No my friend's mom has OCD.
She is really really Anal.
It was my friend's birthday and we were going to NYC and we were pregamming on her patio drinking.
We were immaculate and her mom was like having a major OCD moment.
Like when we had to go the bathroom she was rolling her eyes because she thought we were going to mess up her bathroom.
When my friend was younger, she used to make her kids shower like twice a day and sadly her mom can't even work because she is always cleaning and checking things over and over again.
Not even exagerating.
This sounds like you just want to make sure you have what you need or forgot to do.
I saw talk shows about OCD when I was younger and they used to shower non stop.
I mainly remember that.
People with OCD also spend a great amount of time with their rituals and feel like everything has to be balanced out in their mind.
For example, if they don't touch the door knob everytime they go the bathroom, they think like something bad is going to happen.
OR if they touch their right side of their face, they have to balance it out and touch their left.
Sometimes they will go back and forth until they feel they have balanced things out.
Sounds strange and confusing.
Eventually their habbits and rituals effect their daily way of living and this is all they can do.
A lot of times, they also have eating disorders.
