I haven’t been diagnosed with OCD and I don’t think I am but then again maybe I am slightly? I want my home to be clean, tidy, things put away, and organized which I think most people do. Obviously not all, look at the greedy Greedturds. I do check to make sure things are turned off or are unplugged several times before leaving. I don’t have a routine that I do every time I leave the house. I don’t need to have canned goods alphabetized but they all need to be facing forwards grouped with like ones together. For example, green beans together, peas together, corn together, etc. The same goes for my fridge, all of my body lotions, and body sprays. Everything has to be facing forward. The clothes that are hung up on hangers all have to be facing the same way in the closet. I can’t go to bed if there is laundry in the dryer. It all has to be washed, dried, and put away the same day. I don’t like things on the counters or dirty dishes in the sink or on the counters. I sweep/vacuum every single day. I make my bed every single day even if I am sick or having a fibro flare just to unmake it and get back in it. To me I’m a germaphobe. I try to not ever stay at a hotel. If I absolutely have no other choice and I have to then I make sure I take my own blankets and pillows. I refuse to even touch any the bedding on a hotel bed. My blanket is always big enough so I can lay on half of it and fold the other half over me and use it as my cover. I sleep in pajama pants, a t-shirt, and socks. My body can’t touch anything except my blanket that I brought from home. It doesn’t matter how expensive the room is. We’ve stayed in hotels before that cost over $600 a night that were beautiful. I still did the same things. I lay towels/wash clothes down in the shower so my feet don’t touch the bottom of the tub/shower. I also put towels down on the bathroom floor so I don’t walk on the bathroom floor with bare feet the entire time I’m there. I wear socks all the other time I’m in my hotel room. I will not use any of their cups or ice buckets if they have them. I will always ask for a straw for my drink when eating out. I won’t put my mouth on the cups/glasses. I haven’t gotten to the point of taking my own silverware yet but we hardly ever go out to eat because I know what kinds of things that go on behind the scenes at restaurants, no matter how good or expensive they may be. The few times that we do go, I try so hard not to think about it, even though it is very difficult, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to eat my food. When we do travel and stay with friends and family I will only stay with people that I know that keep their homes extremely clean. I know, what a snob. Even then I still do the same things I do at a hotel. I hate sleeping anywhere except my own bed or showering anywhere but my own home. I refuse to swim in a public pool. There is nothing that could make me get in one, sadly not even my grandchildren. I will not use a locker room and walk around there barefooted. I won’t go to a water park. I won’t go to the movie theater as well. I refuse to sit in a booth at a restaurant. It has to be a regular table. It feels so disgusting and dirty to me. I’m not trying to make light of anyone that has anxiety, my daughter suffers from it terribly and is on medication for it, or compare what happens to me when we do eat out or stay at a hotel but in my own way I do have anxiety about it. We do travel frequently to see family and friends. We try to stay with our children as much as we possibly can. They all are like I am unfortunately and they know how I am about staying places so they make my stay as comfortable for me as possible. I don’t see how Porky can say he is OCD. I started watching this shit show shortly after they brought the girls home. Asswipe used to say Porky was OCD when she would sit on her ass while he cleaned up the kitchen after he cooked dinner or whatever. I always thought to myself no, that’s just what people do after they make a mess. I figured princess didn’t know how to do that since mommy and daddy did everything for her growing up. When she says he has OCD I want to bitch slap her. She is making light of others who suffer from it and it pisses me off. Of course that’s her self diagnosing once again. Sorry for such a long post about myself. I’m sure since the Greedturds read here, they’ll claim that they do these things too.GreenEyedWitch wrote:So I was thinking (dangerous, I know), I’ve never been diagnosed with or claimed to have been diagnosed with OCD and I am not a germaphobe. But if someone was really OCD and a germaphobe, would they really be able to eat out all the time (even order take out), be willing to stay in hotels, go to a public swimming pool, or even a gym?
Wouldn’t all those trigger his OCD since he’s not in control of the situation? And I couldn’t imagine a real germaphobe being able to do a lot in public at all.
