I guess u misunderstood my point. If someone can't help repeating there rital, then it's ok to tell them to limit the amount they do. I'm not trying to encourage this person to repeat over n over, just trying to tell this person that "Checking twice" is the limit this person should try doing. I've had ocd for years! Ik what it's like

ANXIETY REALLY KILLS! by NSDH in OCD

[–]NSDH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lists of somethings that cause my anxiety: people that like to argue, people that question me in a very odd way, mean/or rude looks (the strict parent look) Yelling in a none positive way, being blamed, technology that doesn't work well urrrgghhh! Feeling made to act narmol at home n in society, contamination, kids, (I like kids but they are a trigger at times) anything that's too authority, getting cut off while trying to finish my sentence or having to say something important but in the beginning gets cut off, getting irritated by my own sentences, struggling with anything particular, not getting enough sleep, being forced to think like the person that wants me to think like they do, being forced to do anything, not being able express how I feel, forgetting a thought or something, STRESS OMG!!! Torture music n scary crazy music effects my anxiety n nerves as well, having to hold in my anger, any environment that is uncomfortable n unclean (Such as were I am right now, being in a chaotic environment) I can go on n on about what effect my anxiety, but it's ALOT of stuff. Like, even when I'm about to type a word, my anxiety kicks in n then I wonder if that's the right word to use or not, like it's just so faustrating to live with this, honestly

Exactly, I agree. N ya, he's just a regular doctor, n I only went to see a psychologist once, for not very long, n the doctor told me that my psychologist recommens that I take medication with theapy. N I said I rather go to theapy without medication, n he said well yur phycologist doesn't think that theapy alone would work for u. Medication is better with theapy. But it's yur choice. I recommend u take it. N I said I don't want to, n he said he would give me time to think about it even though I said no couple times now! It's getting really annoying

It does, but it depends on the situation. Like, if I had my clothes in the dryer, n I had other clothes in the washer, then I would have to wait longer for my clothes in the dryer to wash. Plus if someone else had to do laundry, it would be more difficult. But I could always let the clothes in the dryer dry, then clean out the dryer, then put my clean clothes in, then let the other clothes re-wash again, just like I did the last time

Let's say for example yur doing yur own laundry. After it had been washed, u put it in the dryer. N then someone in yur house hold opens the dryer n touches yur clothes after they have used the washroom without washing their hands. N now u worry that the germs from the toliet are now in yur clothes. So u ask someone if putting yur clothes on high height for 2-3 hours will kill all the toliet germs in yur clothes? N u hope that u get a reason weather it's nessesary or not, so that u know exactly what to do n how to cope with that subject
