Yea I’ve lived in a few places over the past few years where the floor felt like this it sucks. How do you deal with getting your feet in bed? Do you clean them before going to bed? Do you treat the end of your bed like it’s dirty? I do both honestly I’ve been cleaning my feet with hand sanitizer before bed every night which is probably really bad for my skin lol..

@Anonymous I treat the end of my bed like it's dirty. Try not to let my baby touch it.

@compulsion5000 That’s the worst. Especially when you’re trying to go to bed at night and you feel so restricted and you can’t touch your blankets too low down :(

@Anonymous I don't have it that bad at the moment. I can touch it with my butt (sitting on it) or my feet but not my hands.

@compulsion5000 yep, foot of bed is dirty. stopped being able to even use blankets a couple months ago because sometimes they slip off and touch the floor

@teeth Yes the same thing happens to me I’m so worried about them touching the floor. If only a little bit touches I’m usually okay to just spray that bit with disinfectant or sometimes throw them in the wash. That’s awful though I’m kind of scared of getting to that point. What do you do instead to stay warm??

@teeth Been doing something that really helps with the blankets, I tucked the foot end and one side of my comforter under the mattress and it’s been working really well. I have one side untucked so I can get in but the corners and the other sides are tucked so it can’t move any farther or droop at all.. it’s working really well for me and I wanted to come back and let you know if you haven’t tried it yet.

idk
I feel like I’ll never lead a normal life again with OCD, my thoughts have begun to be convince especially about POCD. I feel like so sad and down that this will be my life forever. I’ll never get to fall in love again without intrusive thoughts. I’ll never be worth falling in love with. I can never be intimate again. I’m just done, my life is over. I can’t even look at my nephew and niece anymore without the smile fading. It feels like I’m so nasty and then my brain convinces me this is how I feel. That there’s some part of me that is a p*do and that’s it. I’m a disgusting human being for that. I just feel hopeless

I can't do this anymore
I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.
