I have OCD. I had exposure therapy and it really helped but with this pandemic it's starting to act up again. My therapist wants me to go to the park to get out of the house and I would like to go sit on a bench there but I just don't feel comfortable. If I wash my hands after I get back from the park I'm afraid I won't be able to stop. I used to wash my hands until they were raw and I don't want to have that restart. For reference I live with my parents who do the grocery shopping so I haven't left the house at all since this whole thing started. I don't want to be isolated forever but I just don't feel safe out there. Is anyone else struggling with this? Any words of advice?
