Obsessive Cleaning Disorder

​Obsessive Cleaning Disorder LLC represents my personal journey of incorporating mental healthcare into my daily living.  It started with burnout, then seeking an adhd diagnosis (...which then led to other things!) and evolved into a greater journey toward peace of mind.  I quit my decade long career in software to clean. For me, this name reclaims the word ‘disorder’ and highlights my strengths. While I respect there is a controversial aspect to it, I have thoughtfully engaged with people who shared similar experiences as myself, across varying types of "disorders" whether obsessive-compulsive, neurodivergent, or otherwise to ensure my choice was not objectively harming to them, while easing my own anxieties and finding my own peace.  I also respect the opinions of those who feel hurt by my mission and "cutesifying" such a debilitating condition - which is not my goal - but turning a confusing ‘mess’ into something that brings peace, is why I do what I do.  My old roommate used to say "it has to get messier before it gets cleaner" and that's what I endorse.
