Do you ever use the term OCD flippantly?

Question

For example do you say ‘I’m so OCD’ 
Or if you have an anomalous bad thought you’ll call it an ‘intrusive thought’

Answer

In the past yes, but I’ve learned it is offensive so I don’t anymore.

Answer

No I don't because I haven't been diagnosed with ocd.

Answer

No, I have told people that I'm a perfectionist though

Answer

Absolutely not. Just like I dont flippantly talk about addiction when I have a glass of wine, major depressive disorder after watching a sad movie, or brain cancer when I have a headache.

Answer

Meant to put no. I actually have OCD.

Answer

When I refer to a specific behavior, I say it's "obsessive" or "compulsive" but not OCD because that is a condition that needs to be diagnosed. Like my 2 year old daughter has a compulsion to close doors. She really does, but I wouldn't say she's OCD. She just really needs all doors to be closed. Haha.
