so uncomfortable

[Sophie]

hey. so i’m on vacation with my cousin and her parents rented this dingy little house. the windows are dirty and the floors are dusty. i can literally feel myself breathing in dust bc it’s making my throat itchy. my big concern is this bed. i have a feeling they haven’t washed the comforter or pillowcases and my ocd is off the walls. what do i do? i’m stuck here for four days.

Thats a tough one sophie! Some suggestions for ya may be

Day 1...alcohol
Day 2...halfway thru it, alcohol
Day 3...almost there, alcohol
Day 4...last day, celebrate with some alcohol!

Just kidding sophie, maybe it will go fast for ya...your OCD will be at its peak, so hang in there...believe it or not, you'll laugh about this someday!

Hi Sophie, it sounds like you are going through it. I can relate to what you are going through but you need to relax and thy to make the best of your vacation. I too have ocd and do not like being in places that make my skin crawl; however if you feel that unconformable then make some minor changes to suit your needs. When i go places I buy my own pillow and blanket and I wipe things until I feel like it is clean. You will be okay, bc you are a strong individual.

/hugs. I can relate, I had to stay at a dusty dirty house for about a month once. What helped the most was running a small diffuser with essential oils to balance/cleanse out the dustiness. Idk if thats an option for you or not.

Four days isn't that long, hang in there.
