Hello. I am not diagnosed with OCD, but I am working a diagnosis. Anyways, lately, I have been having brief times (like a month or two) where I feel like there is dirt/dust on my hands, and I need to wash them or put hand sanitizer on. These type of episodes never happened before. My main OCD symptom is checking and rechecking with number issues. But anyways, with the hand washing thing, it wasn't like it was two times a day, it would be almost every hour. I would have to interrupt what I was doing and do my compulsion. I wanted to wash with a disinfectant cloth, but I luckily didn't. I would have dug myself into a deeper hole. Has anyone else had brief obsessions/compulsions aside from the symptoms that made you get diagnosed with OCD? I would like to think that this isn't abnormal or crazy. Thanks.
