Thanks MM As a teen I washed my feet 6x a day, It was't fear driven though, I wanted perfect feet and believed pampering them for hours would achieve that goal I slowly but surely weaned myself off of the compulsion though. Now I just have the rumination and intrusive thoughts. The statement about indulging really hit home for me, as it only stops when it stops. 5 days of unrelenting hell this past week has exhausted me. I forgot just how bad it gets and am really grateful its not an everyday hell I have to contend with, and really feel for the people who struggle with any type daily.
