A typical week of someone who has Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

             A typical day of someone that suffers from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or other whys know as OCD, one form of this disorder is to be constantly cleaning were everything has to be is just so. Nothing can be out of place before sleeping and there weekly or daily cleaning schedule never can be put off no matter how busy the day is.  In the essay I will explain what OCD is. From step by step, Sunday cleaning schedule to how they can’t sleep if there is a missing remote, and how everything has its own spot. Get ready to understand what OCD is.    

            Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a chemical imbalance in the bran that cause worries, doubts, and constant clean like vacuuming everyday. People with OCD are explained it like having constant brain hiccups, with thoughts or urges that they can’t let go. It is not the person suffering from OCD fault or a result of a weak or unstable personality.

                  A typical week of a person with OCD is they need to put everything in a rotten from when they have there showers to were and the exact order that they clean the house. OCD can get so bad that it runs how, when or why a person doses a particular task. When someone around you suffers from OCD all I suggest doing is getting out of there why. A rotten even includes when they take a shower for example on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday they often most time have high levels of anxiety going more then with a two day gap with out a shower. OCD people often are very clean that most times is what there Obsessive the most with; in the United States it thought that 50 percent of adults suffer from the disorder even though it is on of the hardest things to diagnose.  A daily rotten for an OCD person can be as fallows, washroom, coffee, smoke if they smoke, then change, do hair, brush teeth and finally makeup. Often times in the morning a person with OCD can’t be rushed. Being rushed can cause dizziness and very bad migraines this is a direct result of the chemical imbalance in the brain. 

            The rotten is very much the same at night as it is in the mornings; the biggest thing is how if something like the coffee is out of order or messy sleeping can’t being. If a remote is lost the other remote can’t be beside it on the table. The evening rotten is as fallows in a typical person with OCD change into pajamas, brush teeth wash face, pike out a movie a lot of time people suffering from OCD can’t sleep without background noise. Then sit above the covers for about 5 minutes most time people with OCD can’t move from on place to another fast so they tend to have transitional periods, this is for the most part to stop the spread of germs. Often in people with OCD they have to do things like setting the alarm clock 6 times before being able to sleep. The last step in the rotten is getting under covers and trying to fall asleep. A lot of people that have OCD can’t sleep alone; this is a fear of the unknown.

            The next rotten is food shopping, this is always done at the same type of store like a store with the same supplier for example an Independent and a Loblaws. The way of getting everything around the store is the same every time. When home it is even worse no one can put the food away except the person with OCD, as I have been told “no one can do it right”. The OCD forces them to rotate the all the even if it doesn’t go bad. This process is on of the most difficult for a person suffering from OCD. Also is one of the hardest things for then to give up. 

            The hardest and biggest never getting out of rotten for a person with cleaning OCD is there weekly or daily cleaning rotten. This rotten even if Christmas falls on this day always get, done no matter how tired they are. The cleaning goes as fallows dishes have to be done and drying. Then laundry is started first whites, then colors and then bed sheets every second week, if not sure they get done every week. Bathroom is next on the crazy cleaning list and is a fallows place cleaner in toilet, clean sink and bath tub; while cleaning can only use three pieces of toilet paper at a time. Then place everything back into its place on the sink and bath tub before doing cleaning the toilet. Lastly in the bathroom straiten the mats so they line up with the tiles on the flour; everything in the washroom must be “A” symmetrical. After the bathroom next on the list is dusting first the bedroom then living room after that come out the window cleaner. The list for this is coffee table both sides, living room TV, bathroom mirror, computer screen, bedroom TV and even bedroom alarm clock. The vacuum is whipped out next; first the perimeter of the house is done. Then the bedroom and lately the living room and halls are done. The same lines are fallowed every time the house is cleaned. The last step in the cleaning adventure is lighting candles this signifies the end of the cleaning rotten.

Too many people this might seem stupid and pointless but for a person suffering from OCD this is a way of life and they don’t know any different. People suffering from this disorder don’t understand especially when they are young. Having a rotten control your life is not always easy to live with. The disorder is always gets in the why and out side people can sometimes look down upon this disorder.  There are many people that don’t understand this and are afraid of people with OCD. They are still humans and as a group should not look down upon them, they just have something ells to overcome like people with LD have over come. The next time you see some out in the street stepping over all the cracks like in the movie “As good as it gets” were Jack Nickelsons character has to step over every sidewalk steps in New York City. Don’t laugh or look down on them as often done.
