Hey everyone. Can't stop showering lately. Never had this problem before. After i shower i still feel like i didn't clean enough. What if i didn't wash all the shower gel off or all the shampoo off my hair and it gets into my blood stream? All that sort of stuff. Today i showered 3 times. I know in the back of my mind its irrational. I'm puzzled by this because my type of OCD is largely Pure Ocd. I'v never really had an issue with washing before. But im using my CBT work and ERP to help me deal with it. Very hard but it's helping. Has anyone any experience of this?

A high percentage of sufferers will have some kind of contamination obsessions in their lives. New obsessions can pop up at any time. It's not unusual.

Set a goal for yourself, such as no more than one shower per day and work toward fulfilling that goal.
