OCD rule: Having to do compulsions in the shower
One of the big compulsions I recently developed is a rule in which I can only do physical compulsions when I'm in the shower- which is doing research on my phone. I end up doing it for hours until I feel some sort of relief AND I cant finish at a certain time if my OCD believes that 12-3pm is a bad time for example. Il either have to finish the research compulsions before 12 or wait after 3 if I go over. I suffer with Just Right OCD and this is absolute hell that I'm aware of. I don't actually have any contamination fears though, but the bathroom and shower seems like it became like a "safe space" and where I'd often feel relief after these compulsions.
