people with my disorder piss me off

well, i lost it the other day with this lady at my job who i think has ocd but I am not sure. all day long she picks on people about what they are doing wrong and what they ought to do to make the place run smoothly but she is not a supervisor...not even anywhere close to it!

I basically told her what I thought of her to her face and told her she needs to calm down and stop being my pretend boss. The anger had been welling up inside of me forabout threee months and I felt like I had to say something. thing is, i might have gone too far. when she left, I said "good riddance" under my breath and she heard me and told my supervisor. funny thing is..my supervisor can't stand her either so she really has nowhere to run.

my point is, I have had symptoms of ocd since I was young and It seems I can deal with it when I constantly urk myself about something..but when someone else does it around me it just adds to the frustration I have with my own disease. some of the stuff she complains about (like neatness) is stuff that I have worried about for years. as I see her worry about things, it just makes me realize my own faults-not to mention the fact that I don't like other people who aren't my boss telling me what to do. 8O
All my anxiety just made be explode on her...but I still kinda ask myself whether it was my anxiety or just real anger.

Have any of you had similar experiences where you told someone on your job exactly what you thought of them when they were annoying you and how you handled this with your anxiety?

I've never been in that situation fortunately but I kinda understand. But whether you'd had experience with ocd or not, being bossed around and nitpicked is enough to wear anyone down, boss or equal. Well done for speaking out about it maybe she might behave better now.

The title made it sound bad but you're annoyed with her because she's enforcing it on others... Would you be so annoyed if someones ocd only affected themselves?
