Today, I'm trying to get over my OCD by wearing 2 different shoes. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I was at a second interview for a job that I really need as I got laid off last month. Midway through the interview, I went to cross my legs and realized I had 2 different shoes on. FML

The limp
Today, I wore a new pair of shoes to work that I'd bought yesterday. Around lunchtime, I finally realised that one shoe felt slightly tighter than the other. I took it off and found some paper stuffing still inside. I'd spent five hours walking around with it. FML

Will people notice?
Today, I put on a sock. Then another sock. When I got into public, I realized my two socks were slightly different shades of blue. FML

Mix and match
Today, as I was getting ready for church, I couldn't decide between my black or white shoes. I put one of each on, then my son started crying. Fast forward, I'm at church, I look down and I'm wearing one white shoe and one black shoe. FML

Today, I wore a new pair of shoes to work. By lunchtime, my feet were covered in blisters and I had to limp my way through the rest of the day. FML

Today, I wore a new pair of shoes to work and spent the entire day hobbling around in discomfort. It wasn't until I got home that I realized I had forgotten to take remnants of the packing foam out of the tips of the shoes. FML

The price is right
Today, I wore my new shoes to work, feeling confident. Halfway through the day, I found out that I'd forgotten to remove a giant price sticker on the left sole. My boss pointed it out during a meeting, as I crossed my legs. FML

Today, eating my weight in breadsticks at Olive Garden and trying to relive my childhood via a pogo stick was not a good combination. My new shoes are now a different color. FML

Unacceptable!
Today, I walked around town doing errands. When I got home, I realized my short socks were two different shades of white. FML

Does not spark joy
Today, I was super proud of myself for organizing my entire wardrobe. As I went to admire my work, I pulled out a sweater and knocked over the entire shelf of shoes. Now everything's on the floor and I can’t find my favourite pair of socks. FML

I don't have OCD and I won't be able to wear 2 different shoes for more than 1 minute. So don't worry if this doesn't work, it doesn't mean you failed, it is normal for a majority of people to be bothered by things that are not symetrical : wearing only one sock, one glove, having only one hand or socks wet by water, etc.

No disrespect, but... why? Start out with something small, something less noticable. Try wearing two different socks instead. Last thing you want is people to point out you're wearing two different shoes, just makes you more aware of the situation.

Everybody does. If you wore two identical shoes, one would be on the wrong foot and would hurt to walk in.

I’m diagnosed with severe OCD. It’s extremely hard to get ourselves out of the obsessions and compulsions but it’s needed to live as normally as possible. You’re doing great by actually pushing yourself to do an exposure! Most shy away from it but it is the best course to make the OCD voice quiet down. Continue to do small little things even if it’s just for an hour. Don’t push too much or it can set off a spiral downfall. Baby steps and try to stay positive! You got this
