      I wrote on this forum that I suffer from tourette’s and compulsive disorders  i.e. repeated touching of objects, but for some time I had control over it, it seemed to me that maybe I will even get out of it, unfortunately for some time ocd is coming back in new forms, for example looking for a product in an online store it took me a few days because I had to choose the product that I thought was right

      I know what it is it is absurd and pathetic but it makes life so difficult i wish i could heal all people with this disorder. Most often I get up in the morning and make coffee then I come back to my room and I have to turn on the computer twice, sometimes before going to sleep I also have to put the phone and other things on the carpet behind the bed and get up many times to get it right number of times until I think that’s enough, recently I got obsessed with the fact that if I get up immediately or because in 2 minutes I have to get up because otherwise something bad will happen .. even though I could lie on the bed much longer.

      Sometimes I would to volunteer but I am also unemployed and I cannot just open up to the world and people, I feel like I have almost burned outs from this disorder, constant tension and this analyzing I cannot stop, even if I have time, where I do not do it for some time, then it comes back!

      I’m be curious about your opinions about this, how do you deal with it?
