I don't know where to begin, all I know is that OCD is ruining my life. My mother is crying because I'm like this. I never want to cause anyone pain because my mind is broken. In the past month I can't shower normally or do anything bathroom related. That part of my home disgusts me for some reason and there is no thing I can do normally in there. Neither pee nor wash my hands nor brush my teeth. What the hell do I do? I am talking to a therapists but nothing. And I've changed quite a few of them.

I totally understand what you're saying. My husband is running out of patience even though he's trying really hard to stay calm. I'm crying, I can't get my laundry done especially undies, showering is a trial because I want my towel to be not touching anything else and my ocd is terrible today. I wonder what to do too. I have a therapist but I'm not making any progress and I've tried others too.

Nameless.

My God that's exactly what I'm going through And the towel thing, like you copy pasted my OCD wow And I've also switched therapists but with limited progress. On a good day I just go with the anxiety and endure it till it passes

I wonder if I would find ERP so terrible because I don't know that the fear and depression would be much worse than what I have now.
