Long time lurker, first time posting. I’m nervous to post but I’ve had enough. I really hate the fact that she declares she has OCD as if it’s some sort of badge of honour. She doesn’t have have OCD: she just likes things done her way (in her head that’s the right way). I do have OCD, diagnosed by a psychiatrist while I was under the care of my local mental health team and GP. Part of the criteria of diagnosis is the fear of something bad happening if you don’t do a compulsion. My OCD mutates too and moves from one thing to another or adds more compulsions. It is utterly exhausting and you live in constant fear. If my pegs aren’t alternate colours on the line, pink then blue (as I had a girl then a boy and another girl) then something bad would happen to them. Me alternating my pegs literally (in my mind) keeps my children alive. It’s not just fussing about germs or your house being tidy.
Sorry for the rant and I’ll probably regret saying all that in the morning!
