For someone who simply enjoys organizing, the task at hand may be completed and then forgotten about until the next time it needs to be tidied up. 🗄️
However, for those with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), the act of organizing and maintaining order is not so easily put aside. 🤔
The need to have everything in its proper place and to have everything done the "right" way is all-consuming and difficult to deviate from. 🧹
The person with OCD is fixated on the task and cannot move on until it is completed to their satisfaction. 🕵️♂️
Despite the temporary relief and sense of accomplishment that comes with achieving order, the constant preoccupation with organization can still be distressing and uncomfortable. 🤯
The brain may tell them that there is no such thing as a "right" way to organize, and that there is no end to the cycle of arranging and re-arranging. 🧠
The problem is that this temporary fix for the need for order only masks the underlying, longer-term issue of OCD. 💭
