Can't stop cleaning

75% Normal
5 Comments

Every day when I come home from school (Student @ college) I clean my house for 2-3 hours. I vacuum, I do the dishes, I wash the floors, I sweep, I do laundry, I clean my room, I polish the wood furniture etc..

I can't focus on homework or other activities until my house is completely clean from top to bottom. That includes bathrooms, a small wrapper laying on the floor, or a dusty surface. I can't sleep sometimes and find myself cleaning my bathroom @ 2am (Windex-ing a window, wiping down a counter, cleaning the toilet, cleaning the shower)

Is this odd? Most people's homes I've been too are usually pretty tidy however I am a complete neat freak.

    That's the exact opposite of my problem. I can't stop NOT cleaning. I just procrastinate the hell out of anything that really needs to be done. I'm not trolling either. You may have OCD. I may have chronic fatigue syndrome or depression. Read up on OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) to find the symptoms and treatments for it.

      I'm just the same. Maybe the OP can come to our places...

    I was doing something sort of like that. Except it was not in my house, it was at work. XD I kept everything clean there and if there was something I was supposed to clean that day, I would obsess over it and not be able to focus until it got done. I had to juggle several tasks at the same time and in my mind I felt like I needed to get them done. A good chunk of my workday there was cleaning.

    Have you taken amphetamines?

    My cousin is the exact same way. I think it is normal for some people...
