Should she have touched my face wash?

I've just had a massive argument with my mother and its left me feeling depressed and in tears. She decided to fix the sink that was blocking up at 2am in the morning. In the process she touched and moved my face wash which I specifically ask her not to touch (OCD as you may call it). My OCD is much better then It was a year ago and I've come a far way but she has problems too. The house is always in a state of mess or disarray. She buys things she doesn't need all the time and messes the place up with junk. She came into my room the other day when I specifically asked her to respect my privacy. I got really upset then because I only have limited privacy in this house.

Is it fair that she touched my facewash which she knows would upset me greatly becuase my acne has psychologically scared me which means my face wash is like a lifeline for me & anyone who touches it touches a nerve in my body. I accept her problems & don't attack her every time she buys something (I am rational sometimes). But she knew it would upset me but she wanted to fix the sink because I asked her to call a Plummer about it but she decided (as she does things randomly) to fix it herself. She chose to touch my face wash. I feel dirty now. How do I react to this? I am really upset

Update:

she didn't do it unintentionally. Her psych told her to do stuff that would aggravate my ocd. I dont think its ocd more privacy. She knew it would upset me

    Personally I think that if she knew how you'd feel about it she shouldn't have touched it. However, she may have forgot about it or needed to move it to work on the sink some more. If she did, she just should have put it back is all.

    Forgive your mom, people make mistakes. Just try to make sure she doesn't do it again.

    Oh yeah? Well lets see how much "OCD" you have once she kicks you out the house and you realize that you're homeless! Face wash would be the least of your cares "OCD" or not, destitution will cure it!

    You should tell your mom how you feel and why you feel that way. Tell her that your face wash is a personal accessory in life and you don't go through the stuff she buys and moving it or throwing it away

    oh i know how that feels. your mom prob shouldn't have, but calm down. take a breath. as long as you moved it back, its okaay. i have BAD ocd about people being in my room when its messy. like, i freak out if people go in my room if its not clean. because i already know where everything is, & i don't want it to get more messy, i just DON'T LIKE IT. haha.

    good luck.

    its not like she done it on purpose. you need to grow up and show your mom some respect. people make mistakes, you cant expect people to satisfy your every want.
