I avoid certain places I don't feel are clean, I clean things over and over that feel contaminated, I actually don't wash my hands too much, but when I do I wash them longer than I would need to, I get stuck in thoughts, I tend to blank out a lot and I check things a lot

skin picking, hand washing, erasing and rewriting, do almost everything in 3s, seeking reassurance from friends/family, I take like 15 minutes to put on deodorant bc I put it on then wipe the edges then put more etc etc

Knee Jerk compulsing
I noticed I’m starting to fall into a trap of a bunch of little compulsions- some of which are these little knee jerk behaviors that my brain is catching as I do them. For example, a short stand up at my desk (like sitting up and moving slightly to see above my cubicle) to check my surroundings. I’m struggling to catch it before hand- anyone got any ideas to help combat that? I really want to get past sitting with this and stop that little compulsion but because it’s become a habit, I’m just not noticing it until I’ve already done it. #Help

Mental compulsions
My boyfriend is staying the weekend at his parents house for his moms birthday and my ocd was quiet for most of the day and then I had the thought of my off has been quiet so I must not actually love my boyfriend which then just kept spiraling. I did resist compulsions to the best of my ability. I think there’s some mental ones I do as well but idk what they are. Anyway how do you guys resist mental compulsions what could some mental compulsions be?
