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.

Wonder if as child someone possibly saying "let me check your hands and see if they are dirty...go wash your hands." Child seeing "clean" hands puzzled thinking "okay...nothing there but I guess I should wash my hands." What were you supposed to do argue with someone "strange" or wash hands?
