Is OCD where you are obsessed with control? Like being a "control freak"? My parents told me they both have it - but I think they meant they just have some characteristics of it or something. Either way, I'm pretty much stuck with having at least a little bit of the OCD perhaps because of either 1) being raised in this environment where everything needed to pretty much be perfect or die (ok, not literally on the "or die" part but it did get kind of abusive at times if it wasn't perfect) OR 2) genetically predisposed to having some sort of OCD because my parents both are like that.
I've never been formally diagnosed that I recall.. Maybe as a teen actually , I'd have to go look it up but I'm pretty sure it was just a "major depressive" episode...
