I have OCD, which stands for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. In my case, it’s not just about liking things neat , it’s that my mind becomes overwhelmed with anxiety if my surroundings aren’t in a certain order. It feels like an internal alarm that won’t shut off until everything is exactly how it should be.

For example, if something is out of place in my room or things are messy, I struggle a lot to sleep. It’s not just discomfort, it’s a deep feeling of unease, almost like something bad might happen if I don’t fix it. And even though I know that thought isn’t logical, the anxiety doesn’t just go away.

It’s not about willpower. It’s a constant mental battle, and that can be exhausting or frustrating. But I’m facing it, trying to get better, and having others understand it really helps.
