Handwashing and counting
Hello everyone, I struggle with believing I washed my hands the entire time I counted for a specific time such as 20 seconds. I guess I doubt that my hands were moving the entire time. I sometimes feel I need to have my partner watch me when I count and wash and that makes me believe I washed for the entire 20 seconds. Does anyone struggle with this? I don't want to count anymore as I know this is a compulsion. This started during COVID. I don't feel I know how to wash hands normally, without thinking about it and worrying if I did it enough. Any advice on how to fight this would be very appreciated. Thank you!
