To have issues with bubbles in my sink?

It actually makes me go into a little rage if DP has done dishes and doesn't rinse the sink out afterwards.

Even the tiniest little bit of bubbles left makes me angry, think I'm a little bit ocd actually haha.

Surely I'm not alone?

Op think you need to hide this thread. Some people are going Ott now.

BuonoEstente · 07/08/2016 19:22

Little rage????? I suffer with anger issues and I'm fucking hulking!!!!

mummytofourbabies · 07/08/2016 19:22

I think so too..wow! Seen it all now

TheGruffaloMother · 07/08/2016 19:23

You're making light of a condition you clearly know fuck all about mummy and then disregarding the people who read the thread with distaste. How did you expect it to go?

Noonesfool · 07/08/2016 19:25

OP would you say "a touch bipolar haha" or "I'm a bit manic depressive, heehee"? No? OCD can be an extremely debilitating mental health condition.

ayeokthen · 07/08/2016 19:27

Zoflora disinfectant literally eats bubbles. I swear it's the best invention known to humankind! I'm OCD diagnosed, and bubbles after the washing up or a bath used to drive me insane!!!

TheGruffaloMother · 07/08/2016 19:27

"I'm a touch schizophrenic, AIBU?"

Doesn't sound quite as innocent then, does it?

ayeokthen · 07/08/2016 19:28

And also not offended by OP, I've several diagnoses once of which is OCD, and I wasn't offended.

mummytofourbabies · 07/08/2016 19:28

So because I used the word "a bit" in my sentence Iv committed some kind of crime!

Honestly!!

Don't worry guys I'll get MNHQ to remove this thread and then you can all go about your lives like nothing has happened!

LewisAndClark · 07/08/2016 19:29

Oh dear.

Would you have said you're a little bit bipolar? Or a little bit autistic?

I wish people would THINK before they post shit about life altering conditions.

BuonoEstente · 07/08/2016 19:29

For goodness sake wolves, you've killed the antelope so let it go. OP will guaranteed never ever comment upon any illness (physical or mental) again.

TheGruffaloMother · 07/08/2016 19:30

For goodness sake wolves, you've killed the antelope so let it go.

Not really the case though is it? OP still can't grasp what was wrong with her post.

UnusualPolarBear · 07/08/2016 19:34

Yes, op, people do find it offensive.
No, that's not an over reaction.

Maybe you should apologise?

BuonoEstente · 07/08/2016 19:35

Well you feel free to carry on eating the carcass until she learns the error of her ways. That'll learn her.

TheGruffaloMother · 07/08/2016 19:39

Well now we're talking about killing antelope and eating carcasses, I agree the thread has gotten a touch dramatic. God forbid anyone post anything constructive and try to help the OP understand why many will find the language she's using offensive. Perhaps we should go back to making light of debilitating health issues instead.

BuonoEstente · 07/08/2016 19:40

That's exactly what I meant.

EvansAndThePrince · 07/08/2016 19:48

You can be a little bit obsessive. You can't be a little bit OCD. You either have OCD or you don't. It IS offensive and it IS devastating.

mummytofourbabies · 07/08/2016 19:48

Because I used the words "a bit ocd"?? That's what this is all about!

No I have not "officially" been diagnosed with ocd but does that mean I don't have it??
None of you know me, you know nothing about me or my ways, and yes I chose to make light of it, that's isn't because I think it's "funny" it's because that's just how I choose to look at it!

I'll be sure to make an appointment with my doctor tomorrow though to get an official diagnosis just so you all feel better and can stop jumping at me!
I know I have ocd just manage to control it.
I spend at least 4 hours every night scrubbing my kitchen from top to bottom, even though it's clean I can't settle until it's been done.

If someone moves something in my house I sweat and feel extremely agitated until I can put it back to its original position

I can't let my children play with playdoh or bake etc because the mess actually gives me palpitations and makes me so on edge that it has on many occasions brought me to tears.

I have to wash my hands with a nail brush and scrub them till their raw Incase I've missed any germs before I touch any food or after i have changed my children's bums

I physically cannot leave my house until every inch of it is spotless..have had numerous meltdowns over this..

So maybe before u all judge and tell me "I don't know what I'm taking about" and to "educate" myself you should think before you speak!!!

Yes I maybe don't have it as extreme as some but I KNOW I have it
Angry

EvansAndThePrince · 07/08/2016 19:50

You can't say you control it and then list ways in which it's not controlled. You're still talking shit one way or another.

EvansAndThePrince · 07/08/2016 19:51

and if all that is true and you or your OH haven't seen fit to get a professional involved yet then there's a whole world of issues that need addressing.

mummytofourbabies · 07/08/2016 19:52

I'm talking shit? Ok love..

I meant it's not out of control like I know some peoples can get. I've seen how extreme some people have it and In my eyes I'm lucky mines isn't that bad.

OP posts:
UnusualPolarBear · 07/08/2016 19:52

And you still haven't apologised for offending people.

mummytofourbabies · 07/08/2016 19:53

I am not apologising as I haven't done nothing to apologise for.

If people chose to be offended by two words I used then that's their choice.

OP posts:
EvansAndThePrince · 07/08/2016 19:55

In what way is it in control?

mummytofourbabies · 07/08/2016 19:56

Evans

Maybe you should consider training as a counsellor of some sort put all your good advice to use..

Millions of people live with ocd without professional help
