hi,
i need help, i really am at the end of my tether. i have v. bad life dehabilating ocd. it has got so bad the last 6 months.
i feel ocd has robbed me of everything but i literally find beginning exposure response prevention so hard, because once i contaminate the house & others (which is already pretty contaminated already) i cant go back
i went to have a bath which i havent in a week & something that gives me the biggest anxiety is in the bathroom ( a soap in the dispenser by the bath that is contaminated - it is one of my biggest fears) so how can i begin to expose myself when it is one of the worst.
i know feeling anxious & being covered in disgusting stuff is better than this life i am barely leading, but it is just the worst idea ever to try & face it - the anxiety & feeling is just so unbareable
im so off with my brain today, - i just wanted to have a bath & a walk and im so tired
any helpful words or tips would be nice, but i know i need to just face my fears instead of letting them rule my what is left of no life
i also tried to ring ocd uk on skype but cant on subscription. it is a 0845 number so just feels like a proper shit day.
thankyou for listening to my rant
