Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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
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, my mom's obsession with cleanliness hit a new low when she bitched at me for having trash in my trash can. 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, my obsessive-compulsive mother barred me from using the toilet she had just cleaned. She told me to wait until tomorrow. 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 found out my mother cleans the dishes with bathroom cleaning chemicals. She doesn't see anything wrong with this. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. My mom's reaction was, I shit you not, to tell me to "walk it off". FML
Today, my mom read my diary. Then she frantically booked me an appointment with a psychiatrist. FML
Today, my OCD mother got mad because I wouldn't let her turn the fan over my head at a higher speed than low. She's got every other fan going at high speed but not aimed at herself, while I'm trying to work from home without the wind in my face for 8 hours. FML

Am I the only one wondering what kind of OCD you've got?

It's a very large miss conception, my dad had a similar response when I was first diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder. My compulsions are more food related and words and obsessive intrusive thoughts. I am not a messy person but cleaning is not one of my compulsions. I find it really disheartening how many people don't know much about the mental illnesses and disorders that effect thousands of people. Heads up OP your mum is likely not the only person who will make an uneducated comment about the disorder, it happens more than it really should.

My mother accuses me of having OCD herself but saying it's not possible because I'm "a ******* slob."
