Being tidy and organised

General Question/Discussion

Being Tidy & organised

Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you also feel a strong need to keep your surroundings clean and organised?

My thoughts and emotions can be chaotic and unstructured sometimes, but I would consider myself quite tidy and have gotten lots of compliments about my flat being clean and organised. Actually, messy surroundings are a main source of distraction for me at home and I can’t rest until my chores are done. I also use cleaning as procrastinating a lot! Also, I hardly ever lose things (partly because I’m usually emotionally attached to a literal hairtie) and don’t really forget anything.

I feel like this could be one of the reasons it has gone undetected until my early 20s… The social and emotional criteria of adhd are sometimes debilitating for me though and I’m diagnosed & medicated. Do any of you make similar experiences? I would love to hear from you xx

(I have spoken to a mod about this post because my first try accidentally got disapproved)
