OCD
OCD is not an adjective. It is a full-on mental illness. People say things like, ‘Oh, you have OCD? That’s cute.’ But it’s not cute, it’s like having a tiny, angry monster inside your head that won’t stop bugging you.
My teacher said, ‘You have OCD? That’s adorable.’ I wanted to punch her.
My brother called me ‘crazy’ because I straightened my pencils before class.
My mom said I was ‘overreacting’ when I had to fix my bed twice.
