Starting to date with OCD.
Handy replied to Agrippina's topic in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
But the other person might have stuff to mention too. I found someone on a forum once & after 2 months she said “ I never said I was sane.” Still I married her. -
Program yourself to do it before your daily shower. Clean yourself in shower. Easy, quick & clean. You know something that is already inside you can’t do much to you if it gets on outside of you & then inside again.

If you find someone in an OCD forum it’s easier. I’d bring it up when it’s necessary to do so. -
If people on the forum took the advice they gave other forum members they would not need medication. Besides, medication meant to be for a short time, a few months, not decades. Yes, I take forum advice & no, I don’t take medication.

Thinking about thinking is Metacognition. Remember you choose what you want to think about, you don’t have to think about this stuff if you don’t want to.

OCD is very often comorbid. You’d need counseling to sort it out. -
How to stop ruminating on a relationship
Handy replied to humbleno1's topic in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
It’s important to do personal growth. There are great free relationships counselors on YouTube. Try Craig Kenneth or Dating Guy, they are on your side. -
I’m thinking 8 to 12 weeks according to those that report back.

You can search the forum for it.
