O.C.D.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: "An anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry, by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing anxiety, or by a combination of thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions)... is often used in an informal or caricatured manner to describe someone who is meticulous, perfectionistic, absorbed in a cause, or otherwise fixated on something."

This, ^, is me in a nut shell. I've known most of my life (it's not that hard to spot it) that I was weird and my roommates are starting to notice, too.

Example: I hate their room. It's filthy and even when they do clean it, it's not my kind of clean and there's little imperfections everywhere and it almost makes it worse because I sit there and have to block out the thought  to clean.

Example: our kitchen gets very messy. Not quite so filthy (I'm not that bad of a germaphobe) but just cluttered and unorganized and it bugs the crap out of me. I am writing this at 2:50 because I was doing homework in the kitchen and couldn't concentrate because things were out of order.

Example: when I get bored after I come home from class, I clean. The past couple of days we've been out of dishwashing detergent, therefore, our dishwasher was full of dirty dishes. So, of course, I proceeded to empty all the dirty dishes into the sink and hand wash every single dirty dish in this house, dry them, and put them away.

I'm sick. I can sit here and think of more examples but it's late, I'm dead tired, and I have class tomorrow.
Good Night.
