Obsessive cleaning

57% Normal
6 Comments

I get headaches and I can't think straight until everything in my apartment is cleaned up immaculately. I can't stand dirty people, and I find myself constantly rushing to clean up after other peoples messes. I also get very angry while things are dirty and my entire mood changes until I reorganize and put things back where they are supposed to go. Would this be considered obsessive compulsive or another psychological disorder?

    Sounds like OCD if its a problem you should ask your doctor about it and see if you could get a referral to see someone. Most types of OCD like this can be treated with medication and some conditioning therapy that will reduce the need for medication.

    Sounds like my mom. You could eat off her toilet seat it's so clean. I'm not like that, but I can't relax in a dirty house. My sister-in-law house is filthy. Last time we were there I couldn't stand it and started cleaning. I filled a 50 gallon trash bag FULL of trash from her kitchen alone. Disgusting.

    Makes me thing about Emma on Glee. Anyhoo! I'm like that too, and I think it's normal not to like when your place's not clean: indeed who would wish to wake up in a very messy room? This obsession should be seen as a quality: that means you are organized and this is really good. But then that's only my opinion! :)

    You should come to my school. My room at college is a wreck. I think you probably have OCD
