I would really like some help in how to cope with this problem, for over a year now I have this problem with mess, everyday I spend about 1h sometimes more sometimes less, putting things in the places I need them, it’s a routine and usually it works but sometimes I get images and get really upset if these things are out of my control or I can’t do them, for example at the moment there’s a few things in the garden I’m not able to move, but I can’t stop thinking about them and worrying that there not where they should be. I get really upset and overwhelmed when I think about multiple things that are out of place and then suddenly I can’t stop and everything is out of place and I can’t close my eyes because I just see these horrible images of rubbish everywhere, I thought it might just be a tidy habit, but at times I don’t want to do these routines but I have to. I do feel okay most days, getting on and finishing the routine without any problems but when it’s changed or messed up I get really upset and stressed. Does anyone have anything I can do about this? I don’t know what to do…
