Worse parts of having ocd.

I hate having ocd. At times it gets so bad.
I spent almost 2 hours cleaning my restroom last night. I knew it was clean but i just couldn't stop. I just keep cleaning and scrubbing obviously. My therapist says he'd rather focus on my tourettes and ptsd first before he focuses on it. Says it's not as important.

In any job, I think people tend to focus on things other than the main problem.

Couple reasons - it's like people try to prolong the BS for job security. In your therapy case, yeah he is just trying to get more money out of you.

Also maybe people are lazy and want to work on the irrelevant problems just to feel like they accomplished something without having to deal with the real issues.
We probably have all seen this at our own jobs - some big important project needs worked on yet people are focused on some dumb crap like how the coffee station is set up.

Maybe dealing with OCD is harder than tourettes and ptsd?

@CestManan with my tourettes i have loud outburst and yell. Maybe he feels because of this it's more important to focus on
