Another problem for me with OCD is its contribution to me not wanting to go anywhere. Leaving my room means there are more triggers and more things I may have to do or repeat or chances I'll discover a new ritual that I have to do. It seems like such a waste of time to face any of these triggers and have to deal with all this but I can't let myself give in to staying in my room because it isn't practical and it just lets fear take over my entire life.
OCD is so complicating
