I worked out that sequence while ignoring my assignments in elementary school, and I've been mildly obsessed with it since.

I don't think I'm OCD, but this thread is kind of freaking me out.

[edit] I also use my fingers to count binary on each hand independently, starting from different numbers and moving them forward in lock step.

Neat. We should start a club :) And I don't think OCD is a cause for concern unless it interferes with your daily functions. I personally feel it is a plus point when it comes to problem solving and research. Apart from this, I also have intrusive thoughts mentioned somewhere else on this page but they have become less intense with time. Stuff like worrying about accidents when travelling, worrying about your loved ones etc. Fret not as long as it doesn't affect your functioning.

When I ran into the formal definition of disease in University, that definition let me discard a whole load of thoughts and worries.

It's like that pipe of nirvana and heavenly thoughts that I was basking in and drinking up heavily? Well that's a sewer pipe now. Shut your mouth and let it pass.
