Obsessive-compulsive disorder – OCD and always washing your car
Do you feel like you have to want your why all the time?
Do you have a fear that if you don’t wash your car that people will think less of you. Do you do it to the point where it makes you miserable but do it anyway? If you do, you have OCD my friend.
Although there is no need to work. This is why. It’s great to have a clean car. After you’ve cleaned the car, say out loud to yourself, “I’ve cleaned my car and I won’t do it again for a week!”
This may be very difficult for you as I know how it is because I used to wash my car almost every day.
I want to be the first to say that there is no shame in wanting a beautiful car, I know. But when it gets to the point where it disrupts your daily functioning in life or to the point where you do it out of fear because you think something bad might happen, then this is OCD and you need to stop or limit yourself.
The best thing you can do is have someone else do it just once a week and find a passion you can focus on. Remember that anything in excess in nature is bad and washing your car too often will wear down the paint and waste a lot of time.
Take measures: the next time you feel you have to do your car when you know it is clean, ignore the impulse and tell yourself that you do not want to damage the painting or waste your time.
