ADHD with all its little quirks can be a bit much at times… but sprinkle in a bit of OCD and it can feel like your head is about to explode…
Silly things like needing to keep your phone scratch free… or the needing to arrive somewhere at dead on 11:00am… all it takes is 1 scratch or one extra unplanned delay and it feels like the world is going to end…
When it’s yourself it's really annoying… what’s worse is when you project that OCD on others… when you see someone else’s phone with a smashed screen… or someone else has told you they need to set off in 5 minutes and that was was 15 minutes ago… what’s even is this…? Why do I care…? It doesn’t impact me… well… it shouldn’t impact me…
I’m not sure if it’s linked to a feeling of wanting perfection or if it’s a need for order… but either way… sometimes it’s really annoying…
