Today, I was formally diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive tendencies. My mom saw this as an excuse to make me clean the whole house top to bottom, because "Hey, you love to clean." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was officially diagnosed with OCD. My mother's reaction? "That's not possible, she's a fucking slob." FML

Today, my obsessive-compulsive mother barred me from using the toilet she had just cleaned. She told me to wait until tomorrow. FML
Today, my mom told me to clean the house up because she wants to make good impression on the cleaning lady. FML
Today, it was confirmed that I have ADHD and moderate OCD. My mom thinks I do it on purpose to seek attention. I'm shy, and I don't even like people. FML
Today, I asked my mother if we could test me for OCD, since so many people have suggested to me that I might have it. She smiles at me and says, "No, honey, you're just really really weird." FML
Today, I had my first day off in six months. My mother immediately came down to my room and demanded that I clean the entire house. As I was cleaning, she said, "You don’t get to relax. Ever. Lazy ass." FML
Today, I decided to clean the whole house as a surprise for my mother. When she came home, she screamed at me and called me a bitch because she had wanted to clean it herself. FML
Today, I was called gross by my mother for not cleaning my bathroom. I normally clean it every day, but today it looked clean, and I really needed a break. FML
Today, my mum told me I should see a therapist when she saw me wipe down a remote before using it. My dad has a knack for blowing his nose into his hand and wiping it on his pants, and my mum is the kind to pick up food residue from the drain and eat it - but sure, I'M the one with bad habits. FML

Oh but of course you love to clean! Just like how people with severe depression just LOVE to feel hopeless and dejected every minute of their lives...

OCD doesn't always mean cleanliness, it just means order to your preference. Explain that to her next time.

I know how you feel, OP. My mother knew I had OCD from a young age; when we went shopping, I would sort the shelves, move CDs to alphabetical order, and offer to clean my own hair off the floor after I had my hair cut (I was about 7 at the time). Neither she nor my dad sought help for it, but took advantage of me to clean the pantry, closets, garage, floors, etc. I feel that it's gotten more extreme and occurred more often over the years, so get help or seek support from a psychiatrist, if you can.

Welcome to my life story. Oh hey, you like to clean. How about me and six other (half are grown adults) just leave everything wherever and let you handle it.
