Well technically you can become addicted to anything,  The repeat of the action on a daily, or hourly basis after a while  your mind will want to keep repeating that action.  It's worse for people with OCD, they may not even realize they are doing it.

OCD is not just somebody who cleans, it may be that you have a form of it, have you spoken to your doctor?

Yes I do have those days. I'm to the point now I just keep on going and ignore the fact that I do dumb things. It's cause we are stressed. Have to much on our minds....\n☺

Well, there is several ways I do this. Assuming work isn't involved that day (which obviously forces you to think of tomorrow), I just get up and DO.....anything. I do the same as yourself, and also go out and hit my favorite activities, which are all releases and take my mind off everything else.

My co-workers tease me about having OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) because I always clean when I get bored. \n\nOne day I was really bored and decided to tidy up my area. There was this huge cord that had been hanging under my counter top for a long time, so I got out the heavy duty scissors and went to work on it. I cut it clean off and tossed it in the garbage. Shortly afterward the phones quit workng along with the VISA terminal and some other important electronic equipment.\n\nI almost lost my job that day. The phone company had to repair the line and splice together over 100 tiny wires I had cut. \n\nThese days I just go out for a Latte.

That has nothing to do with OCD. If you were obsessive-compulsive you'd have many obsessions that would take up a lot of your time and be in your thoughts a lot and you would have a hard time NOT doing them. Cleaning your butt well is not OCD.

My husband has O.C.D.!   He is has many rituals and strange quirks, for instance:\n1) when he takes off his shoes, his laces all have to be pulled straight toward the front\n2) he must buy 5 tacos at Taco Bell even though  he is only hungry enough to eat 3\n3) when he goes to a new store where ever he parked that first time is HIS parking place for life!  And he must always drive all the way into the one infront of it so he doesn't have to back out\n4) he must wear certain color shirts each day of the week and must where only those colors on those days.  And by the way, they must be in the sequence of the rain bow!\n\nI could go on but I think you get the picture.  Are you on medication?  He is on Zoloft.  It has  changed his life.  He is very happy on it ...... and I AM SO HAPPY HE IS ON IT, TOO.  LOL  You're not alone, honey.

If you obsess about things you cannot change or cannot seem to control, yes.\n\nSee a professional, I did.\n\nI have had OCD since I was a kid, and I can't tell you how many times I would freak out if things were not even, or clean, or the way I thought they needed to be....\n\nA good medication like wellbutrin XL can change your life, but get a proper diagnosis first, by a therapist.\n\nTrust me, life is too short to sweat the small stuff!\n\nIt never goes away but when you learn to manage it, it changes your life.\n\nGood Luck,\nTanya
