Do most forum users with compulsions that are typical to them ( for example a stereotype example would be cleaning) find they do this consistently every day. Say if someone has to spend aolot of time cleaning the kitchen stuff before cooking before satisfied and it takes a lot of time would that it every day or do other users find there are days when they can do this a bit less or not at all Or for example checking the plugs and locks etc when leaving the house

I have a diagnosis of OCD which I have had for some years and whilst it manifests in a variety of ways I also have depressive anxiety and panic disorder I have a compulsion to repeatedly inspect and clean the utensils prior to cooking and this takes ages as does deciding what to cook . But I also have poor attention to my personal hygeine and appearanxce and need to be encouraged. Isn't this a bit un OCD ish ? Shouldnt I also be obsessed with avoidibng and eradicating all contamination ??? Do other people have similar problems with being very OCD when it comes to the kitchen and yet a mess in other areas in terms of seklf care ? I get it that everyones disability manifests itself in its own way but this seems odd to me.
