OCD

I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD for short). Sometimes, though, I think I might have Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD for short). Anyway, OCD is an anxiety disorder where one becomes obsessive over something, believes in irrational consequences if he or she doesn't do a specific act, feels as if he or she must do this act to make things better, does this act to relieve his or her anxiety, and feels that he or she must continue to do this act to make things better and relieve his or her anxiety. For example, someone who is, say, a "germaphobe" and likes washing his or her hands doesn't have OCD. It's OCD when this person feels as if he or she must wash their hands all of the time or else something bad with happen. They wash their hands so much that eventually they begin to lose their skin. Now that's a person who severely has OCD. Well, there's your psychology lesson for the day. Do with it what you will, but please don't confuse doing a task because it helps to do it with repetitively doing something because one becomes obsessed with this task and the consequences that will happen if he or she doesn't do this task and to relieve his or her severe anxiety.
