I am new to ocd support group- My OCD Story

Hello, I am new to this OCD Support Group. I am feeling nervous about my first post, yet I know there are others with OCD that have probably felt this way as well. I'll start by saying that I have both OCD and Disorganized Schizophrenia. I have had these illnesses for about 2 and a half years. It seems like a very long time. It is difficult for me, but I would like tell you my story with OCD. The first signs of my OCD started in Spring,2008. It started with me having difficulty with spending a long time in the bathroom, I was in college when my OCD started, I had to quit college because of this bathroom routine. I could not get to class on time. I handwash excessively and take long showers and baths as well. The other areas I struggle with are checking and repeating, thinking rituals, skin picking and pure obsessions. I check that I flush the toilet more than once. I check light switces then closing doors and turning light switches on and off I say the word safe, which relates to my ocd and schizophrenia. An example of my thinking rituals are counting a good number. I am obsessed with the numbers 7 and a 11. I also use the words safe, nothing, no, nothing happaned. I don't know if these words are ocd thinking rituals.I have a really bad problem with skin picking at sores, cuts and acne. I also am obsessed with pulling hang nails, making myself bleed. I get irritated at myself doing the skin picking and hangnail pulling My parents yell at me for skin picking and pulling hangnails. I am nervous that people will understand me. I would like to have some friends who also have OCD. Thankyou for letting me share my story.
