4 ways to tell if you have OCPD

[@Zyenthillias]

All four points fit me to a T, with two slight differences: 1.) I feel exhausted with trying to maintain doing things "the right/best way", and frustrated that it often takes so long or involves so many steps. I wish I could cut corners like other people when I'm having a rough day, but I don't feel I'm allowed to. 2.) I am very much aware of how my particulars can impose on others and feel guilt/shame that I'm being a burden or a buzzkill if it becomes a problem. For context, I was just diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder last week and we *strongly* suspect OCPD as well. Very accessible, relatable video. Thank you! 👍

Dude SAME!!!!

[@paintitblack9712]

Same! I def feel the weight on my interpersonal relationships. Its super taxing. I just eish i didnt care, its exhausting

[@DenkyManner]

I would seriously question the idea that the rigidity inflexible are happy when they follow all their rules. It's a battle to control everything just to feel normal, but it's rooted in perfectionism so things are rarely good enough. And when they appear to be, a profound sense of emptiness and boredom floods in. Things aren't right, hence the behaviour, so they stay not right

[@sasukefan6919]

So, I used to think I just had OCD. Looking back, it's actually hard to tell if I even had it at times, but after a "bad" thing I did a few years ago, it seems it has gone from random intrusive thoughts that were fairly easy to ignore to full blown ruminating everyday about morality, how to avoid doing this bad thing again, and very rigid rules. I have even started to completely avoid certain items or songs that I used to listen to during the period that I did the "bad" thing. It almost feels like my obsessions are so full blown now, that it has turned into a personality disorder, but i'm not self diagnosing. Thanks for the vid as always

[@derekbehrens9744]

I'm not diagnosing you either. But, as someone with OCD, I can tell you that what you're describing sounds like "Real Event OCD" and "Moral Scrupulosity OCD." OCD can be all-consuming and it can make you feel like you're "crazy" (for lack of avoiding stigma) or that something is wrong with you. It's something everyone with OCD experiences without proper treatment. I'd advise you to look into Real Event OCD and Moral Scrupulosity OCD and see if it fits what you're experiencing. Hope this helps!

[@ocdandanxiety]

Absolutely!

[@alfie9718]

Honestly mate, you’re not on your own in this. I can completely relate to what you feel like (im sure now the OCD is saying something like “no you can’t, you didn’t do what I did”- I’ve been there like that too). A book I’d recommended reading is the Confidence Gap by Russ Harris. My OCD therapist told me to check it out & it’s honestly the most useful tool you can have. Hope it helps. Hope you’re okay. Xx

My ex husband had OCPD, seriously he was a nightmare. Rules, lists, extreme miserly with money, secretive, perfection, rigid, extremely controlling. His rules always the only way, and written in concrete. He was a cold , distant and dismissive as a partner, it was like living with a monk. I'm not really sure why he wanted to get married, which was when he was in his 40's. He caused so much instability and misery in my life. I have had narcissists in my life and have Cptsd, the narcissists were A holes and caused so much harm....Im not sure which personality disorder was worse.

My manager has OCPD and possibly some Narcissism. He is absolutely traumatizing to work with. He creates horrible bottlenecks where he needs to control everything, and he thinks he's the best and the rest of us are the problem. He essentially destroyed an entire office with his micromanagement. Try Grey Rocking... it's a method of navigating narcissists and it works really well with people that have a toxic OCPD. Stop trying to explain, defend, or meet them half-way. Be nice, but socially boring. Keep all convos to "good morning", "good evening", and "ok" and everything else benignly silent. Grey Rocking will create space to notice how disordered they are as they thrash about trying to control everything. The more narcissistic of them might go into a stage called Hoovering, where they pretend to not be OCPD for a while and will almost seem respectful toward you, but then when you open up again they will pivot back to antagonizing and controlling you, so you have to stay the course with Grey Rock.

Increased serotonin allows for more diverse neural pathways to be formed, thus increasing the ease at which someone with this disorder can accept alternative ways of thinking, doing, etc. The main problem is the rigidity and this tackles that well.

I was able to avoid four major arguments with my husband this weekend. He was upset about the condition of our son's room. Messy? Yes. Dangerous? No. Cluttered and disorganized for sure. My husband was very upset and demanded that I be "on his side" in this "argument." That's typically how this scenario goes for us. I pointed out that I didn't think there was an argument. I also don't like the condition of our son's room, but it's okay. No one is hurt. My husband let me off with "I won't argue with you because it's Mother's Day weekend." He's a wonderful man, and this is so stressful. Our younger son was dragged into two arguments in the span of 12 hours. Everyone that can have the strength to look into ourselves and see how this affects us is brave.

