My sister really struggles with this with the dishwasher! (We both have OCD, what luck!!! And totally different themes atm lol) She has gotten much better because of doing it “incorrectly”, but she used to have total meltdowns when anyone got close and yelling matches with my mom about it, too. I’m sorry you’re going through that, but I totally agree with PayNoMind!! It’s friccin awesome that you did it wrong and observed how it made you feel. You can do this!!!

I do the same thing. Each fall when i was younger, i used to spend hours sitting on the floor sorting out the new school supplies between me and my younger siblings, and i used to have meltdowns when somebody even got near me. Exposing yourself to the problem by putting them away "incorrectly" and then being open about how u felt about it is awesome asf tho. Making "mistakes" and leaving them will make stress lessen over time, don't forget :)

I can’t stop crying. My thoughts are going insane, they’re so fast I can’t keep up. I want to tell everyone around me what’s happening (my family doesn’t even know about my OCD). I can’t seem to resist compulsions today. I’m freaking out. I want to give up. I feel like I’m suffocating in whatever is going on. I feel like I need to go to a hospital. I don’t know how to ask for help. I don’t feel okay. I don’t understand this at all. It feels like I took some random drug. I’m really scared I’m sorry, I am so panicked. It’s embarrassing but I feel so desperate for help right now I feel crazy

So I was at a family thing yesterday and my ice was bothering me and I kept washing my hands and my family noticed and started making fun of me for it and it was like non stop it made me feel really alone especially since they clearly know something’s up but they just make it worse instead of at least trying to help😕

i’ve already posted about this before but i keep thinking about it. i was sitting next to a dog and it was laying on its back laying face away from me. i kept getting intrusive thoughts about touching the dog inappropriately. and i was petting the dog to prove to myself that i wouldn’t. i remember i was leaning on the dog. then he kicked me with his back legs three times. i also was rotating my shoulder cause it pops and cracks when i do and i was trying to relieve it. i think i touched the dog and on purpose too, because thoughts were going through my head. after the dog kicked me i sat there for a second just pure panic and i ran to the bathroom, just crying non stop. i dont think i deserve to cry tho. i think my life is a over. the more i try to remember the more scary thoughts of what could’ve happened pop up. i’m just in denial and i want to be sent to a mental hospital.
