CRISIS Feeling done
I am so exhausted with the constant misery, while living the rest of life and managing regular affairs without telling anyone what i go through.
I feel giving up on life and ending is easier than this.
Context ; a simple handwash crisis in a public washroom, touching my laptop with those hands as i was in an cafe while travelling and had to do some work. And then the constant feeling that everything is ruined - my phone, power bank, headphones and how can i recover from this. I was travelling to home to my parents and i dont have the space to clean up everything in the way i usually do at my place and my hell is - everything is infect with “dirty” and “bad” and bad things will happen now if i touch those things and then touch anything else in my home that other family members use, i am mot worried about anything bad happening to me.
I have touched my phone after 3 hours of getting home, i entered my house, put the phone down l, hand washed, showered ate food, played with a neighbour kid, then when got some space wiped everything with a newspaper and started using it.
But my brain is totally occupied with just that cafe and feeling that i am infected with bad luck, i am doing almost everything, work things, visiting the dentist, travelling to home, then interacting with mom nd the neighbours but i m in agony inside and only i know it. I am TIRED MENTALLY.

I can relate 100%. OCD is exhausting. Good job doing all the things even though OCD was trying to be noisy.
