Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

All this time, I always associate Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) with being clean and neat freak.. even though it's not really the definition of OCD, but just like we like to use the word "autistic" to someone who's fixated to their Blackberry, we oftentime use the word Obsessive-Compulsive to a person who's meticulous, or perfectionist, and most of the time clean- and neat-freak. Wikipedia says that those persons might not have OCD, but OCPD instead (Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder)

What's the difference? ha ha...

Anywho, I began drawing my own conclussion, that one could be called OCD or OCPD if s/he has a fixation or obsession about anything, not only cleanliness and neatness.. For example, I recently diagnosed myself as one, because I can't stand unpunctuality. I hate waiting to death, even if it's only 5 - 10 minutes off from the original plan, and I could go on rampage because of that.

It may sound like a mere justification of my own behavior (he he), but the more I think of it, the more it sounds just right. Because, even though I know for a fact that I'm a person who can be calm at one time, and suddenly snap the next time due to a small annoying matter (just ask my bf :P) But nothing irritates me MORE than unpunctuality, and not-sticking to the plan. Which is why I think I have an OCD of specifically this..

But now that I've read my own words... could it be possible that I also suffer from manic-depressive disorder (or Bipolar disorder)...

Maybe I should go see a shrink... o.O,,
