So this hits close to home. My mom has OCD and is always hand washing. Her hands are always red, cracked, dry, sometimes they bleed but not often, and like shiny looking skin where she hand washes. It’s quite sad and she tries using lotion but it gets washed off within an hour. Ty for this video 😌💅

Hi guys :) it’s been a while since I’ve updated and I just wanted to let you guys know that it’s getting worse 😞🥲 her hand washing is still going but now she’s gotten worse as far as OCD cleaning is going. Thank you to everyone who’s been reading these and liking and commenting 🩷 it means a lot to know people care about her story 🩷

Thanks for the useful video. I was planning on washing my hand non-stop for 40 days, and you saved my life

Washing your hands for a few seconds cleans them. Washing them for a few days infects them.

I used to have OCD and it got to the point where my hands would sometimes have to bleed, my mum helped me overcome this by telling me that my arm would be amputated soon and im glad I listened. My skin on my hands is quite thin now but i am proud for overcoming my OCD.

Respect to this guy who actually Washed his hands nonstop for the sake of this video

At work, we have a policy where we wash our hands every 20 minutes.
I do wash them but not as often as I should, and they're super soft and beautiful.
So audit came in and since we don't wear gloves, we had to do the handwashing thing and after 3 hours of that, my hands were starting to get dry.

“Why are your hands so dirty?”
“Because I’ve been washing them so much”

I like how the result is exactly what they were trying to avoid.

Respect to this person for testing this out.

I have OCD, and I used to wash my hands over and over again every 10 minutes. After a while they were so dry and cracked that they would bleed. Despite that I still couldn’t stop.

[benjaminplayz]

I have OCD and it got to the point where my hands were getting cut all the time and it was really quite painful so this video relates a lot

[tannielyfe]

I have OCD and one time I washed my hands so bad the whole sink was covered in my blood and i had scratches all over my hands, they healed up but the utter horror i had on my face will never heal i think after that i finally came to realization of what i was doing

[alex.accetta]

Not even joking I got an ad for hand soap at the end 😂

About 2 months ago, you had 40k fewer subscribers than you have now. Keep up the good work! Let’s get to 500k!

I wash my hands a lot, it causes my hands to be very dry and itchy, and I have these cuts which will occasionally bleed. I haven't been diagnosed with OCD, but if I do have it, hopefully I can overcome it and stop washing my hands literally every time I touch something.
