Horrible OCD
A few years ago I became mentally scarred from catching my gay brother with his boyfriend naked. He never washed his hands regularly so i became extremely paranoid.Ever since that i was my hands constantly everyday and I can't touch anything without feeling the need to wash my hands. I've only told my 4 closest bestfriends and my boyfriend too and some have said they've kind of noticed but I hate having this handwashing obsession.also I have other forms of OCD that have developed over the years. I still blame my brother
Please engage in therapy with mental health professional- psychologist and/or psychiatrist...u may need to take SSRIs in the start especially to boost progress, but this condition is tougher than treating depression as u need much more serotonin in your brain to overcome the lock in your brain circuitry and your overactive "error-detection circuit" in your brain which constantly give u the illusion that something is wrong that u must fix with annoying, time consuming and useless physical compulsions and rituals that won't accomplish anything. U need long term exposure-response prevention therapy (ie. Keep ur hands dirty on purpose and deliberately don't wash them and bear the anxiety and discomfort for a few mins- then extend that to 15 mins, half hour etc.). Also please read "Brain Lock" by Dr. Schwartz and his 4 step method to overcome it, which is based on eastern mindfulness meditation philosophies.
If you are that fragile, you stand no chance in life. Hope you've stepped off a bridge by now, for your own sake
U ppl are a**hles- the poor guy has a mental disorder, he's a patient and ur encouraging him to harm himself???? Disgusting....
Ugh, another millennial/Gen Z drama llama
U r not even worthy to call yourself human- u r just a shell of a human being with absolutely no compassion- ur just a walking and nonlinear zombie... you are toying with and dismissing a person with OCD- this is a clinical mental disorder and this person is a patient who is suffering from this condition- just like patients with physical diseases! U don't even have a sense of compassion, if the same was to happen to you, only then you would know what it's like....
