Sami Sheen is clapping back at the haters who don’t believe she has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The influencer and daughter of Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen took to TikTok on Wednesday, July 30, to address followers who cast doubt on her condition.
“I made a video talking about my OCD, and everyone got mad at me, saying I don’t actually have OCD,” began Sheen, 21. “So I’m gonna tell you guys more things that I do that I’m pretty sure are OCD.”
Sheen then listed a host of behaviors she says demonstrate her condition, beginning with touching the “same exact” part of the outside of an airplane with her left hand every time she boards.
Her video came after a post she uploaded on Saturday, July 26, in which she criticized people who claim to have OCD because they need to keep their room “clean and organized.”
“All right, well, I’m so OCD that even if I buy something from the grocery store that day and I read the expiration date over and over and over and over and over again, somehow, I will convince myself it’s a fake expiration date and it’s actually expired a year ago,” she said.
Sheen listed more examples on Wednesday, admitting she does not know why she does some of them.
“The guest bathroom, every time I come home, I have to go in there and open the curtains to check,” she said. “What am I checking for? I don’t know. I just have to do it. I’ve done it since I was 10 years old.”
Sheen also spoke about how she can’t sit behind the driver’s seat in a car, can’t have her back to the wall in a restaurant and needs to be able to see everyone’s food at the table.
OCD is a condition that “features a pattern of unwanted thoughts and fears known as obsessions,” according to the Mayo Clinic.
“Ultimately, you feel driven to do compulsive acts to ease your stress,” the medical center explains. “Even if you try to ignore or get rid of bothersome thoughts or urges, they keep coming back. This leads you to act based on ritual.”
Though Sheen did not say whether she has received a formal diagnosis, the description lines up with what she describes, including her need to wash her hands after being outside “until I can physically feel the germs leaving my fingers.”
“I can’t believe I’m telling the internet this s***,” Sheen concluded. “I have so many other things I do. But just so you guys get the gist of it, I do in fact have OCD, and it’s only getting worse.”
