I have a friend that was diagnosed with OCD but it isn't very severe. He goes through spurts. Sometimes it is really bad and sometimes you would never know. He has the classic washing of hands. However he takes it to the extreme and scrubs them so much that they usually bleed and then it becomes a vicious cycle because now he has to wash them because they are bleeding. Most of the time if I ask him why he is washing his hands he doesn't know. He just feels the urge to wash them because he might have touched something bad. BUT then he will go camping or some sort of outdoor activity and he won't wash his hands all day.
