Do these things piss you off as much as me?
Do you know what is almost worse than having a child with OCD? Seeing your child be surrounded by people who just don’t get OCD. Siblings who tease their brother or sister for their “strange” behavior. Partners who tell your child to “just stop!” Relatives who think they are being helpful when they tell you “they’ll grow out of it.” And teachers who don’t understand how your child can have OCD when they just don’t see it. Explaining OCD to people who just don’t get it can be daunting. OCD can be complicated even for parents to understand.

There's no doubt that our brains like order - symmetry, self-repeating patterns, perfect alignments, and intuitive placement. Seeing such satisfying pictures pleases our mind and makes it easy to understand our surroundings. On the other hand, imperfections of flawed things cause us to pause and do a double-take, annoying the hell out of the perfectionist inside us. Now, if you are an OCD-prone person, scroll down carefully unless you wish to have a masochistic session looking at these pictures.
The real title of this post should be: "The True Neuroticism of Jen" However, I didn't want to scare you away from the offset so there you have it. We're creeping up on our close date for our new build house but we're kind of in a lull as far as things to do. All of our items have been packed and in storage for months, so we can't keep busy by filling boxes. So instead I've delved into the deep, dark world of my organizing neuroticism to find entertainment. The great thing about this method of planning out your kitchen organization is it can be done even if you aren't moving. If you would like to overhaul your kitchen, it's always best to plan - so this will work for you too. Materials Composition Notebook {or loose leaf paper... whatever} Pen Post-It/Sticky Notes Scissors Ruler {Optional. I didn't use one but some people might} The last time we visited the house we opened up all the doors of the cabinets to get a good idea of the layout. Obviously, if you're overhauling your current kitchen, you'll have it right in front of you to plan. I started by sketching out the entire kitchen. Thank goodness I watched a ton of Blues Clues, otherwise I wouldn't know how to sketch out the basic shapes of items around the kitchen. This is also an open-faced depiction of the cabinets, meaning if the doors and drawer fronts were pulled off - what would the cabinets look like. Additionally, I denoted drawers by putting the dark triangle in the corner. Next, I took some small Post-Its and cut them to size (keeping the sticky edge). I listed out all the items I can recall being in my kitchen. I know this will certainly grow and change along the way, so I made extras and kept them in my notebook for those future edits. Finally, I placed them. I moved them around in the process and I'm sure I will continue to move them, but this has really helped me get my head around what I want my kitchen to look like. Even better, it has truly opened my eyes to how much more storage we will have compared to the old house. An alternative to this if you are overhauling a kitchen in your house is to simply write your items on big Post-It notes and stick them on the doors and drawers. Much easier than drawing a picture - but I'm biased towards practicing your Pictionary skills. Happy Organizing!

Product design is a well-paid profession for a reason. While it may be tempting to cut costs and corners by going DIY with a YouTube tutorial instead of hiring a professional product designer, unforeseen consequences lurk for the untrained and unprepared. That said, it can be quite fun to have a laugh at other people's mistakes, and mistakes are no more obvious than when it comes to crappy design and engineering because they are there for all to see!

Making your inner reality calm regardless of outer reality chaos
OCD feels like a trap. Once you're stuck in the OCD cycle, it can be hard to find your way out. I use a 3-pronged approach for conquering OCD: 1) exposure and response prevention (ERP) to break the cycle, 2) EMDR therapy to get at the root of OCD fears, and 3) mindfulness skills to calm anxiety. #1 ERP for OCD: Breaking the Cycle Exposure and response prevention, a cognitive-behavioral technique, is the gold standard treatment for OCD, supported by lots of research.

Mindfulness practices can be implemented in OCD treatment to help individuals observe their intrusive thoughts in a non-judgmental manner without engaging in compulsions. Becoming mindful of the present moment helps an individual learn that intrusive thoughts will come and go and do not need to be acted on. Mindfulness for OCD can reduce the distress
