Tourettic OCD

I haven’t been doing great recently and have been doing a lot of OCD research, but I’ve realized that I have way more compulsions and much less obsessions. I have done some research about Tourettic OCD… anyone have any thoughts? My most prominent one is having to wipe every surface that hits something hard? Almost like I need to erase the marks or fingerprints on everything. Having things be even too, etc. I’d love to hear anything if anyone wants to share!! Thanks.

It’s so interesting how OCD manifests in myriad ways. Although I don’t share this subtype, I know the feeling of *needing* to do something a certain way or else it doesn’t feel right. This is why I actually hate the “living with uncertainty” phrase. Please act with uncertainty instead. Go live your life. Purposely mess up your ritual and feel weird about it. Life is weird.

Thank you so much for the response! That’s good advice, I’m just always stuck in the process of beginning. Beginning the whole shift and change of realizing that small simple things don’t NEED to be as hard as they sometimes are… but i’ll give it a try. Thanks.
