Phlegm!

[O Neg]

This is an interesting one. My wife and I had just finished dinner when I started to cough and realised that I had an amount of phlegm to get rid of. So upstairs I go to the bathroom where I deposit said phlegm in the sink. I turn on the tap and down the plug hole, rather reluctantly it goes. I then return downstairs. My wife asks if I am alright and then proceed to tell her what happened. About 10 minutes later while watching the TV, I am wondering if I did actually spit into the sink or perhaps else where. I know what I did because I remember doing it 100%, and my wife remembered exactly what I said when I returned from the bathroom. This OCD is a sneaky *******. It almost qualifies as a life form!

Seems to have a personality, and a sick sense of humour, doesn’t it.

I suspect it’s not healthy to do it but I often imagine it’s a malign imp sitting on my shoulder tormenting me. 

Somedays my preferred metaphor is a parasite feeding off my anxiety.

what ever it is I wish it would ****** off.

Looks like you are getting, multiple variations on your main theme, at the moment. What with this and the sick note.

Keep on batting them away to stop any “sticking”

Cheers Mate, I believe I will beat it. Lets hope we all can.

And that's the thing. The fact that OCD is often ubiquitous can be your ally, because it lets you see its banal game plan.
