OCD is not a preference for cleanliness and organization; it is a debilitating mental disorder. Mischaracterizing OCD trivializes the illness. The language we use matters. If you hear someone misusing the term, use it as an opportunity to educate them!

We love this post from ! What motivates you to face OCD?

The next time you notice yourself ruminating, see if you can identify it and thank the mind for trying to protect you without continuing to engage.
