What I do is make a checklist to make sure I cleaned what needed to be cleaned and if that doesn't work I try to distract myself by doing some hobbies or going out

I stopped dm me for help ima need to know what exactly you do soo I can help you . What ur hand washi ng process is for how long you count , how often you do it

honestly it depends on a lot of factors, for me personally i started handwashing less and sanitizing more - i find that its less drying on my hands though its kinda equally as unhealthy, in this case i just substituted but tips on stopping completely depend on why you have that obsession/compulsion w handwashing. is it from a fear of feeling unclean, a trauma thing, a learned behaviour, a guilt related thing etc

Also here for advice! And best wishes friend! 🤗💕

so sort of a mix between fear/guilt, maybe pointing out to yourself many people (especially post covid) are a lot more careful when it comes to touching things and then their face for example, and on top of that it really wouldnt be your fault, youre taking your medication and taking care of yourself, youre being thoughtful and mindful of others which is more than enough. another thing could be exposure, (though this is recommended w a therapist/licensed doctor) just "small" things like instead of everytime you touch something 95% of the time, or when you get those thoughts reasonably arguing a pros and cons type of thing, or reaffirming that its not your responsibility to catch everything, despite how hard it is to try and accept/believe that (and letting the people around you know that youre concerned about them ingesting your medication, so that theyre more careful and not all the pressure is on you)
