Question: People with OCD, doesn't it piss you off when!.!.!.!?
people who don't have the disorder or are ignorant of it's symptoms assume we ALL "wash" our hands repeatedly, or "check door locks" or "arrange things" or whatever!? Symptoms of OCD vary widely between people!. If it's not too personal, in order to educate these ignorant people, what is one of your weird symptoms, or a common one you know of!?
