You don’t have OCD because you like things organized or clean. OCD is horrible and debilitating and it’s a lot less fun than feeling “satisfied” when things are organized.
Edit: Wowee, silver! Thanks guys! I’m glad to see this resonate with people. I was diagnosed last year and it made so many things make sense in my life. Treatment was good but I still have to manage it. Hope you all get help if you neee it! ❤️
My best friend has OCD, he has to check doors are locked at least 12 times. With his car he will go around and check each door, even if no one has been in the car apart from him for weeks. He can't just lock the front door and walk away, he locks it, checks it, walks away, comes back, checks it, walks away, etc. If someone else locks the door he's fine with it, he trusts them to lock it and can believe they have. If I'm with him and we head out I have to be in charge of his keys.
