i didn’t even know i had ocd until i was absentmindedly putting away the clean towels and realized that i had two perfectly folded stacks of washcloths five to each stack and they were the exact same height and folded the exact same way i did the same to the hand towels and bath towels perfect symmetry i just waved it off until i mentioned it to my mom and she thought it was a bit weird when i mentioned it to my grandma she told me that i had been kinda obsessive about color-coding and sorting things perfectly and all that ever since i was in preschool i mean some people like things neat but it was just strange in my case it took seventeen years for the doctor to comment on it so i have slight ocd tendencies—nothing worth medication the specialist at the hospital said that i have a processing issue it just takes my brain a couple extra seconds to “catch up” with something that someone says to me and slight ocd tendencies
