I wish I could relax on th cleaning a bit. When I start an antipsychotic is about the only time this happens. When I am manic the cleaning is even worse. I used to be a picker ( my skin, cleaning things like remotes with saftey pins, anything I could pick at for hours and also a checker ( had to check everything 50 times to make sure it was right) with my OCD.

I think I just gradually traded the picking and checking for cleaning. It' not a good way to be, it does drive people around me a little nuts. If I go to someones house I have to really restrain myself from starting to clean their stuff up while I am there.

When people are at my house I rarely am able to sit with them as I flit around tidying while talking with them.

It is all about balance, cleaning isn't that important, or shouldn't be. When I die will I wished I had cleaned more? Probably not
