13. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this

I think you're on the right track with taking things a step at a time.

I've been mildly germaphobic for years, and I think I'm unlikely to change very much, but for me it's really mostly a food thing. Oh, and I also am a laundryholic, but I've made great strides in that area.

My kids and I joke about some of my OCD tendencies, and I've worked hard through the years to try to overcome them. I was doing pretty good until this pandemic hit, but I have noticed that I've been reverting back to some of the perfectionism that I worked so hard to overcome. Marie Kondo doesn't impress me much.

Good luck. I think you're over a major hurdle just because you recognize that you have a problem and want to change it.
