I try to talk about it. I have had problems with taking to bank customers about an intrusive thought. I also call hotlines compulsively. Sometimes I avoid things and/or change residences. I also wash everything I own or anything that could have been contaminated. Once I threw away all of my bedding. I usually hoard papers and miscellaneous items. I used to pray, but that really was unhelpful.
