You can trick OCD.

[christinecanada]

I am new to this site so I wanted to say hi...."hi". I have been living with OCD for 12 years now, and one trick I have learned is to trick my own thought. How does this work. My OCD is about diseases Hep,HIV etc. When I go out to a restaurant, and wash my hands, I want to go back and rewash. That's what my brain keeps telling me, what I then think is." what if someone washed their hands and bled all over the sink. Now that situation is worse now. Scares me enough not to go back. Works for me.

You might be right, but it works for me. Anything from me washing my hands in a restaurant 20 times.
