What happened to you practicing exposure?

I gave up I feel beaten with my ocd right now I felt there is no way out and everyday battling away?

I guess you either battle with the OCD thoughts, or battle to get over them. Only you can make that decision.

Try this Phil. You typically end many of your posts and sentences with a "?". End them with a "." instead and make them a statement as opposed to a reassurance seeking question. It's a small thing but the meaning speaks volumes.

You always give up, and very very quickly.

I think this is the case with a lot of our serial posters, and it's why I sometimes get frustrated more quickly than I should.

By definition, getting a handle on anxiety involves experiencing the anxiety and sitting with it while you practice coping strategies.

In the end I did cut the bush but due to ocd I disposed of most of my clothes except under wear I also fear the grains of dirt on my hand still there after showering contains bin germs and they can spread

[phil06]

I have been to the supermarket today and I touched something I fear the dirt has bin germs from the bush. People said do the bush but it only causes more anxiety I scrubbed my hands in the shower and still I can see dirt I mean it could have been dirt from the weeds or grass cutting but could have been the bush I used one whole shower gel and the dirt wouldn’t go so I fear the bin germs are on the dirt despite cleaning with one shower gel?

I fear the dirt will spread the toilet germs I washed my hands in the supermarket toilet I fear those germs are even on the hand soap dispenser and my belt?

You're starting to make very little sense, Phil. Calm down and engage your brain.
