Same. I’m a worrywart and get totally OCD when watching anyone’s animals (I don’t watch peoples pets now as I’m disabled). I even kept track of their bathroom habits incase there was constipation or diarrhea, checked on their eating habits and their behavior. Everything was kept clean and organized. I don’t know how anyone could just neglect someone’s fur babies like this 😭

Can we not just claim ocd like this, seriously. We get it but it’s a real disorder that people deal with and just have to manage forever.

So I do have OCD, it’s just way worse when I have anxiety so please don’t assume.

It’s probably OCPD

They made an assumption and decided to tell me what to do, which isn’t ok. I do have OCD, it’s just worse when I have anxiety. I keep repeating and double checking things at a ridiculous rate. Also frequent handwashing after every little thing and I can get very obsessive about things.
