Anyone else clean obsessively when upset or stressed? I was really upset on Sunday night, and I spent 3 hours vacuuming, scrubbing every surface in my room, cleaning the mirrors, dusting and re-organizing all my books and CDs. The behaviour seems to be something along the lines of Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD).
Anyone else? I know it makes me feel better.

People make a living at that. :lol
That's a bit much and is related to anxiety and feelings of inferiority - "never clean enough". You do the best you can and no more.

Obsessive Cleaning Disorder (OClD) :lol That was good.

I'd like to invite you over to my house next time you're really upset. :O)

You can come to my house even if you're feeling good and I will make you anxious. It's pretty dirty around here. :um

I love to clean when I'm stressed and some people I know don't seem to understand why. I operate better in a clean space. Its frees my state of mind and helps me relax. I feel productive. (I just got done cleaning......)

Not all the time but when I'm in the mood to clean I'm totally focused and spend hours upon hours doing so.

I love cleaning. It takes my mind off of everything bad and makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something.