[@florme6494]

Ok, I finally have answers to my behaviour. After 43 painful years to all my family, friends, colleagues and now employees. I have every single issue that has been described. I didn’t even question one thing. Like many of you I was directed here thinking OCD was the problem. A detective mentioned it to me in brief conversation not long ago and it stuck with me. I’m so incredibly grateful to know this about myself. I will be forwarding this to my family in a hopefully calculated way. I will be telling my staff to research OCPD when our next clash happens. I will be admitting to my mistakes and my faults, faults that may be in my control and/or may be out of my control. I’m feeling very emotional to have finally come to a conclusion. I’ve been isolating myself to not feel the pain that I believe the world puts me through. Sorry, it was me this whole time, not you. It has been impossible for me to see, but I 100% see it now. Even if in conversations I’m right, it’s not my duty or place to even go there. Moving forward, I know I will be more understanding. But what saddens me is I don’t want to expose people to me. The only way is for me to achieve this is isolating myself this time not for me, but for everyone else. The first thought of achieving this is to not go to social events where conversation is the entertainment/purpose and not ever to get into deep conversation. I will socialise through sport where people are kept at arms length. My relentless pursuit of perfection will have to continue to help feel some sort of satisfaction and purpose. But my research will not go further than my own actions within. Words will not be shared unless asked or pressed. It’s important to not go into detail which I/we/OCPD love to do. It will be a hard road as I’m naturally an extrovert. Meaning also more people probably despise me. Me even writing all this makes me think it may help someone else. But also in the hope others will share their journey of how they deal with this unwanted disorder.

[@braydenhornbeck436]

I just learned that I have OCPD. I have not been diagnosed but it is pretty obvious. If you put this in a school prospective than in my opinion OCPD makes valid sense depending on the individual. Say you have 2 partners, they are assigned rules by the instructor. Both of witch do not complete their assigned tasks. Their actions then affect your grade leaving you feeling unfulfilled and frustrated. This person than figures "Well if I want it done right I guess I have to do it myself" since the other group members are not willing to hold up their end of the bargain. This person then burns himself out trying to keep up the pace for others feeling the need to hand out these "rules" so they don't have to put in twice the effort. Of course OCPD types can vary such as those who just downright have no ability to hear others out. However, when it comes to the task at hand, I believe that individual has every right to give out step by step pamphlet's if it falls on the persons ability to do their best.

[@ceilingfan1813]

What does it look like when you have both?? I'm starting to think I have both. I don't seem to fit the box of OCD, even pure O OCD doesn't seem to fit, unless I just haven't seen an experience exactly like mine before, but lately whatever is going on is extremely distressing. I'm constantly swinging between a desperate need for control over really big existential things that I feel I can never really have, being so overwhelmed that I try to avoid it, spiraling and overthinking about it, all while being aware that it shouldn't matter or shouldn't make me so upset. And yet there's almost always some aspect of the thing that makes sense, I can look at it from the outside and see why it's upsetting, but the rigidity of how I can't deal with it is almost confusing to me. It's clear that at the heart of it is this feeling of a profound lack of control, which realistically I know is part of life, but the issue is that that concept makes me profoundly distressed. I constantly think about the things that upset me that I can't change, every step I try to at least do something doesn't bring any relief. I thought OCD included this sense that compulsions bring a temporary sense of relief but I don't ever remember that happening. And still, simultaneously, I feel like in the same breath I'll be convinced these are real, straightforward concerns with a mythical solution that can't come about unless I and the whole world do something really specific. That it's actually better for me to be concerned than not even think about it. But I know my distress about everything is the bad thing.

[@jmfs3497]

