My aunt has it, and it is so bad--she claims--that she can't work.
She's a college-educated woman, intelligent, and capable, so why shouldn't she have to work like the rest of us?
I mean, granted, the OCD gives her very annoying habits--like collecting literally TONS of useless junk and not throwing it away (and she gets FURIOUS if you tell her that she needs to clean it up!), but how does that render her unfit for employment?
Maybe she shouldn't be an accountant, as she'd have to check her figures over and over and over again, but there's other types of work she could certainly do.
Do you know anyone with OCD who claims that it's so bad they cannot function--i.e. can't work or maintain a household or have relationships?
It is a very strange, annoying illness, that's for sure!
