Showering and sanitizing, I can’t get in my bed without showering and other people can’t get in my bed and if they do I need to wash the sheets after. I have to shower after I poop lol and if I eat before bed I need to shower. I deal with contamination ocd, health ocd, and HOCD

I also pick at my skin which is interesting because I’m so scared of illness and I know they could get infected but it doesn’t matter

I mainly have mental compulsions like reassuring myself that everything’s okay, wishing I could change something in the past or how something should have gone for it to be perfect and not a mess, reviewing my thoughts, feelings, and conversations with other people, I used to have magical thinking ocd as well and I would obsess over the numbers 11:11, 2:22, 4:44, and 5:55 and I would always think they meant something or something bad was going to happen to me. I crack my back joints and my fingers A LOT like obsessively I can’t get out of bed or a seat or anything without doing them first it’s annoying because it’s gotten to the point where it hurts to do it.

Well compulsivly, I have restless leg syndrome which is prolly more from ADHD than OCD... um, I compulsively read several different theories over the existence of the universe and the end of it all... ummm I have night terrors and also can’t sleep. I don’t eat but 1 time a day. I dont shower sometimes from lack of energy from thinking.

Oh gosh, skin picking, hair plucking, touching things with both hands, COUNTING is a massive one - everything is best in 3s, knocking on wood, cracking my joints

Going to the bathroom even I don’t have to go, picking my skin/hair, counting in my head, bouncing my leg, tapping the table and tense up my body

My compulsions are showering, sanitizing, and cleaning anything and everything that I suspect is even slightly dirty. I don’t bring any outside things into my house and when I get home from work I get out of the car and I immediately strip so I don’t have to worry about my dirty clothes contaminating my clean house. My washer and dryer are in my garage lol. I don’t bring my shoes inside. I have bulk Clorox wipes in the garage so I can sanitize my phone and the things that absolutely need to be brought in. Once I’m inside I have disposable booties that I wear to the bathroom and then once I’m in the shower I take them off and throw them away in the trash can under the sink. I think you get the idea lol. I’m extremely detail oriented. I also have sexual orientation OCD and health concern OCD. I’m obsessive about timing and the numbers 3, 7, and 21. I don’t allow anyone into my house and I live alone. There’s other stuff too but I don’t want to type all day and bore you.

Excoriation big time, it’s my number one compulsion. Also checking and going to the bathroom, even if I don’t actually have to go.

My boyfriend is staying the weekend at his parents house for his moms birthday and my ocd was quiet for most of the day and then I had the thought of my off has been quiet so I must not actually love my boyfriend which then just kept spiraling. I did resist compulsions to the best of my ability. I think there’s some mental ones I do as well but idk what they are. Anyway how do you guys resist mental compulsions what could some mental compulsions be?
