OCD: General Discussion Thread
in Psychology & Therapy ·
I’m not sure if this qualifies as an obsessive disorder, but maybe someone can weigh in..
I can’t allow food on my plate to touch. Nothing is allowed to make contact. The mashed potatoes can’t touch the steak; the fries can’t touch the ketchup; one cookie can’t touch another. It applies to absolutely everything. If food does touch, I either won't eat it at all, or I have to cut away both sides of the "contaminated" area before I can continue eating..
I’m not trying to be self-important, and I realize we live in a world where there are more hungry people than fed ones, but this isn't something I can control. It feels like a separate compartment in my brain—one that ignores logic and disregards any sense of morality.
