Hi everyone, about my OCD

Hi, I'm Mango and wanted to share on how it's like to deal with OCD for me.

It's like my mind constantly calculates the level of dirtyness of something everytime i want to touch anything. And this leads me to having weird behaviors like repeatedly washing my hands , picking things up with my pinky to ensure minimal germs contact and excessive cleaning of things.

I also worry about the food that I eat, cause my mind goes through all the possible ways it could have been contaminated.

Sometimes I have trouble breathing especially at night when I have to keep the windows closed and share the bed with someone. My mind goes all through the ways that the air could have been contaminated. And I worry about the hygiene of the person I'm sharing the room with. I usually almost go insane every night I have to share a room with someone, which is quite often.

And I was just hoping to find others who relate with my struggles.

@Mango33

I'm so sorry you are struggling so much.

It sounds tiring.

Unbearable at times.

I'm glad you could open up here.

It's a safe and non judgemental space.

You've been quite brave 💚
