OCD Michelle has only happened once, and that was tonight for about 30-45 minutes.

When it's "Little Michelle" I'm basically babysitting (especially since she likes to put things in her mouth, like her ballet shoes and styrofoam boxes and my shoulder and her hands and the front seat of the car and whatever else she can get her hands on). This is by far the most common one (other than being normal obv) and isn't difficult to deal with except when we're in public because she gets really shy. I occasionally bribe her with M&Ms to do things she doesn't want to do like go in a store with me.

When it was "Mean Michelle" it was like something out of a Stephen King movie. I had to restrain her hands with my hands and get her into the back of my dad's truck and he drove us to the hospital at like 3 in the morning. That's probably the most scared I've ever been in my life, but I had this weird clarity thing going on.
