I think I have a problem....

I have this intense stress that overcomes me when things are not organized neatly. Or if I buy something that could last a lifetime and someone breaks or loses it then I have to buy it again and again. Lol. Like tweezers.

But mainly being unorganized or late really really stresses me out. I have towels folded a certain way. Canned foods organized and facing forward. Everything in the kitchen is a big issue.

I would love to be as carefree as others but I can't get over things like this. I see it then immediately it stresses me out. I think I've lost it. Smiley Happy

I thought that was when you turned the lights off 3 tomes in a row everytime or something. Haha.

I think I'm responsible for everything in our family and I just get this way because it makes accomplishing things easier.

I would wish so much to take a bit of your organisation and give you a little bit of my disorder and this would make both of us a bit happier  Smiley Happy  .. too bad it does not work that way Smiley Sad

Re: I think I have a problem....

You're right. I do not have children.
I could only imagine...

I go to my mother-in-law's house and feel like the walls are closing in. She has so much junk in her house. You have to move something off the counter to use it. Every surface is cluttered.

Oddly enough normal people are drawn to grocery stores that are neatly organized!
