Respected doctor, I have run into a serious problem I have OCD symptoms. I always wash hands, always have the contamination feeling in my mind .Alll this started about a few months ago, earlier I was diagnosed with an infection during the treatment of the infection I used to wash hand somewhat frequently more than normal slowly this got into my habit and now I have developed the symptoms of OCD, if each and every time I touch anything I have the contamination feeling in my mind. This has ruined my life .I do remember at some point in my life when I was a normal guy used to work for about 18 hours a day. At at present time I have more experience than before and I should work with more efficiency than before but this OCD has ruined my life please help me out.

It happens. It's just that you r scared because of your past experience. What is your age? U can do this-- Write down your obsessive thoughts or worries. Keep a pad and pencil on you, or type on a laptop, smartphone, or tablet. When you begin to obsess, write down all your thoughts or compulsions. Keep writing as the OCD urges continue, aiming to record exactly what you?re thinking, even if you?re repeating the same phrases or the same urges over and over. Writing it all down will help you see just how repetitive your obsessions are. Writing down the same phrase or urge hundreds of times will help it lose its power. Writing thoughts down is much harder work than simply thinking them, so your obsessive thoughts are likely to disappear sooner.
