Cleaning therapy?

[NikkiMomof2grls]

I am compulsive when it comes to cleaning up clutter.  I throw things away and then wonder where I put them only to find that I threw it out, thinking I didn't need it or want it. 

I clean when I am angry, when I am upset, when I have nervous energy.  My husband always knows when I am mad at him even if I deny it.  Everyone knows when I am mad.  I grab a broom, the vacuum, the duster, anything and get to work.  The adrenaline flows and if I don't do something I go crazy.  I have been known to clean the entire house in an hour or less when I get really bent out of shape.

I  have absolutely no nails. I chew them constantly they cant be pretty at all. I have an oral fixation to them i hate it. I also used to carry my toothbrush around and brush my teeth alot ive finally stopped carrying it around.

Sep. 28, 2008 at 5:31 PM my ex did and still does that. My kids have like no toys at his house because whenever he gets mad that the house is a mess he will go on a rampage and just throw stuff away. When we were together if he couldn't find something he would just start throwing things around and away - which made it worse. I am a lonely cleaner - the house has to be empty which means i clean slightly more then if i was angry.

That's funny, I am a lonely organizer.  When the house is empty and I get bored I turn on the music and start putting things in new places.  People come home and can't find anything.
