I’ve been working with my therapist and have made quite a bit of progress in overcoming my OCD, but I’m still having trouble with taking a long time to wash my hands and take a shower. I just feel like I have to wash one part of hands a certain amount of times before I feel like I can move to the next part and the same with in the shower. It feels like I’m never going to get finished. It’s excruciating and so frustrating. Really affecting the quality of my life. Can anyone relate or had success in overcoming these type of OCD issues?

I can definitely relate to you. It’s always been a problem for me. Just try reading and learning as much as you can about OCD. That and this forum has helped me get by tremendously.
