Why do i cry when....?

someone touches my stuff

for example, my mom cleaned my room today because it was a total mess and we were having guests the next day. When i came home to find a spotless room, i started crying like crazy because i hated the fact someone touched my stuff and re arranged it.

i wanted to mess up everything and clean it myself, but i knew/know that the guests would see my room and i didn't have enough time..

so what causes my mental breakdown when someone touches my stuff?

Update:

and no, im pretty sure i don't have OCD

    Yes it is your parents house, but every person is entitled to his or her own privacy. Your mom kind of invaded that when she rearranged everything. However, it is also your responsibility to keep your room clean. It helps to do a little organizing each day, to develop good habits that will follow you when you have your own house someday. The more you keep up your end of the bargain, the less reason your mom has for being in your room, and you'll be happier that you accomplished this.

    It is not the touching of the stuff, it is about disappointment in yourself for not keeping up with your chores and feelings of guilt. Hence, the desire to say, I could have done it myself. Ops, but I ran out of time. Lol.
