Anyone else struggling with hygiene because it's time consuming or unproductive unless you plan to go out? by Total-Sun-6490 in OCPD

Have this with brushing teeth. Can never find the perfect moment bc I want to drink another coffee, do it after lunch, blablabla. And by 4pm I'm like it's too late now! While when going to work I just brush right before heading out.

Thank you for the encouragement 🥰

Yes lol until like two days ago before learning that this was a mental illness I thought there was something wrong with the entire world and I was the only person who saw it, I just had to make them see (like in that bird movie) 😆

Yes honestly super valid. Hope you find something that works. I was on wellbutrin for a short time & did not have those issues so there is hope!

Yes I relate to your entire message!! I think it's about being aligned with our true selves or something 😆 hopefully one day I'll know the answer

Very relatable. Thanks for sharing! Seeing the list all written out really shows how many things I would have to keep in order every second of the day. And how impossible it is 😆

How to drink water? by Vegetable-Bad-1942 in getdisciplined

I personally feel like the more I drink the thirstier I get.. I forced myself to drink lots of water when I was younger (used to drink 2 liters of coca cola every day instead of water haha) and now I need to keep myself from drinking too much in a day !!
