Anxious cleaning?
Basically, I hyper fixate over clean. I have a toddler and four animals but clean the same as I did as a single person. I just cleaned my entire house three days ago, vacuum every day, wipe everything down every day, and I’m constantly picking up anything on the floor. Basically, I need my house to look unlived in. I don’t mind it and cleaning as a part of my daily routine multiple times a day.
Today I used two 24 packs of disinfectant wipes to re-wipe down my entire house after using a lint roller (literally lint rolling my bookshelf, pictures, couch, entertainment stand, etc.) on all of the same furniture just hours earlier, after vacuuming every room. Even though I can physically see the houses clean, the anxious feeling does not subside. I do tend to rub my finger tips to help with the feeling.
Does anyone else have this? I tried to look it up online but I am just seeing those videos of people saying OMG I have OCD. My house has to be clean. But that’s not what I’m feeling. Mine is anxiety based I NEED to clean or I cannot stop thinking about it.
Anyone else?
