Ivery always had obsessive behavior but the kind that seems to fit a lot of bp ppl more than ocd exactly. As a kid I had some strange ocd like habits but thy waned out more as depression came on
Now I'm feeling better but I have become obsessive in an organized way. It's causing me mental distress when things are out of place ect. Like driving me crazy Was I too depressed all the time before that this was suppressed? It's so confusing I don't know who the true me is

Jacky I think I do something like this. Is it kind of like perfectionism? Like you do one thing (for example the dishes) & that sets off a chain reaction for needing to do all these other related things (start emptying draws & cupboards to organise) & you can't stop or it causes you some sort of psychic distress? I've started scrubbing the grout & tiles with a toothbrush right before needing to go to work once, it was painful to stop when I had to leave. Other times I let the place go to ruin & don't do anything, like 2 extremes.

Hell i WISH I got obsession about cleaning too. I'm sure my bf would love that.
I more so obsess over how others think of me. Like what if my bf leaves me cuz I'm crazy? What if these people on fb really hate me? Omg why didn't this person reply to my comment?!!! I think about these things until I get nuts with anxiety. This friend of mine NEVER replied to me on fb like... A wk ago and yet I'm STILL thinking she just hates me. However I really think it's more of a BPD thing for me and very low self esteem. And usually this only happens when I'm hypo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I have obsessed over the negative too...in one big thought loop. This is usually in depression for me or mixed depression for me. It's the worst!!

Maybe it's natural. To want everything organized = symbolizing organized mind = not going back into depression. Having bp can suck so bad, we want to feel like we have some control. Idk. But I know my family look at me a little sideways when I get like you're describing. Like "hmm you didn't seem to care about leaving a dish out for the past 3 months..." And they are correct. But now I do.
 . Maybe I did before also but could not wrap my head around how to even get the dishes (for example dishes, but there are also stacks of papers and many things) done.

It's excess energy. Try making a list and prioritize things so you don't ocd.
If you can slow down enough you may have more fun. Do things you haven't done in awhile, like camping.
