That is because ocd is always portrayed as a neat freak disorder when it is so much more. Encourage your mother to educate herself about what ocd really is. Not in a judgmental way but in a way that helps her to realize this is so much more than this particular subtype.
Same here! The only thing I can do is tell myself that if she thinks it's like that, she doesn't understand what it is, so can't accurately say whether or not I have it.

Hoarding is also an OCD. There are a lot of people who have extremely messy houses and they have OCD. You should show your mom videos of people who are Hoarders and maybe she'll get a better understanding of your type of OCD and be more supportive.
I have had this for years and have this has been unnoticed for a very long time until i became very angry with people interfering with it.
Lots of people with OCD actually fall behind on cleaning/tidying up *because* of their OCD.
I know my wife moved in with me back in March and I still don't have our apartment done with all the stuff she moved into my apartment. Having OCD is very time-consuming and you don't get a lot of stuff done. š„
Yeah OCD is incredibly misunderstood. My room is a MESS right now and I have severe contamination OCD. Iām living proof you can have OCD if your room is MESSY!
