Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?
My brother has undiagnosed ocd. It makes him really difficult to live with because if things arfent done exactly as he likes, and does them each and every day then he goes nuts and smashes everything.
He is fanatical about constantly washing his hands, with liquid soap from a pump, nothing else. Spraying himself with half a bottle of deoderant, a certain brand, twice adya- and I'm not exaggerating. Showering at least twice a day. Makes funny tics with his face. It's just so difficult. Has anybody else had any experience with this?

my hubby has OCD, not like your brother, more like Monk on tv. I catch him arranging things and putting them all straight. He has to have everthing clean, you can't touch any glass surface or he goes off. He has certain things that really tick him off. We have three kids so it makes life a bit difficult, I run a lot of interference when it comes to the kids.

Some say I have OCD. I have a thing with hair. If I see hair on the bathroom floor, even if it's just one little strand of hair, I have to clean the whole bathroom even if I just cleaned it. I also do the same in the bathtub. If I see a hair in the bathtub, I will let the water out and then start over. I can't stand hair in my bathwater, I don't care if it is just one little strand. I will let my bath water out and start over. I don't know. It bugs me. I also have a few others, but not as bad. I have a rug by my fireplace and if its moved or messed up just a little, I have fix it and make it perfect almost every time I walk by it. And I can't sleep if I have dishes in the sink, they have to be in the dishwasher. Not even one little fork can be in the sink and if there is, I have to clean it and put it away before I can sleep. I don't make any sounds or any ticks, but I do get a little obsessive. It's just crazy how small things can be such a big thing to some people. Some have it worse then others.
