Anxiety #642 - OCD Hand Washing

Compulsive, repetitive hand washing is one of the most common OCD behaviors but it was actually the last one that I developed. Once I started washing my hands repeatedly and worry about germ contamination all of the time, I knew something was wrong. I was able to get over it by doing Exposure & Response Prevention therapy.

And yes, I did say "my hand's friend" in the video. I was anxious about uploading a video with an error in it but I did it anyway--SLAM! Double anxiety exposure video.
