Fiona Apple Quotes

I think I have minor obsessive compulsive disorder. Everything has to be tidy and just right.

OCD is an anxiety disorder, one that brings conscious intrusive thoughts and compulsions - 'Touch the bannister. Pick up that rock. You'd better do it, or something terrible will happen.'

I have thoughts - obtrusive thoughts and rituals that have to - it's like a broken re - a skipping record. And if these thoughts or these triggers happen to me through maybe shaking a hand or just a thought or just - then I can't get past it and move on with my life.

OCD is a really serious condition - it's a proper thing. It's not just, 'Oh, you like your pens to be straight'. For me, it would always go in tandem with being unhappy. The unhappier I was, the worse it got.

I have got this obsessive compulsive disorder where I have to have everything in a straight line, or everything has to be in pairs.

As an OCD guy, I find change difficult.

I've never told anyone this before, but I'm an obsessive-compulsive. I go back to my hotel room every evening and put the coat hangers back in order and open my bag and rearrange it. It takes a lot of my time, but if I don't do it I can't sleep.

I always thought I was depressive, and I only recently realized that I have more of an anxiety disorder than chronic depression.

I'm compulsive.

I'm OCD beyond comparison.

I've never been to a psychiatrist so have never gotten to the point where I could be formally diagnosed with any disorder. But I definitely have anxiety.

Yeah. I do get incredibly anxious. Almost borderline panic attacks.

I do have a touch of OCD, and I used to obsess about research. But I'm better than I was. Gone are the days when I would drive to a set of traffic lights to find out if you could turn left.

I have very, very strong obsessive-compulsive issues. I'm very particular.
