Does Anyone Have This Obsession?


GirlInterrupted

Recommended Posts

I have been diagnosed with OCD for 16 yrs plus, but had it since i was a kid. But i have always wondered if anyone else does this. I feel a little grossed out by admitting i do this but i have to ask because i am so curious to know if others may do it.

When i use the toilet and have a bowel movement i not only clean the outside of my anus but i actually clean inside aswell :( i have to wet the toilet paper and clean inside with it. I am on the toilet cleaning from 20 minutes to 1 hour. I can not get off the toilet until there is nothing left on the paper after cleaning inside. I also suffer with IBS caused through anxiety. I'm dosed up on Loperamide because i'm in fear of going to the toilet more than one or two times a day. So i have to take the loperamide to make myself constipated but i take so many now that they don't fully constipate me, i still go 1 or 2 times a day. It's a nightmare, i just wondered if other people had the problem with cleaning inside after a bowel movement, thank you.

There will always be other people who do any and every odd behaviour we think is "just us" but this I've not done, although I did used to use talc there after every toilet visit, and I also used to clean and spray my feet before putting on shoes.

I have heard of other people doing this and have hurt themselves because of it due to cutting their insides. You aren't alone in this either.

(((hugs)))

It's OCD as well to do this. I myself have to wash my hands frequently until they're raw. And don't think you're weird for cleaning yourself. I have IBS too and I feel for you as I can't even go out and have fun because I got to go even if I went before I left.

I clean a little way inside but don't spend more than a few seconds. You could gradually pull out by always telling yourself it is natural that there is shit inside your bowel, a certain way in. Nature has ways of not letting it get germy.

You need dietary advice, keep up the green leafy veg and protien with every meal or snack - cheese & nuts.
