Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

Joy75"MDJunction to me is a second home. I visit daily to support and get supported. Everyone is so great here. The people are what make this site so
perfect. When someone says I helped them, I feel so good about myself. When
I am down, I come here to talk with my lovely friends. This is a great site
and I’ve come to love it and my friends here. Thank you for making such a
wonderful place to call home!

I am just wondering if anyone has any issues with this. I really like my house very neat. I know from my one girlfriend (that is neat also)that I'm over the top. i.e. cups line up perfectly etc and anytime someone comes to my place for the first time they comment on it. I'm not sure if it's a control thing with me that I like things "just so". Does anyone else have this? Thanks Beth

I am that way too, I also have other weird quirks that have to be just so like I hate wire hangers in my house there can only be plastic white hangers. Every hanger has to match stupid things like that. Everything in my house has to match I am crazy about stuff like that but people that actually have OCD are much worse off. They are very ill. Like on that tv show where they follow them as they get help for their disorder, I feel so horrible for them. I cannot imagine living that way.
I suffer from Rapid Progressive MS, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Epilepsy, Migraines, Neuropathy, IBS, Narcolepsy, Arrythmia, Arthritis and too much more complete list on profile.

I'm not currently active due to many personal and medical issues. I will not be participating in MDJ for awhile, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone. I hope everyone is well and I appreciate all of the thoughts, kind words and messages. I have tried to respond as much as possible and apologize if I have not gotten back to everyone. Love & Hugs, Stacey

Yeah I'm like that with everything matching. My place looks like it came from the pages of House and Home LOL! My doctor diagnosed me OCD when I was in the hospital, but it just didn't make sense because I can leave it if I don't have the time etc... I think it was partly because I took 3 baths a day while I was hospitalized because that was the only time I got peace and quiet! I was a raisin when I was discharged at the end of 6 weeks! LOL.
