Am I Obssesive Compulsive??

Hi Khay,  This is MussyHair from Australia.  I see you work in a dermatology clinic,  I'm not surprised that you would be wanting to wash your hands after the things you would see in your working day.  Orthopaedic nursing is my area so I've seen many limbs with major tissue loss, after a few visuals of that I got used to it.  However the smell of fresh vomit or just seeing someone vomit always makes me feel like doing the same.  Your reactions are completely normal.  Talking about it in forums such as these and to your colleagues will help.

Thanks for inviting me into your friends list, Yours MussyHair

Hello Khay:
Thanx for inviting me!  I will agree wih MussyHair.  But if you cannot help yourself work through this or if it seems to get worse do not hesitate to talk to a Prof.  I too am OC.  I have learned to work through things on my own.  By recognizing something is OC is half the battle.(at least for me)  When you see you are washing your hands & feet when they really don't need it, STOP!  Talk yourself through it.  Personally I wash my hands frequently, my feet not so much.  But  I think working in a medical office you have to wash your hands often!  The feet, not so sure.  It is late here, I have sleep issues.  God Bless!  Pray for help also!  I'm here for you, momeluv

hey , i did 7 years derm nursing too and i understand where you are coming from!  mussy is right  on the ball , marra x x
