Can't wait to read your laundry one, as that is one i'm still having a problem with. <br /><br /> I let dh do the dishes for a long time before i got brave enuf to touch them again and just wash hands afterwards ( from putting them in the dishwasher). I'm soo glad i didn't have germ stuff ocd while we didn't have a dishwasher! But i do remember sometimes washing things like raw meat cooking bowls etc. 2ce before thinking them clean. I didn't connect that to any ocd at the time, just my cleanliness desires. <br /><br /> i washed dishes putting water in the sink and rincing with the tap on the other sink. So i just assumed my hands were clean from being in the dish water.<br /><br /> Actually before i got completely scared off doing dishes i had a routine of doing dishes in the evening, putting a load of laundry in the washer and then having a shower to be clean. <br /><br /> Ug, the rituals for daily living are hard to give up! On the other hand these rituals to do regular chores helped me to be able to have enuf energy to focus on the other ocd challenges . I am working on putting garbage in the garbage can without having to wash my hands afterwards. before i just left all the wrappers etc. in the kitchen for dh to clean up.:)<br /><br />-karinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772933038599972944.post-61346377855751231452011-07-07T20:14:20.198-07:002011-07-07T20:14:20.198-07:00I look forward to reading about your other exposur...I look forward to reading about your other exposures.

I have a new roommate who is super considerate and really nice, and that definitely brings my mood up, too. I'm also getting used to my new job and might have another one soon. So just in general, things are kind of (maybe) becoming a bit steadier overall. And goodness, being able to cook really is nice! <br /><br />Looking forward to the conference and I hope to see you there!Fellow OCD Suffererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16157849944445411960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772933038599972944.post-42518834413526178272011-07-05T10:42:05.199-07:002011-07-05T10:42:05.199-07:00That's fantastic!!!
