Having a hard week in regards to my OCD. I've had about 3 major triggers in the last week. Yesterday's caused me to stay in bed until after 4:30pm with periodic crying fits, and even after I finally got up, I couldn't leave the apartment. I'm hoping this passes (it was caused by using an extremely dirty public restroom). My stuff feels contaminated because i didn't wash my hands long enough due to the fact that it was a press sink (I used the restroom with gloves, so not much contact took place anyway). I could bleach my car, but that would involve using my keys which I touched after the bathroom, and going to the store. It feels like my OCD is getting worse. I have a therapist, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. The reason I used the public restroom on the first place is because if I use the one in my apartment, I won't use my phone for the rest of the day. I live alone, so I have no direct contact with anyone, except online. I can't take this anymore.

I'm sorry you're struggling so much. Does your therapist do ERP? Are you on any medication for anxiety?
