Organizing and cleaning: Is it me or OCD? 🤔🧠
OCD Cleaning and Organizing:
➡️ Feels like a need or requirement rather than a choice
➡️ No joy in the experience of cleaning/organizing
➡️ Performed as a response to obsessions or rigid rules
➡️ Aimed at reducing distress or preventing something bad from happening
➡️ Often excessive, time-consuming, and interferes with daily life (e.g. arriving late to work due to cleaning compulsions)
➡️ Preventing, delaying, or postponing cleaning/organizing often leads to distress
Preferring Cleanliness and Organization:
➡️ Personal inclination or choice
➡️ Driven by individual taste or comfort
➡️ Feelings of joy or contentment during the experience of cleaning/organizing
➡️ Can be postponed or foregone without significant distress
➡️ Doesn't significantly disrupt daily life
➡️ May be a part of cultural or environmental factors or personal values
