“I’m so OCD.”

In this post on my Janet Writes SubStack, I discuss why it’s worth reconsidering our casual use of “I’m so OCD.” We’ve all heard it. Maybe we’ve even said it. But this casually tossed phrase isn’t quirky — it’s inaccurate, dismissive, and part of a larger problem in how we talk about mental health. In this sharp, unapologetic editorial, I unpack the misuse of OCD in everyday language and challenge readers to reconsider the words they choose. It’s time we gave this phrase — and the stigma it perpetuates — a rest.
