    Haha, I don't have OCD but it's totally crept into vocabulary now as a synonym for 'organised'. I've heard people say 'I'm a bit OCD with how I like the cushions on the couch'. Nah, you just don't like your couch to be messy! It must be frustrating for someone who genuinely has it. I imagine it's extremely unpleasant. It's the equivalent of saying 'oh I'm a bit schizo!' coz you have a bit of a monologue.

      Yeah, Danny! It irritates me, even though I don't have OCD.

      I have bipolar, and hearing people say "Ugh I'm so bipolar", when they have a few mood swings, and it feels as if they're not taking this mental illness seriously. As if, anyone could have it, and it's not a big deal. Which is very hurtful, because those suffering from said mental illness go through hell, and it isn't just about "mood swings".

    I wish more people could read this. I hear people saying they're OCD (or as you mentioned- bi-polar) but actually have no idea what it's really like.
