Back to top JointCracker Posted: Sun Apr 30, 2006 9:56 pm    Post subject: Administrator Joined: Nov 23, 2005 Posts: 196 I cannot identify with these symptoms. I never had panic attacks nor does long distance running increase my desire to crack joints. Panic attacks are thus not a core symptom of Jointcracktitis. These two sicknesses are to be treated separately. Treating one won't cure the other.

Junior Jointcracker Joined: Aug 11, 2006 Posts: 6 I have some OCD symptoms, which I believe are correlated to my cracking habits. I wonder if other avid crackers have OCD or OCD-like symptoms and if the two are related??? Some of the things I do are chew food the same number of times on each side of my mouth before swallowing, the TV volume has to be on an odd number, I only eat chips and other snack items in pairs (if only one is left over I can't eat it), I avoid cracks, but if I step on them with one foot I have to step on another crack of similar width with the opposite foot to "even" me out. I carry out a normal happy life but these few things really irk me! lol. Back to top crackomat Posted: Fri Sep 08, 2006 7:07 pm    Post subject: Junior Jointcracker Joined: Sep 08, 2006 Posts: 2 Seriously, I do not have any of the disorders you bare referring to. With me, joint cracking is just a physical necessity and it eases out lots of tension of a bad day. Often, when I am worried about the sheer size of a task in hand, I crack and that helps me focus on core things! Back to top JointCracker Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2006 9:39 pm    Post subject: Administrator Joined: Nov 23, 2005 Posts: 196 I do believe joint cracking has psychological (OCD) and physiological addiction elements. The individual characteristics of both are probably just not the same for everyone. It seems, if you are already strained by OCD behaviors, it is only a small step to pick up joint cracking and add it as "yet" another compulsion to your set of compulsive behaviors. In such, joint popping appears to (sadly) have ideal OCD properties. Personally however, other than joint cracking, I have no other OCD behaviors that I am aware about.

I'm manic-depressive and when my state of mind gets bad my OCD-style behaviours get worse and worse. Cracking is one of those, also easier to indulge without people noticing that you're acting like a complete freak Back to top lady_crackster Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2006 4:18 pm    Post subject: Jointcracker Joined: Oct 27, 2006 Posts: 12 i get the hiccups pretty often. ooooooh...coincidence? i think not. _________________ ..........the trick is to keep breathing........... Back to top lilibou85 Posted: Fri Nov 10, 2006 8:53 am    Post subject: OCD! Junior Jointcracker Joined: Nov 09, 2006 Posts: 4 Location: England, UK I can completely relate to the OCD sufferer (mozrox) and reading that post made me so happy that I'm not the only one! I have to even myself out if I step on a crack in the pavement, if I click one hand I have to click the other, my volume has to be even (not odd like mozrox!), I have to move round people clockwise (if I go anticlockwise it stays with me and I have to right it), pretty much anything that happens to one side of me, I need it to happen to the other side. I can't even wear a ring on one finger without wearing one on the same finger on the other hand. I line up the chips when I'm playing poker, line up chocolates on a plate, have a particular method to eating (although I don't count chews), and other OCD tendencies which are maddening to me as well as others. I had wondered if this was at all related to my cracking, or at least my inability to give it up. I do also feel the "pressure", there's no pain or anything it's just... as if I know the joint is ready to crack, and it doesn't feel right until I've cracked it. Don't know if anyone else relates to this? Back to top Blaze Posted: Thu Jan 24, 2008 4:38 am    Post subject: Re: OCD and cracking?

For me, 4 seems to me to be a number that i have to something or 2. Like if i spin around one way - i have to spin back around the other way. Sometimes if i do something with my left hand - then it has to be - right, right, left.
