Some great points here - thank you, @storiesoferne! I too have fallen into the trap of OCD, and even though it's only on certain things, it can truly be a nighmare.
I've found that since becoming disabled (due to injury) I've had to completely re-evaluate how I do pretty much anything, as in terms of some of the most simple things (i.e. cooking a meal) have become too much for me to do safely on my own. I am learning though, and found one of the hardest things for me to do was to ask for help.
Admitting this cost me a lot - and it took a long time.
Annabelle.
Hello Annabelle @planetauto. I'm pleased to meet you. Many thanks for spending time on my post - appreciate it. Certainly, any person can be a victim of OCD if they allow it to overpower them. I also had my share of struggles with the disorder due to personal ambition and the insane pursuit of meeting impossible expectations. Therapy did the trick to improve my situation.
I'm very sorry to hear about your disability. And as much as we all strive to be heroes in our individual endeavors, we're simply limited due to our human physicalities, unless influenced by divine grace. However, as the saying goes "No man is an island", no one is meant to be alone in this world, thus I'm truly glad you've found assistance in others. God bless that person or those people who have gone out of their way to be there for you, to nurture you, to encourage you, and to ensure that you're doing well healthwise. Loving angels do exist and they're there to make your life worthwhile. Take care. 😊
