really fix anything that they’re doing. the kitchen is filthy, despite the fact I have deep cleaned it 2x in the last 30 days AND that we have a rotating weekly cleaning schedule for everyone. the dishes always have to be washed again before I can use them. frankly the only place that doesn’t feel contaminated is my bedroom and it gets stuffy but I feel like there’s nowhere else for me to go. anyone have any advice for what i can do for myself? I can’t change their habits or how they (2/ ?)

I really wish there was a way for you to seriously intervene with your roommates- this isn’t something that u can just control, and they should do their part as well!

Are you in therapy rn? This sounds like a really good discussion to have with someone with a lot of training

You poor thing :( I totally know how awful being exposed against your will is (I also have OCD), and the whole situation sounds terrible. Do you have the app NOCD? There is some really good de-escalation exercises on there, and you have the ability to vent to other people with OCD. It’s really quite nice. They also offer online therapy and take most insurances, although I don’t know your insurance situation. Also, you can totally dm me any time you want if you need advice on recovery :)
