Hi new here.first post.
I have struggled with OCD for over 30 years, at times it has been manageable other times totally debilitating.
My main problem is food. I have an overwhelming fear food is somehow drugged or contaminated. It has led to anorexia and terrible anxiety as it affects everything. Shopping is terrifying due to number rituals and finding safe products, eating and preparing food is often impossible. I can not imagine ever being able to eat or drink out again. As a bonus I also struggle with compulsive hand washing, washing and re washing clothes to make them safe, washing and shower rituals etc I am exhausted mentally and looking for any advice to break this vicious cycle
