OCD.... Is it a sickness or just a way of being.

I find my self everyday rearranging my desk at work or something at home. I try to keep things clean and organized (which my wife and friends can vouch on this). I might have some OCD on certain things. There are things that irritate me to a point that I need to clean it or fix it. And when I am done I surely have to find something else to do. My wife tells me all the time "You need to rest and stop worrying about stuff, you're going to get a heart attack." And maybe she is right, but I'm already use to it.


And you may ask what is OCD? Well OCD is Obsessive-compulsive disorder an anxiety disorder in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, sensations (obsessions), or behaviors that make them feel driven to do something (compulsions). There are different cases of OCD. There are those that have to separate their belongings in color or alphabetical order. And there are others that are clean freaks. Won't go to bed until they see the area clean (and yes I do that too).

There are people out there that like to be left alone while they cook, clean, work, or do anything else. They feel that the other person won't do it as good as them. So instead they do it alone. It might seem "weird" but it's happening right now all across the world. Some are neglected in certain places because they can't control themselves.

I know people that have OCD that they are obsessed with having things one way. And they don't take change very well. Is there way or no way at all. Which in a way is very dangerous for them and those near that person.

I took an OCD test online and I got an 81 and it was pretty scary. A coworker took the test and go a 61. Take the test you never know what level of OCD you have. Post your results. http://www.anxietycentre.com/anxiety-tests/OCD-test.shtml

So when you meet a person with OCD please do respect their stuff. Don't move them and never tell them they are wrong.
