Every morning I worry about whether or not I'm going to complete my rituals a very specific way. My biggest issue is getting dressed "wrong" and have to keep doing it until finally I give up and call into work. Anyone experiencing similar ocd and got any advice?
Yes, and do it all wrong, or half of it wrong, or some of it wrong. Then let the discomfort be there.
Good advice that kind of makes me look at it differently not ignore the discomfort but accept it
I spend soooo much time making sure my mascara is even (checking and rechecking) and making sure the cuffs on my jeans are even and feel just “right”, it’s exhausting
I experience this as well. I am a college student and there have been times I will miss my class because of this. Now when the is happens I do my best to accept it and go on with my day and I remind myself that tomorrow is a new day.
I haven’t picked my face and 3 weeks and just did and was so sad about it, I know recovery isn’t a straight line but it’s so disappointing every time
