Do people here get anxiety when they clean?

In the sense that I will freak out if there's the slightest discoloration or speck that should come off with whatever cleaning utensil I'm using. I break out my glasses to make sure it's spotless ( I'm farsighted).

I get pretty anxious when it comes to cleaning. I think my ADHD makes it harder to get and stay organized. Also, the bigger the mess, the greater my anxiety will be. It’s really hard to clean then.

I get anxiety if I'm rushing or being rushed.
