Any one manage to reduce over washing hands or long showers? What did you do to wash less? Especially during days you feel contaminated.

For me I feel fine during the day, but I can’t touch anything after showering. You just have to slowly adjust to touching items that seem partially clean and work your way up. Don’t wash your hands for long periods of time and limit your showers. Set a timer up outside and reduce the time you take in intervals. Force yourself to get out or have someone else help you. Try tackling things that make you very uncomfortable then the smaller ones won’t seem as bad. ＼(^ω^)／

Hi master. I’m Actually very similar to you. During the day I feel contaminated anyway so it’s not bothersome but by evening is when I’m hyper clean and shower long and over wash.

I have but somedays are much harder than others! I try to look st people Who don’t have contamination OCD and dictate when they wash their hands vs don’t. Some really should wash more haha but for example, home is kind of a safe space for me so I don’t wash my Hands constantly work to actively only washing following using the bathroom and that’s it. Occasionally before eating food but I try really hard to limit it to one thing. Then I expanded to other places and challenges. Still a working progress for sure but it does get better just takes small and consistent steps

Lark, do you have any tips on how to overcome the contamination at the end of the day?

Master so far no. This is my struggle right now. At the end of the day I shower and wipe all things I consider contaminated and it takes 2 hours. Hang in there.
