OCD
I have cleanliness OCD that makes me have the compulsion to washing hand repeatedly.. first, I only set cleanliness to my ownself but nowadays I force my surrounding to follow my cleanliness especially when they want to come to my house that it affect my relationship, my working, my life.. I was not like that until 2 years ago.. I wonder how can I become my old self which doesn’t have any fear of any things that Im thinking of dirty.. How can I be free from OCD?
@RamyeonYou stated that this started two years ago. Do you know what triggered you to start this two years ago? Maybe that would help you. The pandemic has to make this such a difficulty for you. I'm so sorry. I have some OCD tendencies, not hand washing but things needing to be in certain places, or if things look out of place, crooked, off center, etc. Have you seen a counselor for this? I know OCD is really difficult to deal with. I wish you gental days.

Hi! I have OCD also. I get anxiety about anyone coming over because I have to clean the entire house completely, even if it is already clean. It is exhausting. And when people are over I cannot enjoy the experience because I keep thinking of what I may have missed. This began for me twenty years ago in my early 30s. I don't know why. Also, if I get upset about something I have to clean to feel better. Any insights would be appreciated.
