Mine go hand in hand. My OCD is purely hygiene related and the more anxious about emet I am, the more my OCD goes into over drive. I'd love to be able to not wash my hands, just for once but that I can't even bear to think about it!

I also have rituals, I've seen on this forum that rituals seem to be quite common but mine seem to be really bizarre. If I do something in a particular way, it means I'll be okay. In my head I know this isn't true but I still can't stop myself from doing it.

I don't know, I guess I'm just one of a kind, haha!

How does your OCD affect you? Is yours related to hygiene or is it general?
