A post to celebrate a big achievement (for me) today... I've posted a couple of threads on here to discuss my OCD and how it is severely effecting my gaming, to the point that I sold my PS4 and Xbox 360 because I was getting ridiculous anxiety and restarting everything the moment anything triggered it.

WELL, I kept my PS Vita, and for the first time in a VERY long time, I've managed to complete a game without restarting. Three games actually. Played through Hotline Miami, Hotline Miami 2 and Tearaway, and despite a couple of moments of wavering anxiety I got through all three of them without restarting.

It isn't a big thing for many gamers, but it feels like climbing over a mountain for me. Here is to the next three games.

Can you explain how OCD relates to you restarting games.

Sorry if my question doesn't make sense to you. Just trying to understand. :)

As someone who suffers from minor OCD tendencies I am glad that you were able to overcome it. Sometimes my completionist mentality overwhelms me to the point where I stop playing games for a few days.

More than likely a death or imperfect run forced him to restart. The thing with OCD is that it varies from person to person from the actual action to the severity of the action.

congratulations! Might seem trivial to many, but I am sure it was no simple task.

How is your OCD in more everyday tasks?
