Aww, I'm sorry you're going through that. Have you looked up or tried any coping mechanisms to curb the OCD a bit? I'm not a therapist or anything but, maybe you could enlist your boyfriend to help you? Like as you're coming out of the bathroom maybe you could have him walk you away from the door and distract you to get your mind to new thoughts, rather than fixating on closing the door 12 times. Maybe your slight embarrassment could be used as a way to get you to break that cycle. Again though, I have no idea if that's how it works.
I can totally imagine being late all the time if you're dealing with that.
Aww that was so kind, thank you. I suppose I could see if he can help with it. I just always assume he can't change it or help me at all but maybe he can because we are very close. I will try that but we don't live together so he can't help me most of the time :/
Compulsively late because of OCD?
