Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)Apparently according to the BBC website 15 October is Global Handwashing Day http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-15284501
Finally something that my OCD will allow me to participate in 
as I'm great at handwashing. Only problem that I have is knowing when to stop 
Hi Truddles, yes, knowing when to stop... I struggle with that one... Not just washing my hands, but trying to wash everything my hands and clothing come into contact with... The intrusive thoughts, powerful imagination, and my natural sensitiveness all combine to make me despair...
It isn't easy is it...

Why oh why do we do all this handwashing. I personally wash my hands and then have to dry them in a certain way especially checking between fingers is also dry especially before walking past anything electrical or even worse for me i have to check about four times my hands are totally dry before turning on electric sockets etc. Evan then after turning on the socket i am still in confusion as to if my hands were totally dry because as everyone knows ocd loves the phrase "what if".
