Beckham Admits OCD Condition is ‘Tiring’

It must be a very difficult condition to live with and we do feel sympathetic for Beckham as he attempts to describe his life with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

The football star admits that suffering from the condition is “tiring”.

The celebrity says he has “accepted” his condition but still has the need for everything to be “perfect” before he can carry on with his day.

The condition sees sufferers compelled to undertake particular rituals, repetitive routines and habits to stave off anxiety.

Beckham said it is nothing to worry about.

“I've accepted it,” he said.

“I'm just very obsessive with certain things. Everything has to be in order. That's the way it is.

“Walk into a hotel room and before I can get settled I have to unpack, everything has to be perfect; the magazines the right way, the drawers in the right way, or whatever. It is, it's tiring. But it's more tiring if it's not done the right way.”

And Beckham says he's not the kind of guy who does things excessively, and this includes drinking alcohol.

“I let my hair down with my family, the children, my close friends,” he told Esquire.

“I like- I love actually- a glass of good red wine. When was I last drunk? At the weekend. I had the day off so I had a couple of glasses of red wine. But I'm not a big drinker. I don't do things excessively.”
