anyone here with other legitimate mental disorders like ocd? just wiped the sleeve of my shirt with a clorox wipe because the family cat brushed her head against it like 30 min ago and I don't want cat fur or germs in my room which I keep pristinely maintained.
>>41163391Yeah I also have OCD. Shits fucked Autism and MDD too but that less fucked
>>41163391>"anyone here with other legitimate mental disorders like ocd?"YesMany people aktually
>>41163391i have it so bad that i developed paranoid psychosis that lasted for two years. cant touch food with bare hands without serious scrubbing, for fear of it contaminating other things i touch. sometimes strangers brush past me and it feels like red hot burning even if im in clothing, i have to duck out and scrub at my shirt or whatever with alcohol wipes in my purse until ive "cleared" it. i constantly need to disinfect things like laptops, phones, accessories etc that ive gone outside with. when i was a kid any physical touch at all felt like burning, i had to grit and bare it whenever parents/family hugged me or else they'd threaten to send me to the mental hospital. ive worked on it and am a lot better now, able to lead a semi-normal life and have some physical interaction/contaminant handling. but im still constantly on guard. its a lethal state of affairs. i wouldnt wish it on anyone.
>>41163391i could neve enjoy the candy on the right because i know it has been touched a thousand times to do the sorting, leaving sweat and dirt all over the gummies
>>41163391Maybe? I’m not sure though whether it’s just my like personality or if it’s an actual disorder. When I was younger I used to pull my hair out repeatedly and only after my parents shaved my head did I stop and now what I’ll do is if I’m not like focused or distracted and I’m not chewing something what I do is pick the skin off my lip practically unconsciously and compulsively even though it really hurts sometimes and I bleed when I do it. I also don’t eat leftovers because it’s impossible for them to be as tasty/pure/good as when the food was cooked and made. But like I said idk what is because of my autism and what might be because of something else
>>41163391I have severe bulimia and also got diagnosed with anorexia because of my weight (right now, weight is alright, though). I've been at a mental hospital for it and they also had a ward for people with ocd, it seemed pretty debilitating to suffer from it. I hope you can get better somehow and at least try to get support if you can.
