Hello all, I'm in my 30s married and a father. I have had OCD for as long as I can remember. My OCD is 100% on worry about protecting those I love and completing compulsions to stop this. I have to complete things a certain number of times. But it's now affecting every single aspect of my life. I cant use certain words or sleep a certain way, if I see trigger words I have to wash my hands until I get to a certain point. I cant talk to my family and friends. I can't move in and out of rooms without doing it a certain number of times. My mind is overcome with thoughts of harm coming to my child if I dont do these things. I dont want my child to see me like this but I'm so afraid. I just want to write it down.
