  1. You've done exactly what we have paul, you think you're doing the right thing but I've read so many articles that state otherwise, I've removed the spray today and I'm now in my daughters bad books, her room isn't filthy but she's not bothered about mess around her bed it's just the bed itself that has to be cleaned, also had the same issue as you with the hand gel! I'm just thinking if I remove those things that she uses for the compulsions then she can't do them and will then have to face up to the anxiety...not sure if this is the right action to take. yes my daughter sees certain people as being contaminated and she won't hug us anymore..it's difficult but I'm trying to be supportive.
  2. Hi I'm new to this forum, my daughter is 15 and has recently spoke out about OCD and anxiety..it's been an emotional eye opener to say the least, every night she has a ritual of spraying her bed with a soapy mixture she'd secretly made to the point of it being soaked and also her floor is soaked ( accident waiting to happen ) I was shocked when I asked her to show me what she does and I said she can't be spraying soap all over her bed so I made her some very watered down antiseptic spray but now she's not just spraying it at night she's spray it on everything even her clothes when I've just gotten them out of the tumble dryer, I don't want her having the anxiety of worrying about her bed being dirty ( it's clean as a whistle) but I don't think I did the right thing giving her the spray. What should I do remove the spray bottle from her room? Also she's using antibacterial gel and washing her hands a lot, do we need to stop buying these things and what to we say to her when she asks us to get them for her? I really don't want to upset her as she's my world but I also do not want to reinforce her compulsions. please help! Thank you Sarah
