Ocd: Functional Impairment.
Hi.
I have had ocd since 2006.Its called Functional Impairment.Its a horrible version where it stops you doing anything to take care of yourself and your hygiene.For example,it stops you doing your everyday grooming routines(note:not rituals)like
brushing your teeth,
showering,
washing your self,
washing your hair,
shaving,
trimming your fingernails & toenails
trimming your facial hair (around your ears and nostrils)
brushing your hair
putting on clean clothes everyday
washing clothes
putting on new clothes
Then there's the looking after yourself where you cant eat when your own,cant drink when you're on your own and you cant prepare food when you're on your own.Couldnt move things around.Couldnt throw out recyclables and rubbish.Couldnt clean out the fridge and freezer.
It stops you doing everyday things so you end up looking like a cave dweller.The pain from long nails breaking off is a real disaster.
I had the usual rituals.The things that ocd makes you do like straightening things up.
Over this last year I've been making progress.Big progress.Its been an ongoing progress.
I need to find others who have similar problems.I'm recovering from this ocd version.It had to go.Money well spent.If you can relate to any of these problems please reply.
Chris.
