anyone else obsessively apply lotion? i’ve have to put on lotion like 40 times a day (i counted one time) and it’s been going on for like a year. i’m so tired of this

I put on a lot of lotion, I’m worse when it comes to my feet, I constantly think their dry, try to fight the urge as best as you can. Good luck!

Omg yes. This is the very first symptom of my OCD that I really noticed. I’ve been obsessively applying lotion to my face for probably about 10 years now. Best things I’ve done include drinking more water so I don’t feel dry, only moisturizing certain times of day (after shower, before bed, etc)

i’m glad someone else can relate!! i have it with my hands. drinking more water is something i definitely need to do although my hands aren’t actually dry they’re really slimey tbh so i’m pretty sure it’s just all in my head. thanks for the reply! :)

Lol I don't do lotion, but I've been obsessively applying chapstick for almost 10+ years. With help from Leah, a NOCD therapist, I'm finally cutting back a LOT, but I can tell how much doing this has really hurt the integrity of my lips. I'd definitely recommend getting help before it gets any worse. :)
