If you're a community psychiatric nurseYou already know the answer to your own question. You're just looking for validation from others. If you really didn't want/need help, you wouldn't have made that post.

AyeIf he's a CPN, why is he doing this? Those guys need to have a clean bill of mental health to be able to do their job. Either that, or his OCD has evolved as a coping mechanism- a ritual cleansing of all the shit he goes through on a day to day basis (knows something of psychology).

"Those guys need to have a clean bill of mental health to be able to do their job"- You'd like to think so wouldn't you? People who work in mental health are some of the weirdest people out there. Trust me, I've seen colleagues with worse coping mechanisms than handwashing.

HmmmSome CPNs I've met in my time seemed to be quite normal. Then again, I suppose that is the day job. Although one I know is a Christian. Make of that what you will.

Its a well known fact that Psychologists are batshit crazy but extremely good at hiding it, they do psychology in a attempt to cure/understand themselves. For some reason the male ones are rarer and crazier than the women.

I spent 5 years avoiding going to counselling for panic attacksand then I finally went. And the counselling was horrible, but I've been so, so, so much better since and wish I'd gone sooner. What have you got to lose? If it doesn't work you won't be any worse.
