I have an obsessive cleaning disorder. I like everything neat..when I touch the trash can, I have to wash my hands. I just hate everything dirty. I clean up about 5x a day. I hate seeing trash on the floor..I either have to sweep or vacuum. Anyone else have this problem?

It's probably the most common manifestation of OCD.
Hmmmm....I wonder why?
I bet all of us here do it to some degree.

me too. i can see crumbs on my floor a mile away. if i vacuum and then see crumbs afterwards it drives me crazy. now my husband offers to vacuum and i find myself following him around while he is doing it and watching every crumb making sure he gets them all. and if he misses some i find myself showing him and grabbing the vacuum from him and trying to do it myself. that makes him feel like he can't do it right. if i see crumbs on counter tops it is like they are honestly staring at me saying " look at me look at me". i am just like get them out of here. i can't stand stains, crumbs, dirty dishes, dirty floors. i fing myself wearing myself out somedays over trying to clean house, and then some days a little more laid back about it. wonder why?
