Hello, I am new to the group. I have been diagnosed OCD, however, my symptoms, if you will, are not typical. I have this extrem need for things to be “just right.” However, no matter what I do, it’s never right. For example, I am a creative soul, I have art supplies and crafting supplies galor! I organize and reorganize all of it all the time, because it’s just not right. Eventually, I burn out and give up and let it all go to shit. I have mastered “if I don’t try, I won’t be bothered.” So I come off as messy, a slob, and some say, lazy. What people don’t understand is that if I try, I then am anxious all the time because nothing is ever right or as it should be! When I am in that state-of trying but it never being right, I turn to skin picking to ease my stress. I am covered in scars from picking, which has tanked my self esteem. It’s all so exhausting. I can’t exactly articulate how exhausted I am, just that I am bone tired. Tired of the anxiety, low self esteem, nothing ever been right, tired of the misconceptions of OCD, tired of obsessing and exhausted from my mind never turning off and alway thinking and obsessing. #justrightocd #exhaustion #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #obsessive
