Tired

[Efthimiades]

I'm curious to know if anyone else has the compulsion to clean all the time? Everything in my home is well organized & I constantly clean clean clean!!! I feel as if my brain is messed up at least my home is in order. I cannot sleep unless everything is in place and neat. I drive myself and my family crazy with this. Its incredibly frustrating and tiresome 😔

Yes I agree!

you sound just like my mom (not in a bad way!), she always finds something that can be cleaned or organized. I think that you might be experiencing OCD if it reaches a level to where you cannot sleep or interferes with your daily life though.

Yup... always cleaning! Like I said , its the only thing I can control. Crazy life!

hey i mean if it's a distraction, a clean house won't hurt anybody. just make sure you're being mindful and don't forget to know when to stop. i don't want you tiring yourself.

Sounds like OCD.

I had a milder version of this when I was single. I carried it into the beginning of my marriage, but things changed after I had kids and got indoor pets. Which actually my husband got me my first dog that I didn’t want because it would mess the house up. That quickly changed, she helped my mental illness instead of making it worse. In a sense she was my therapy dog.

I understand exactly what you mean. I am an anxious cleaner as well, it’s something that can calm me down and provide a distraction. It can be tiring though for sure
