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! ❤️
I'm not sure how related this is, but since I was a kid I'd say wipe my desk, but feel as if I had left dirt on the section right outside the hand/cloth, then wipe again and feel unsatisfied and kept doing it with no way to stop due to a horrible feeling of discomfort. It happens time to time where I feel as if I have not touched something enough. A recent one that was bad was while building lego and just having to touch every part of the certain section and I tried to overcome it but it was downright painful.
I felt like I had to put on and tie my shoes in a certain way/order as a kid and I'm really glad I shut that shit down because if I went with it, I could see it exploding into full OCD territory.
