Soap/showering OCD?

[phil06]

Does anybody have OCD with showering and using too much soap?

[AuntieMoosie]

Yep! I do

I'm a little bit OCD with anything that cleans, be that soap, shampoo, shower gel, hand wash, washing up liquid, laundry powder, gel or whatever!! lol

I just have to be able to see loads of bubbles, otherwise I feel like it's not clean.

I call it my "bubble fix" lol

Only this afternoon, I had to re wash one of the drains outside, I'd only done it the day before yesterday, but today I felt it needed doing again, so more bubbles were the order for the day, my neighbour/friend, had a little laugh and he said "oh! you're getting OCD about that drain now"!!!

With me though, it all has to do with the bubbles and smell, it has to have both....lol

This has been left over from way back in 1984 when I suffered severe post natal depression and went on a mass cleaning frenzy.

It doesn't drive me mad though, I actually enjoy it, otherwise I would have sought help.

So you're not alone
