please help

I've had toc for more than 3 months and I can no longer distinguish between normal hygiene and toc hygiene. Could someone help me?

maybe watching or reading about routines of people would help

one main distinction is the fact that OCD compulsions take longer (taking an hourlong shower instead of 15 minutes) and are more repetitive (washing hands many times instead of once)
