Hey we are all suffering. I want to die almost everyday and I have contamination ocd too. My family distanced themselves from me because I hurt them because back then I couldn’t touch, hug, or accept kind gestures like them doing my laundry for me. My current relationship is deteriorating because I’m constantly on edge and can’t do housework while they’re working so hard. I’m practically disabled because going to the bathroom is so tiring I can’t do anything else but lay in bed where ocd attacks my thoughts. All themes matter. OCD is not an adjective. It’s not just cleaning. I can’t imagine how tired they must be from always cleaning when just touching random things is so tiring for me.

You made my day because for a moment there I forgot all the things I need to do. It's actually worse than I made it seem. I have a list so long and never get caught up. I am in constant fear of touching something or it touching something because then I have to clean anything it touched because it reminds me of something bad. But now that I read it again it looks like am just this happy little cleaner with a sparkling house!

@Europe2018 That's not fair Europe2018. Pigpens OCD is just as valid and traumatic as yours. Let's be Teamplayers.

@Europe2018 Try living with contamination OCD and then calling it "nothing." Though it's in a different way, contamination obsessions and compulsions cause as much distress for us as your thoughts cause you.

No matter the theme - the feelings we get are similar. And they are excruciating for us all. So really there is no better and worse OCD theme! I'm sorry Pipgen you are struggling. Have you tried resisting the urge to clean? I'm also thinking you could try to set an alarm for bed time and then go to bed, no matter how strong the urge to keep cleaning is. Then see the next morning if it got any better.

My partners mad because of my OCD
Last night I was staying at my boyfriend’s house and couldn’t sleep. I felt like i desperately needed to go back to my parents and clean and organize my room. This has happened a few times before when I was staying at his place. Since then he’s been very upset with me. Does anyone else’s partner do this? Any advice? It’s been hard. He’s made me feel so shameful for having OCD. As if it’s not tough enough /:

I hate repeating actions
I’m so stressed, my mind is always telling me to recheck my messages that I sent because what if I said something racist, inappropriate or mean to the person I was messaging. Or what if I post something inappropriate or rude, the only way I can somewhat cope is by logging out of my socials every night. But even that is a long progress. Like I have to make sure to read every message I sent and that it’s safe for me to leave it for the night. And if it doesn’t feel right I have to log back in over and over until it looks and feels good to me. I’m so exhausted lol:,)
