Just a quick toot to say #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder (#OCD) is not an adjective. It is a very debilitating illness that makes every day tasks and life so much harder. Stop saying "I am so OCD" if you don't actually have OCD (tbh, I don't think I've ever heard someone with OCD say that). It trivialises an illness that is incredibly difficult to live with, that requires you to get up every day to fight against ongoing intense anxiety, triggers and avoid compulsions and compulsion loops. Instead of saying it, please read more about OCD and learn more about what it involves and what we battle with on a daily basis.
