Can anybody recommend a wash basket?

[phil06]

My day wasn’t done yet my partner went to the bins I seen her wash her hands but the front door was locked so I worried when this was done and worry the handle is contaminated again this is how bad my ocd is right now

[phil06]

I am constantly getting false mental images of new items I’m ordering online coming near the bins before I get them. Or I worry someone has touched the bins then door handles and so on how can I think more clearly?

Well the key is in your post. They are false images. False thoughts. Learn to ignore them and treat them as the rubbish they are.

My goodness, I got professional help for my anxiety related OCD.
I honestly just don’t get it 119 pages of ......

Hiyer Quinn,

119 pages yep, its a lot, but this will blow your mind - 13 years like this now, on here and other forums with the same threads and patterns repeating over and over.

Hi Carys

Wow,13 yrs living like that!and on other forums, I find that disturbing too go so long and not genuinely seeking help,or is he playing a game.

I think Phil really struggles, Quinn; he hasn't realised that working on and recovering from OCD is a process, and that there's no magic wand that can be waved to cure everything.

[Quinn1]

I just find after 13 yrs or more on forums seeking questions and answers to such complex issues a healthy way to go about it. I know there is no magic wand BlueIris, I struggled too,but with a lot of hard work and not giving in(which was hard) I can finally see the sun.
My husband left me over my hideous habits,I hope Phil’s wife does not do the same.

[BlueIris]

I'm so very sorry, Quinn. I didn't lose my husband, but I did a lot of things I bitterly regret because of the extent of my fears - they lost me a lot of friends over the years, and I'll never stop feeling guilty about how I mistreated my husband.

I honestly think Phil's wife must be some sort of a saint (sorry, Phil!)

[Quinn1]

One thing I don’t have BI is regrets, I cannot change the past. I don’t have many friends, I have acquaintances.

I think she must be a saint too
