I suspect i'm about to go face my second episode of major OCD hand washing during this one period of being awake, and i really don't want to - the last time took 3 hours, I'm just not ready to spend three hours in front of the sink again. *blub

:( is your skin okay? that would dry out your skin...

aside from allergens... my incessant need to sanitize and wash my hands may have worsen my eczema... that was gone since i don't want the painful skin... but my eczema is for a lifetime... i hope you can divert your attention and not do it

Shit, that sucks. I saw my wife deal with similar stuff. It was pretty hard to watch but far harder to actually live with, I’m sure.

So, saying there was twenty minutes between me posting that and beginning my ritual, it took 3 hours and 40 minutes if i'm not wrong...

I dunno, my compulsions are pretty ingrained and my obsessive thoughts are extremely intrusive, it's very hard to combat my OCD. It does dry out my skin pretty badly, and my hands have some major callouses from all the friction. It's not great

i'm sorry you had to go through that cynic. I hope that doesn't happen often. are you on meds for the ocd
No, truth be told i'm scared to mess with psych meds after what happened the last time. It's not normally quite that bad though, it's gotten a lot worse lately, i'm hoping that one way or another, once i have my diagnosis it should improve somewhat, because it's kind of unbearable rn.

Lately, that usually happens once or twice a day though.

I know you are scared of phsyc meds but if things don't improve they may be the best solution. if you decide to try meds again tell your doctor your concerns and insist on him starting slowly so any bad effects will be minor. I hope things get better for you, I do care. mike

Omg goat are you ok? I worry about you with all the stuff going on. I don't know much about OCD to that extreme, I wash my hands a lot but it's not to that extent. So I may not have great advice there but I'm here for you.
