Pick pick pick…
Anybody else pick their fingernails then put the nails in their pocket? I’m going through a not littering phase.

I'm not much of a nail picker. But sort of relating...I do constantly find insects of different types on the floor in my house..some alive. Many dead or barely hanging on. I always have to stop what I'm doing and pick them up, bring them outside and put them in the ground. They need placed on their feet. Not in their backs. That way they have a chance. Yes I want the lil fellas to live...but it's also a nuisance ..always happens when it's cold, Ive just locked the doors for the next night and getting comfortable. Huge inconvenience. Have to stop Everything I'm doing at the moment. If I don't help them out, I feel I'm being judged by God. And I'm a bad person. Relating to my OCD. .I think this has more to do with a compulsion. .need feel the relief of setting them free outside. Otherwise the bad ruminations/obsessions come. Crazy stuff

yes! ive been doing this for years and im just now ealizing that its probably an ocd thing 🥴 I have pretty naturally weak nails so they split or break on the sides a lot if I'm not taking vitamins or painting them with anything, especially bc I tend to pick at my fingers and nails in general so it makes them a lil weaker. so if I find a break in one and I'm unable to get to a nail clip or file I will just rip the whole nail off plus usually my other nails bc I hate when I have just one short one. Sometimes I'll hide them in my pocket or find a bathroom and dispose of them there. I've been getting in the habit of doing my best to leave them alone until I can fix them with clippers or a file, i enjoy having my nails a lil long and pretty so it's worth it! 💅🏻

@lil' pound cake I seem to be winning the battle with picking my nails too. I don’t let it bother me and quite often I have nails now.

Hand washing
I need advice. I’m constantly washing my hands after going to the bathroom/touching something I find gross, but it doesn’t stop at just washing. I have to keep washing til I feel right (usually 3-4 times). It also isn’t just my hands, I go all the way up my forearms. I know in my head that once is enough. But I can’t kick this repetitive behavior. I know I should just start only washing it once but I don’t know if I can handle the panic that will come after. I need advice/tips if anyone’s gone through something similar what worked for you. Im just sick of this

Lists
Lists lists lists, bane of my life. Since I would say last 4 years any worry that pops in my mind I put down on the notes app on my phone then come back to it sometime. Is this OCD?
Figuring it ...

Newly diagnosed and Curious.
Hi, I’m new to this app and newly diagnosed. Question for you all, What things did you normalize and do without a second thought that when diagnosed, you realized was actually your OCD? Mine was how concerned with germs I am. I hold my breath when I open a door so the rush of wind doesn’t infect my lungs from whatever is in the room. I thought everyone was really careful and concerned like me. But Ive learned it’s not normal the lengths I go to. What was yours?
