Suggestion Box

I don't disagree, sometimes I cringe hearing it used from them.

I'm not at all offended by the comment. For many years, it's been used to describe various things exactly what the host said. Not a big deal.

My Dad became what I call OCD in his older years. His memory wasn't so great so he did things in certain orders, sometimes repetitively. It helped him live on his own until age 91.  

I was diagnosed with a brain illness that will eventually kill me. Doing things a certain way sometimes helps. OCD or my illness, who knows. Whatever works is ok with me.

We all have some mild form of OCD.  When I read that and mentioned it at where I worked  everyone denied  it but we found out one did not want her food to touch when eating, others had a ritual when doing housework that was bizarre, another could never eat orange M & M's and picked them out before she ate the rest.  One person ate food one item at a time during meals.  I do not like my work to be in desk drawers and needed everything out in the open around my desk where I knew where everything was.  Another had to have a perfectly bare desk even while leaving to go to the restroom or anywhere away from his desk.  Then another had to start all over doing  everything over each time being interupted at desk.  Each one realized it was OCD and reflected on how it actually had an effect on their lives.
