New Re: Right you are.
That goes beyond anal and into obsessive-compulsive.


I know I'm going to regret posting this... but it's been on my mind all day (not your post, the topic). Please don't treat it as a complaint though, I genuinely would like other opinions on this?

See mom decided last night that I was obsessive compulsive because of the certain ways I organize and color-code things and also because I have a lot of something, say a lot of different colored pens, or a lot of different colored socks.

I told her that in all my years of therapy, I was never considered to be obsessive compulsive... and trust me, I asked. So why does it seem that when someone wants to be highly organized and structured, those are the words that seem to pop up to describe them? Isn't there some better word for those of us who like a little order in their lives?

I'd really like to know some thoughts on this one, thanks.

Brenda

New Don't be confusing "pointless" with "symptomatic"

New The symptoms are on a continuum
People can have obsessive traits and not have full blown OCD. They can also have an obessive compulsive personality disorder, which is different from OCD in that it is more pervasive and less acute.

Lots of people manage their anxiety by organizing their external world. I'm one of them. Doesnt mean you have OCD.
New Thank you, Laura
That really helps me feel better. I know it's silly, I know if I really had OCD my therapists would have explained it and helped me with it. I just get so easily swayed by my mom... she's still the one who can make me doubt myself the most.

Have a good day!
