Is this a form of OCD? What can I do!? Help**?
I have the compulsive need to be incredibly organised to the point it's almost consuming.
I have to plan each day, a week ahead - sometimes more and all down to the lsmallest detail like - when I'm gonna meet up with my boyfriend, what household jobs need to be done and what I'm going to do at work that day (nanny).
I write everything out on a ridiculously long list (which sometimes I rewrite 3,4,5 times if its not neat enough!) and stick it to my wall. I then live by this and if anything is changed or altered I can't cope, it stresses me out and I literally want to have a break down hissy fit!?
I can't cope when my room is untidy too and it will literally stress me out to the point of avoiding it for the whole day before blitzing it before bed.
Everything is so stressful and I can't seem to break this habit which has been developing and getting worse over the last 7 or so months.
What can I do about and what do you think it is!?!?
19, female.
Where possible I want to avoid a doctor- see if its something I can learn to handle or get advice like so. And, others opinions on what they believe it could be because "OCD" is so commonly flung around its allot lost its medical meaning.

That does sound like a form of OCD to me, and it's worth your while to go see a psychologist, they really do help and are not impatient or anything like that. You can't quit your compulsions cold turkey, as that will play on your mind and stress you out more. Try to cut it down a little bit every day and don't worry so much, distract yourself with things you enjoy.
