I could have written this! My life is exactly the same. It is exhausting. You’re not alone.

@niccOCD I understand. Realistically if the sink is clean you will be fine. And you would be fine anyway. It is very unlikely that anything on your sink would make you unwell. It’s our thoughts that make us think it’s not ok and that we need to wash our hands. Have you been diagnosed with OCD? Have you had any therapy or done any reading about OCD? Staying in the house makes your world very small and only exacerbates the thoughts. Going out, seeing friends, pursuing interests helps to distract from those thoughts.

@niccOCD Maybe try an initial call about working with a therapist on here. They will totally understand and want to help you. OCD is nothing to be ashamed about. I’ve had it for many years, read a lot about it and had therapy. It’s very real and it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. It’s very unfortunate and you need some help to try to manage it better because you deserve to have a happy fulfilled life.

Thank you for all the support. The most wicked thing of OCD is the time that it has taken from me. I am sure you all feel the same. There is a wonderful life out there, and for some brief moments during each day, I feel it. I feel like I am so selfish, and that OCD is all consuming, leaving little room for me to share my love back to my family in a consistent way.
