Hi! Im sorry, i know it's hard but I'll admit selfishly I'm glad im not alone here with that. I was just wondering what some of your weirder compulsions and triggers are? It's completely fine if you dont want to share.

@jassullivan Well I spray myself with alcohol before I leave work, I wash my hands a million times before bed and can’t touch anything other than turn the light off before I crawl in or I’ll have to wash them again. I check my head for lice every night. I can’t touch any body part to the shower or shower curtain before I get out or else I don’t feel clean. I wipe down my sheets every night before I crawl in. I bend over in the mirror after peeing to make sure I have no toilet paper stuck in there ha and I’m sure so many people don’t touch their butt on toilet seats in public, and use paper towel to open bathroom doors. And I wipe down movie theater seats before I sit down

@Ocdandme123 I know there are people who have it way worse than that but if I don’t do those compulsions, I can not relax or continue on with what I’m doing

@Ocdandme123 Thank you for sharing, i have incredibly similar things and i know it can affect quality of life. I ugh, i have this really fucking bad one if you dont mind me sharing. I'll only share one so that i dont write a damn list haha but i have to lint roll my body 3 times after i shower and before i get dressed at any point of the day which ends up making my skin sensitive and red and can't even touch my bed till i lint roll it back and forth 6 times. I understand the shower thing, today my left buttcheek touched the shower door as i was stepping out and i had to turn the shower back on and clean my butt again?? fuck i hate ocd. Im always here if you need to vent or talk about a hard time you're experiencing. I hope that the therapy side of this app will be able to help you. The week tasks are hard but i feel so proud when i get myself to complete one. All the best, i will pray for you.

Well I’m the one that struggles with hocd. I can’t even get out of bed today and haven’t stopped crying. I pray and pray for a breakthrough and I just don’t know why this is happening. What is the purpose of me going through this? To be gay in the end or just be stronger than I ever have been before? I have no idea and I don’t want it to be the first reason. Ocd has effected me basically my whole life. I’m over it. And it’s worse than it ever has been before. I pray for you and I to do nothing but move forward ? I’m here if you need to talk too!

sorry if im putting to much detail in here I can take it down if it is too much and makes people uncomfy. Last night was watching some ex*pl*cit content while lying on the rug in the room in my house I spend most of my time and where my family usually goes into and it caused a physical reaction. I went to the bathroom to clean up and then sprayed the shower done and put bleach on the floor but I wiped the floor with a towel to kinda clean it but idk if I put enough bleach to clean it and if I got it in the areas that mattered and I sprayed Lysol on the bathroom counter to make sure no germs of my earlier reaction got any where but I ran out of Lysol after spraying everything but I made sure to spray the rug with some Lysol before I ran out but idk if I got everything I mean I focused on the rug but I didn’t spray all of it and I didn’t spray all the stuff that was in the room. And to make things worse after my reaction earlier I put my devices and charger on the floor of my room before washing my hands or my devices so I had to clean the floor in my room I used bleach but I didn’t put it everywhere on the floor which makes me anxious and idk if I cleaned my devices or charger well enough and I’m scared they are still infected. But back to the rug i sprayed it down with odoban it says disinfectant on it but I think it’s only for hard surfaces it disinfects but I still sprayed it around on the rug but I don’t know if it actually disinfected anything. And of course to make matters worse my baby cousins toys were in the room so I sprayed them with what little Lysol I had left but idk if I cleaned it well enough but I already put them with their other toys so idk what to do. After I thought I cleaned everything I put my devices on my mattress I don’t have my blankets on my mattress yet cause I washed them like a week or 2 ago and they are just laying on my bed but not put on my mattress so I’m scared my mattress if infected since I’m laying on my mattress with my feet on my chair and my devices are on my mattress. And idk I don’t want people getting those bad germs in them and I,worry about this a lot and Ik a lot of people will say that it isn’t that huge of a deal and I want to,believe them and it helps but my mind is always telling me that even if that’s true I have a responsibility to make sure everything is clean so people don’t get hurt and it doesn’t help that I’ve been so,itchy and idk why and my little brother is also itchy idk if it’s because I don’t clean well enough and it’s my germs or not but I’m tired do I need,to clean my mattress and covers again and reclean the rug I think I do but I’m trying to go against that thinking but it’s hard because I feel like a bad persons. And today I’m scared to leave my room i feel like I’m filthy and that the rug in the other room is contaminated and it doesn’t help I need to go to the doctor today when I’m feeling like anyone I’m around im infecting

Hello! I’m new here. Unfortunately I’m not able to afford a therapist but I’ve been doing a lot of research and I think a lot of my symptoms/thoughts align with OCD. I want to share some of what I experience and see if anyone else experiences the same and what resources helped you. I think I mostly experience contamination OCD. I’m constantly worried that something I do/touch is going to make me really sick and/or die. Especially with food, I’m constantly worried that I’ll accidentally have something on my hands when I eat, then I’ll touch the food and get that on the food, eat it and get sick. So I’ll wash my hands every time my hands touch any little tiny thing again and again before I eat, same with any forks/spoons, or I’ll even think I touched cleaner a few hours ago and I’ve washed my hands several times since then and I just washed them again but they still feel dirty so even if impractical I’ll use a fork and if my hands touch the part of the fork that touches the food then I can’t eat the food any longer or use that fork. Also at work I have these thoughts that I know are ridiculous but also give me very real anxiety. Like “if I don’t finish this order before that machine beeps its a sign I’m going to die” and then I have to rush to make sure I finish fast and then I’ll be like ok that’s so stressful I’m not going to think like that any more it’s ridiculous but then the thoughts keep coming back so I have to keep rushing. This is just a little tad bit of what I experience and I would love to hear from others as I haven’t met anyone else like me before. Thank you!
