dynasty 14 Posted April 18, 2012 Lol at Fred Durst... Fred Durst: Fred Durst has talked a lot of $%&^ in his time, but he tries to be private about his OCD, only saying that it made touring "hell." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scotty 1 Posted April 18, 2012 This is great people coming out about things like this can only help other suffers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kinser 3 Posted April 18, 2012 Interesting - some of those I knew about, but many I did not! Although I've never been formally diagnosed, I am a excessive-cleaner, so I know I definitely exhibit symptoms of this disorder. It's comforting to know there are other (successful) people who face the same difficulties. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
char2011 1 Posted April 20, 2012 I think that this is really good that people are coming out and letting this problem being known more. It really helps people with it realize that they are not the only ones with it. I feel like its a really good thing that awareness is being brought to it.

Urban Legend 0 Posted April 21, 2012 I was unaware of Fred Durst having OCD. It makes since come to think about it. He is an interesting pop culture figure and his music reminds me of junior high. Aw the good old days! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shaun 6 Posted April 21, 2012 Does Steven Gerrard have Obsesssive Compulsive Disorder? I noticed in a documentary that he said he was obsessive with hand cleaning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Urban Legend 0 Posted April 23, 2012 I think Steven Gerrad does have OCD. I think hand cleaning is considered a symtom especially if they do it a certain number of times before they do anything else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gilly 1086 Posted April 23, 2012 Yes, yes he does. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shaun 6 Posted April 24, 2012 Yes, yes he does. That is incredible. I see it on an ESPN programme following a year in his life, it was a fascinating programme. He mentioned his obsessiveness a few times, but with a humerous tone, so I didn't actually think he has OCD. The programme is called Steven Gerrard: A Year In My Life - Worth watching if you haven't seen it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magickitty 0 Posted May 5, 2012 Thanks for the link - very interesting to read, and like others have said, it's always nice to know when you have something in common with famous people. If they can deal with the problem enough to be successful, so can I. I knew about a few of the names on the list (Howie Mandel, Woody Allen and Howard Stern), but I didn't know about the majority of them. I can relate to Billy Bob Thornton regarding the counting thing. I'm always counting and adding things up in my head. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
