can ocd be limited to one exclusive environment?

I lived with someone once who was freaky about the bathroom. I was cool about it because it was brilliant in there. Didn't seem to care much about the rest of the place though. So I guess it may be more common than one would think. Always with the lights too, these little rituals; flick on; flick off; seven times or five maybe. No harm done, if it's important to them what the heck. I wonder where they are now? Probably has a real nice and clean bathroom and they're flicking the living bejeez out of those lights!

Yes of course. It's not like ocd is a rational, logical course of action. It's ocd so it can take the form of just about anything. Maybe this specific room is important to you in some way or maybe not. The question is not: "can ocd be limited to one exclusive environment, the question is: "how did I get it and how do I get rid of it"? By the way, if something really nasty has happened in this room it could be that you're trying to purify the room of that incident. Nevertheless, if it bothers you or influences you maybe you should seek some help.

my wife has OCD, and currently we're living in a one-room apartment, but before that, she had her room, which was clean, and everything else was (in her mind) dirty and she had to wash her hands before returning to her room, and other problems...
now she has an area around the bed which she considers clean, and the rest dirty

My wife is completly obsessed with a clean house, but not just one room. I think you are OK with that.

Yep I can't stand a dirty kitchen. That is where your food and drink is prepared and eaten.
Then second place goes to the bathroom...

OCD can rear its head it almost any way one could imagine and in ways that you probably couldn't.

Yes it can, unfortunately.
Can you visit my apartment for a weekend?
