Is perfectionism (not organizing/cleaning) a form of OCD?
Post Content
Basically title. I was diagnosed to have OCD 2 years ago, but I've had it since I was 6-7 years old. It was diagnosed cause it mostly manifestd as health OCD and magical thinking/rituals surrounding the health OCD. However I have this annoying thing where unless conditions are perfect, I cannot do the thing. For example, unless I am dressed nicely, hair washed and room tidy, I cannot watch a long anticipated movie or show, or play my favourite video game. The thought process is "I have once to experience things, I don't want to waste my first time if the time isn't right and the circumstances perfect". Or I won't go out with a friend on Monday cause I have to do something on Friday and this week is already ruined, so maybe next week. Or won't go somewhere because what if I get sick or faint and not enjoy myself properly? Or I won't finish a drawing I am doinh because I am not skilled enough to execute this idea now so might as well not do it at all and not waste the idea until I am better at art. It has gotten only worse and I try to fight it, but the last 6 months it got twice as bad as it has been since I was a kid. I really wonder if this is also part of OCD and does it happen to others?
