Perfectionism/ocd of some sort

Short version: Wouldnt hurt to have someone patient and that isnt rude or too serious help me control this and get things done already (over chat), im becoming quite seriousmyslf but dont want someone that makes me feel more stressed and rushed than how i am.

I am 25 but dont care about having a teen or adult listener, just someone that deals w this or is helpful is fine to me, but if its a psychologist it would be perfect.

Long version: Lately my darn perfectionism or ocpd or ocd or whatever i have is getting out of control and im trying to deal with it on my own but always end up redoing the chore im trying to do and this is starting to extend to other chores and activities that i could do without problems before and im just wasting energy and time and productivity and even leissure moments trying to do these things/chores the "right" way and until i feel satisfied with my work and if i keep with this who knows when im gonna end doing this and stop being stuck here so i rather force myself to ask for help and get all this over with already. I have people i used to talk to online whom i could ask for help instead of here but cant contact them cause i dont have my passwords w me so i tried here. So yeah, wouldnt hurt to ask for help from some listener like how i described that could help.

Ps im using the android app so if i dont reply it means i had some sort of problems to view my notifications or my forum posts. Its a bit harder to use than the pc version of the site.

@Justmichael

I don't know if I would be the listener you're looking for, especially since I have never dealt with OCD myself, but I have certain tendencies from time to time where I feel the need to be perfect. It's definitely not the same, but perhaps I can be there for you to hear you out and work through your feelings a bit. I hope things get better for you. Remember, you're great the way you are. <3

@EleNergy Hey, thanks for replying and sorry for taking some time to reply, i was trying to get some productive stuff done and well i actually did but my mind is kinda nagging me cause of this whole perfectionism thing but i still finished and im trying to ignore the nags cause these chores arent that mentally taxing but i still have my main issue (the chore that really triggers me) waiting to be completed. Anyway i messagged you over chat, its easier to talk there.

Btw i dont know if i have ocd cause i havent seen a psychologist for this and before it wasnt this bad, i mean this problem :/

@EleNergy Hey btw can you let me know when you reply my chat message over here as well please? This app on smartphone is harder to use than the website version, i cant even see who i am following on here from the app to send them more messages and i seemingly cant do it from here (wanted to send you more stuff i forgot to say on the 1st message).

@EleNergy Hi, sorry for making you send 2 messages but since ive never used this app i thought it wouldnt notify me of new chats, anyway it did notify me, i think it would be better to chat there, thanks for your time btw.
