It's been a busy week, mostly responding to the audit at work, mentioned below. Turns out I didn't actually make any mistakes on the audited project, but the whole process is still making me extremely nervous, and I think it's stirring up a general pot of anxiety.
I'm still doing fairly well on exposures, including almost no hand washing at work, despite having a lot more contact with people and their paperwork than normal. So that's good.
The ants that moved in a few weeks ago are lingering and have decided that my kitchen and my cat food are both fabulous. But I'm continuing to deal with them without OCD problems.

We have ants too. But I think using chemicals to get rid of them would be a bigger deal with OCD for me than the actual ant infestation. lol!
ReplyDeleteGood job still working at exposures. You inspire me. :)
I'm impressed at how well you deal with the ants! I had an invasion one time and my bf had to deal with the whole thing. As with Shana, I'd have a heck of a time with insecticide, too. No way to win. Maybe put all the cat food in those big tupperware-style containers. And audits, bleh. Just the thought of trying to be penny-perfect tweaks all my overchecking instincts. Sounds like you are doing a great job dealing, wow. Adventures in Anxiety Land
