George Harrison Suffered From OCD

You learn something new every day!
While we feel like we hear a lot about celebrities having OCD, we never knew that Beatle George Harrison had it as well.
Here’s what the new book, called BackStage Pass VIP, says:

├óΓé¼┼ôWhile under extreme personal and professional pressures in the late 1960├óΓé¼Γäós and early 1970├óΓé¼Γäós, Harrison├óΓé¼Γäós OCD symptoms accelerated. His need for order, extreme neatness and disciplining his life to be controlled and predictable was stifling — a burdensome form of self-imprisonment.”

We really can’t imagine what that’s like!
Here’s an example of George’s issues:

├óΓé¼┼ôAt his recording sessions Harrison employed a tea boy, a fellow whose sole job was to brew tea and immediately tidy up the empty cups and scattered napkins,” Davis wrote. “The tea boy was under strict orders — no sooner did a musician put down his cup then it was instantly confiscated along with soiled napkins.
“It appeared that for Harrison, wrestling with OCD symptoms, one wayward teacup or crumbled napkin constituted a distracting, paralyzing, chaotic mess that hindered his concentration and made him extremely nervous.├óΓé¼┬¥

WOW!
That’s intense!
We feel so bad for those that have to live with that burden — we wish there was something we could do!
Also, we wonder if it got worse or better before George passed away.
So sad!
