    The vagueness of these posts get to me a bit. Do they like clean sheets cause they feel nice, or do they change their sheets in the middle of the night because they might’ve sweat on them and they can’t stop thinking about it? People use OCD too casually, but people also take someone talking about their illness, latch onto the part easiest to minimize, and run with it.

    If you think you might have OCD, get diagnosed and get care if you can, but if that’s not possible, find some legitimate, useful advice from reputable sources.

    If you can’t stop thinking that you’re probably faking, it doesn’t hurt people who have been diagnosed for you to take some books out of the library and find out if the advice helps you. In fact, it lets the library know those resources are in demand so they’ll be there for others, later.
