Mild OCD from ADHD?
I feel that I have some mild OCD and I think it stems from my ADHD. I believe it's because I have such a hard time remembering things I have to do. This makes me fear not having everything perfect because if the task is not completely finished then I will forget to finish it. So if I'm cleaning up my room it has to be absolutely perfect because if not I probably won't ever finish that task.
It's even worse for smaller things that shouldn't matter so much because those smaller things are even harder for me to remember. I believe that's why I'm a little bit of a maniac when I'm doing basic tasks, trying way too hard and stress too many details.
Mostly I find my obsession with perfecting things annoying and I'm trying to avoid making everything perfect. But it does have some positives because those tasks get done really well.
