      Hi everyone; does anyone else have this ocd thing where you think “I always want to have perfectly clean hands.”  I’m thinking about it now, and feel I’ll never get over it. But this is just so stressful for me. I wash my hands ALL the time, it’s just like there’s no way to avoid it. This has been my life for years and years. I feel anxious all the time, and now I’ve got it to the stage where seems can’t do anything without washing my hands. Anyone have any advice, please??

        Hi:

        Forum moderators here; we’re sorry you haven’t had many replies yet. Please don’t take this personally or ever think you’re alone. It may just be that forum users are taking a bit of  time to consider how to reply and support you.

        And please remember that you can also contact the OCD Action Helpline to talk to or email someone who understands OCD.

        Our Helpline volunteers provide confidential and unbiased help, information and support for people with OCD (and anyone who thinks they may have OCD). Most volunteers have personal experience of OCD; all understand OCD and how it can impact your entire life.

        You can also find out about support groups on our website. These offer a safe place where you can talk openly about OCD and support other people too. Our information about UK-based groups can be found here:

        If you don’t live in the UK, you can look for groups near you on the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) website. Look in the section “Find Help” and then under “Listing Types”, choose “Support Groups”: https://iocdf.org/
