Do I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?

Q: I can't sleep if things in my room aren't straight. I write down everything I eat. Making lists, cleaning and organizing makes me feel better. It bothers me when pictures are cropped manually. I can't stand it when people type with bad grammer. I like looking at colorful, organized graphic design. I basically don't like things being out of place. Am I a perfectionist? A neat freak? Or OCD? I think my need for things being organized/perfect/neat makes me feel better about chaos in life.

A: No actually I do not think that you have a disorder. I have a organization problem also. For example, I can't sleep if my feet are not washed, I can't sleep if the dishes in the sink are not properly put away and the garbage is not thrown away. I think that because you are organized it makes your life easier because you know what you need to do and what you are missing. I bet its making you crazy that I have so many grammar mistakes huh?
