Tell them to stop giving in to you. I used to do this with my wife. Now she refuses and I feel stronger.

When family or friends "help" by doing compulsions, it's called "accommodation". Accommodation let's OCD keep getting worse. For recovery to happen, accommodation needs to be gradually decreased until it is eliminated. I'm attaching two links. One is a list of different ways loved ones accommodate OCD. Scroll down to page 4 and 5.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.dmertlich.com/assets/FAS.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiIjO7tt6LqAhWglnIEHRYvAhsQFjABegQIBhAB&usg=AOvVaw1jedLB42Z6xtn5_jAlnHCl The other is an article about how to create a family contract to reduce accommodation.https://iocdf.org/expert-opinions/expert-opinion-family-guidelines/

My daughter avoids lots of things due to contamination ocd and also asks us to wash hands wipe Face / hair if she thinks nose has touched anything as this is her trigger ?? Aski v is not to Itch nose or touch nose etc. Reassurance mostly from us , which I really need to stop giving as this is a compulsion carries out by someone else and for us not to go In her room or turn away when I Put food down. Really need to stop but her sisters Levels are so highly

Mine got so bad, I have too always ask my bf if I can check his phone too make sure he deleted photos off us. And I know it hard too ignore the thoughts, they just make me feel so sick and stressed and I just cry all the time.

I assume you live your daughter and want her to get better. In order to do the best thing for her the reassurance has to stop immediately. Yes it will be painful for all parties at first. Tolerate the pain to see the success.

question
does anyone else use the fact that they dont like their thoughts as a confirmation/compulsion, and or when you go through something stressful with little to no compulsions take it as a sign they actually like it? is this apart of usual rumination or am I expirencing something different? and how do you deal with it?

Can Napping Be a Compulsion?
At times, my intrusive thoughts get so intense that all I can do is lay frozen in my bed and hope I fall asleep, and usually I do even if I'm not tired. My brain just wears me out and I wanna escape through sleep. (Sadly it doesn't work all the time)

Do you have to do erp?
I’ve noticed that I’m somewhat happier also ignoring my thoughts than I am instead of doing compulsions (I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired atp) but I’ve heard you’re technically supposed to do erp rather than pushing under the rug. But idk if I have a thought I just refuse to think about it again and im fine even if I want to do compulsions
