OCD may be?: Obsessive and compulsive disorder or ocd is associated with obsessive thoughts which increase anxiety and to decrease it people develop compulsions or rituals to control it. Obsessions could be shopping, feeling dirty, or clothes being not clean enough. Avoidance to touch for fear of dirt or germs is also common. All time consuming resulting in chronic lateness. Consult physician & seek treatment.
