Does anyone else literally get stuck in the bathroom because you washed your hands but then you touched a tap and or the towel and you keep going. Your parents are getting angry because of how long you have been in there and your breakfast is going cold? This happens everyday 4 me

Do your parents know about your ocd? If not, you should consider letting them know.

They do yes. They took me to get my diagnoses but they don’t rlly understand it

It's all ok. You're not alone. But remember to use this app and especially the SOS button on the bottom right for unexpected anxiety

Also since you said your parents don't really understand. They took you to get your diagnosis so they seem supportive? That's good! Maybe there's like a group for relatives of people who have OCD? We have that in my city, people can go there and the doctors explain everything to them and help them understand better, and I'm guessing the people can also share their worries and questions etc I don't know

I don’t know if this is enabling but I use water to rinse of the tap so I can convince myself anything that was there has washed away

This is a challenge for me as well but try focusing on one hand wash knowing that’s more than enough and to leave when that’s done no matter what you touch

I lose track of time when I’m acting on compulsions, especially in the bathroom. I keep a kitchen timer and set it for 5-10 minutes and the alarm always snaps me out of it. I also will have loved ones check on me if I have been in too long. If you think it would be helpful for you, ask your parents to be patient and physically be there at the bathroom door when they ask you to come out for breakfast and not to leave until you come out
