    I don't think I have OCD, but my parents and friends are serious about saying I have, so let's talk about my experience.

    I think OCD and cleanliness are almost unrelated. I don't want to keep the place where I live spotless, but I want to keep the things I see in the posture I have in my heart, for example, when I am placing the mugs, I want to put their hands at the same angle, if there is a little untidy, I will continue to fiddle with them, when I see the thread on the clothes of family members or even strangers, I want to cut them off, and when I see the wrinkles of the clothes, I also want to drag them neatly, but strangers, I can't do that, but I feel bad to watch.

    When I'm mopping the floor, no matter what it's worth, at home or at school, I can't bear to lose a hair in the process of mopping, so I'm the slowest mopping every time. But if I have one, I'll go back and drag it back again. When I was in the dormitory, I always kept my shoes placed at an angle against the shoe cabinet, and if one day the angle was wrong, I would rearrange them, and I would keep them in order from light to dark.

    The key point is that when I put on clothes, I must keep the arrangement from light to dark, and the spacing between each piece of clothing must be the same, so I wear clothes for half a day at a time. When I see my roommates throwing garbage next to my bed, I can't help but clean it up by myself, and when I see other people's beds untidy or messy things, I can't resist my urge to tidy them up.

    In short, the experience that OCD has brought me is that everything needs to be placed with a certain regularity. Sometimes I'm tired, but when I see something that isn't in order, I'll put it in order.

    Obsessive-compulsive disorder is that sometimes there are things that you have done clearly, but you always feel that you have not done it in your heart, and then you have to do it repeatedly, anyway, you always keep doubting yourself. I myself have a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, every time I go out I obviously turn off the lights, sometimes I will hesitate for a while after going out to think about whether I have turned it off, sometimes OCD committed, I will go back to see if the lights are off. In other words, obsessive-compulsive disorder is indeed a disease, but the pathology is not very obvious, and people with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder may still torture themselves.

    Some time ago, I heard that a sister did a particularly funny thing because of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and their family was going to go out to play on the weekend, and then took Xiaobao to take the bus first and then prepare to take the subway, and then arrived at the subway entrance, when the sister took the subway card, she looked at the key in her hand, she was compulsively committed, she doubted whether her door was locked, and his family said that they saw her locked, but she just doubted herself, she ran home again funny, just to see if the door was locked, and she was relieved to see her again. In fact, many people don't understand her behavior, but I also have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, I quite understand her, because obsessive-compulsive disorder is like a bomb, if you don't deal with it, you will feel irritable, and after dealing with it, you will feel much more at ease.

    Many girls have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, such as going to a restaurant to eat, obviously people wipe the table in front of you, you will subconsciously wipe it again, as if only what you have done will you feel at ease. It may be that people with obsessive-compulsive disorder are extremely insecure in their hearts, so they will doubt everything, or it may be that we have been in a very nervous state for a long time, so we will be careful in everything and feel at ease after we are sure.

    People with OCD often feel uncomfortable.

    I'm a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, how things are placed, they must be placed like that, if others move, or if they accidentally mess up, they will feel very uncomfortable. I can't help but restore it to its original state as soon as possible, and then I will be in the mood to do something else. If I don't get it back up, then I'll be worried all the time, and I won't be able to do anything else, so to speak, it's a lot of delay.

    And if someone turns on the lights and doesn't turn them off, or the faucet doesn't turn off tightly, I see the lights and hear the ticking sound of the faucet, and I'm super anxious. This anxiety has affected my life, preventing me from sleeping peacefully and not being able to do my own thing. That's why I always ask people who live with me to turn off the lights and tighten the faucet after going to the toilet.

    Even chairs should not be left in the middle of the road, hangers must be put away, and water basins should be stacked on top of large ones. If something goes wrong in these places, and there is a little difference, then I am simply in pain to death, and I can't help but want to get it right.

    However, the best thing about living with OCD is that you don't have to worry about not closing the door or not having your keys with you. Because of obsessive-compulsive disorder, I will make sure again and again when I go out, especially before locking the door, I will repeatedly confirm whether the key is in the bag; If the door is locked, I will push and pull it a few times to see if it is locked and whether it will be opened. Especially when driving, I have to pull the door a few more times to make sure it's unlocked before leaving.

    So it can also be said that there is no need to worry about leaving it behind, and it is more reassuring.

    Everyone has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and if it is in the normal range, it is harmless, but you will feel uncomfortable.

    I think everyone probably has a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. For me, when I have inventory, I guess it will be manifested in cleanliness. Sometimes when I have obsessive-compulsive disorder for a while, I feel that nothing is going my way.

    Then it will be very uncomfortable and overwhelming. <>

    It's like sometimes in a dorm room where everyone has several pairs of shoes on top of each other. If their shoes are not planted in one direction, or the distance between a pair of shoes is not the same. I sometimes feel very uncomfortable, and this obsessive-compulsive disorder may be a nonsensical and vexatious feeling.

    There are also times when people with obsessive-compulsive disorder have little confidence in themselves. It's like when I used to lock the door when I went out. But what about the next time I go downstairs?

    After a while, I wonder if I have locked the door. Then I will rush upstairs to confirm whether there is a lock or not, maybe it is like a very serious obsessive-compulsive disorder. I'm not sad t have ever done this.

    It's a silly, but helpless experience.

    I think there are other people's obsessive-compulsive disorder is manifested in the fact that they need to do everything, which is very sensible and conditioned, and then if this matter is very messy, he will feel as uncomfortable as being killed, and he can't mediate. A person's obsessive-compulsive disorder is, a very positive picture, when it is hot, it must be done today, and it cannot be postponed until the next day. No matter how difficult it is to do and how difficult it is to complete, then she will be very patient to finish it.

    If he doesn't finish it, he may not be able to sleep, and the state of forgetting to eat and sleep is the most positive and best aspect of OCD.

    Take my roommate, for example.

    My roommate's obsessive-compulsive disorder is severe, and his bed is the flattest in the whole bedroom. It is also the only one I know who will ensure that his quilt is a tofu block every day after the end of military training. The table or something, the cup, the paper roll, or something must be in a fixed place.

    The stool must be under the table when it is not done. At the same time, he is also very clean, so we are also very unkind to hand over the hygiene work of the dormitory to him. Hahaha.

    We also have a corner in our bedroom for boxes. It's usually a very casual throw, until one day he can't stand it anymore. He arranged all the boxes in a variety of ways, and finally succeeded in forming a level on top of the box pile.

    The last thing that was particularly interesting was that one day I didn't tell him about the hot water and put it back in its place to tease him. When he came back, he took a look and asked if someone had touched his kettle, and I said how do you know, and he said that the kettle lid was not in this direction.

    Terrible obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Personally, people with OCD may get along very well with people who have a cleanliness fetish because their lives are well organized. At least they won't have conflicts because things are not neat, and there must be a lot of mutual agreement between the two of them.
