Hi everyone, i was just wondering if there are any germaphobes on here?

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!

@Ocdandme123 I dont have hocd and i truly cant imagine how difficult that must be to struggle with, im sorry you have to live with that. It's a new year so here's to us having hope and moving forward and doing our absolute best?
