Welcome to the wonderful world of OCD!
Seriously, we're not doctors, but as someone who deals with OCD in its many manifestations, I can tell you that you sound exactly like me.
If you just liked things to be clean, I'd say you're just a neat freak. There's a huge difference between your typical neat freak, who will often be called OCD by their peers, and someone who actually suffers from it. The person who suffers from OCD will often let their life go to pot, all to maintain a certain way of living.
OCD is an anxiety disorder. When things aren't the way you need them to be (room is a mess, etc.) then you feel a great deal of discomfort. For instance, I have stayed up until 5 in the morning rewriting pages of homework because they didn't look right and the thought of just saying "Good enough" made me cry.
The great thing is, it can be treated with a combination of medication and behavioural therapy. The medication helps to alleviate the anxiety. The behavioural therapy helps you to realize why you do it, how to break the patterns and how to get over your hangups. You should have a talk with your family doctor and let them know that you think you're experiencing symptoms of OCD. They should be able to refer you to the appropriate mental health professionals.

Well that's good you strive for perfection. You need to accept that error is okay and that what makes you better by making errors and being able to like not be so picky. I think that because of what is happening it is getting worse , and you need help. Get out with friends , do not try to stay away from your whole organized and pretty nicley done up standards , you'd be amazed. That's a great quality to have , but it's taking you to a bad road. It's okay you think most people are slobs , but that's just life. no one is perfect and you got to accept that. Your problem is that you just need help , meaning you want to have everything too perfect , but at the same time you get mad at people for your hobby. try to limit what you do and clean and organize less , I know it's hard , but you have to do it. Just don't let it control your life. My advice to you is clean less try to get into something is like cleaing and organization and switch so then you won't hurt anyone's feelings. I'm sorry that that is happening , but if it get's too far then , I think you should go see a councillor or something among those lines , or occupy yourself with something.
Good luck girl : )