My manager has OCPD and possibly narcissism. He doesn't seem to have any awareness of it, though, or just has extremely low empathy for other people. For 15 years at the same institution, I was sought after by clients and colleagues for my attention to high quality, valuable, efficient results. My clients and colleagues loved my work, and when I completed a project, other clients would clamor for me to produce something similar for their needs. I was also a straight-A student for 5 years, which is a very supported benefit offering of the institution. A great boss left, and the OCPD coworker was promoted. He's very good an ingratiating himself, over promising, saying yes to everything, but his results are dry and frenetically slow. As soon as he became manager he started calling me in my classes and insisting I check in constantly, to the point where I was so stressed at his lack of humanity that I dropped out hoping he would improve with time, not knowing he had OCPD yet. He didn't improve at all. When I mentioned returning to finish my degree he interrupted with "YOU DON'T NEED A DEGREE!" and then went on a 45 minute monologue of people that didn't have degrees. Never considering that I wanted to finish the 5 years of part-time coursework that I started. Simply mentioning that resulted in a "You have a bad attitude" monologue and how I am bad at my job and slow and bad in general and not nice. He went on to inviting himself to every client and colleague meeting on my calendar, and then eventually setting up meetings with my clients separately, and my collaborators individually, and then me separately, to manage each of my projects. No sense could be talked into him-it all resulted in punitive criticism, which is uncomfortable when someone is in a position of power. The clients and collaborators began emailing me and asking to meet secretly on every project, which was essentially impossible to do since the OCPD manager was so relentless in his triangulation of everyone. Now we are all excluded from working together, and I am put very last in every project which sometimes means I am starting a year after the client brings the project to the OCPD manager. Sadly, he doesn't actually do anything that helps me start or finish a project, he just focuses on what he wants over what the client wants, as well as a granular list of "DUE DATES" for every step of the process, which is impossible to predict since I have no control over clients lives or the physics of space & time. I operate and maintain a lot of different portable equipment for my job - Something with which I am an expert after 30 years in the field and 15 years at the institution. He insisted with negative reinforcement that he was in charge of organizing this equipment and now 15 years of knowing where equipment was is now constantly being reorganized every week. Something you used last week is now zipped up in an elaborate system of storage containers and in a completely different and unrelated spot since you last found it. His system is based on HIM using the gear at any given moment, not any practical sense of collaboration. He'll even request we all meet so he can update us on his new system of organization. It's like he specifically demands us to check in with him for every part of our process. You can't adjust a piece of equipment that you have been using for 15 years, or he will start exclaiming you are doing it wrong, walk up, and take it out of your hands. He has turned my position into entry level work. So many people have quit, and the only people that seem to succeed do so on Lip Service, not actually doing anything of productive value. All of work is garbage now. It all looks the exact same, regardless of what our colleagues ask for. All the intention behind the clients requests are indecipherable, leading to reworking every project after you complete it, because he wouldn't give you the correct info and wouldn't tell you who the client was. If you have OCPD and you think you are more perfect than those around you, let me tell you that you are not. No one is perfect. What works for you, may be the worst process for multiple people around you who are talented and have different ideas of what perfect means. Currently, with my experience with a manager with OCPD, I can only see Narcissism and OCPD as equally abusive and traumatizing. I want everyone to be happy, but not at the expense of everyone around them. Boundaries are important. Do things your way, but don't insist other people do things your way if they tell you they prefer doing things their way. The only solution I see with this person with OCPD is to try to cut them out of my life forever without wasting my time explaining it. Just ghost them.

​​​@@athensmajnoo3661 I think my boyfriend of 5 years has OCPD. I'm miserly myself, but he takes it to the extreme. He had a desk chair that was over 15 years old, all tatered, busted, and falling apart. I wanted him to throw it out, and cited that sitting in a worn out desk chair can cause long-term health problems and the appearance of it reminded me of trash. He argued with me and said I could buy him a new chair, but he won't spend the money himself. (This guy is 27 and makes 6 figures). Well, his mom bought him a new chair, but his old chair is split in half and still sitting in the living room till this day. I'm afraid to clean because he yells at me when I move his items to new spaces or discard broken items. There is black mold in the bathroom and thick crust of grim/dust on all of his surfaces in his car and room and kitchen, which is causing me anxiety and is harmful for our health. I asked him to hire someone to clean and get rid of the mold, but he keeps blowing me off and says it's okay to live like this and that I am wrong and dramatic. I believe that the mold is causing symptoms to become worse. His 2019 car has dents, is encrusted with pollen, expired registration of 3 years, and warning lights. I told him to fix his car and that i fear for my life because of the warning light. He says im being dramatic and it took over a year of agruing to get his car registered. The warning light is still on. His gym clothes smell from a mile a way, and he refuses to throw them away. The foot of his heater was broken, which cause the heater to touched directly on the ground causing a fire hazzard to the whole community because he lives in a condo, it was a huge argument to get rid off, he of course said i was being dramatic. The broken heater is sitting outside after 2 years of not using it. He is addicted to a substance and working out (he has a 6 pack abs). He has a strict diet and won't eat pizza, cheese, or anything with over 1 gram of sugar because its his quote "unhealthy." He has a strict schedule and horrible sleeping problems. He gets out of bed multiple times a night and I have to stay under the covers to be on my phone because the light bothers him. He is a workaholic, he logs in during his paid time off when we are spending quality time together. I have ADHD, clinically diagnosed at 7, so I am pretty tolerant of mess, but I can't even stand the filth building up in his place that I find myself cleaning. But he ends up yelling at me. You know how hard it's for a ADHD person to clean? His brother has autism. The list goes on....

Well i am not having intrusive thoughts about should. But i do mention to my wife that she says should a lot and i woud like to explain how should involve blame regrets guilt and anger. 😅 It's like a set up. Like "promess me this or that" . That asking me to agree with here when i don't. 😅 Any way. I am still trying to figue out what is wrong with me 🫤 Or enjoy what is good enough
