In time you will get control, especially as the onset of your OCD is so recent. You can do it and you will do it, wont you?

I've left it just a bit till the last minute... <img src="http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_rolleyes.gif" title=":roll:" class="bb_smilies" /> And even with my improvements, it still feels as though OCD has a hand in everything I do. Even just picking something up I think about how contamimated it is and whether I will need to wash my hands afterwards. If I do then I try to think of other things I can after or before it so that I can avoid washing my hands too many times. It's like things are on a scale in my head somehow of how dirty they are and I end up ordering every activity I do to fit around it. truddles on "My Non-OCD self would like to............" http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/my-non-ocd-self-would-like-to#post-37563 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 15:06:12 +0000 truddles 37563@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ You will - give it time, it's just a minor upset.
