent, often irrational, and seemingly uncontrollable
thoughts) and compulsions
(actions which are used to neutralize the obsessions). A good example
of this would be an individual who has an uncontrollable desire to put
things
in their proper order. For instance, a fisherman who hangs his lures on
a wall in sections according to their saltwater/freshwater use, size,
shape,
color, and lure brand. In order to feel better, this individual checks
his wall daily to make sure that nothing has moved or is out of place
since
the last time he checked. For these behaviors to constitute OCD, it
must be disruptive to everyday functioning (such as compulsive checking
and
adjusting of lures before leaving the house making you extremely late
for all or most appointments, or inability to perform everyday functions
like
work or school because of the obsessions or compulsions).
