When dealing with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, no one is more frustrated by the illness than the person with the illness. However, family and friends who live with the disorder also feel its affects. Sometimes frustration over the irrational behavior takes over, or too much sympathy can cause the disorder to worsen. But, until the person has overcome the illness, there are ways to ease the stress of living with this behavior.

I have some of the same symptoms as you Noodad. And though I'm worried that they may inherit ocd from me, everytime I look at them I feel morally boosted, and feeling optimistic. Optimistic but prepared.

Everyone seems to have various degrees of this. I myself admits to the fact that double / triple checking has become a habit of mine, not only because of the hazards incurred by the modern world we live in, but because that it has somehow became an obsession. I just hope that my kids won't inherit this from me, so they would have a relaxed and more enjoyed life.

But it is an out of sight, out of mind situation. If you look through my closets and drawers you will find a dumpster but I will be damned if the counters aren’t orderly.

You mentioned "out of sight, out of mind" well I'm the opposite. I have OCD but I become more preoccupied with cleaning under the kitchen sink or ordering a closet than picking up toys or sweeping the floor. I have yet to grasp the concept of "tidying up". An unorganized closet will bother me more than dirty dishes on the counter.

My husband actually has diagnosed OCD, and has been off work for a while now. We have a small toddler. OCD is way more than a need to have order,,,it's a very debilitating disease to the patient and their families. Googling your page looking for support made me sad that such a serious topic is taken so lightly. I appreciate the humour, but doin't think it's appropriate to label your need for organization as a disease. It can be horrible, and you definately don't want to have it....even as a joke!

I stumbled across this while trying to figure out what my own symptoms were called. The right angles belying a wicked mess out of sight. Oh the things a two-year old can do that just tears at the fabric of all that is orderly and in place.

I couldn't believe the parallels between our "condition". Like you, I don't feel it is appropriate to call it OCD because OCD is a chronic life-altering thing. This is a definitely a more low level weirdness.

Best of luck.

There are times when one would like to hang the whole human race, and finish the farce.

I\'ve been there with the sand, stickers, pebbles in the dryer, Play Doh, and accursed glitter. Balloons, too. My wife had a wellness fair at work yesterday and brought two helium-filled hell spheres into our house for the boys. She thankfully asked if it was okay to bring them in and I insisted that they stay in the mudroom until I could dispose of them with a bamboo skewer. In my world, the only good balloon is a popped balloon.
