After two and a bit weeks trapped indoors due to OCD, I've now been outside twice in two days 😇 it took a week of building up to it and it's certainly not super comfortable but it's good to be fighting back.

Contamination OCD

Keep up the good work and don’t let OCD win :)

I have a challenge for you. Why don't you do a mental exposure until instead of fully going inside? If you're not ready to do that, I reckon just do baby steps if that's all you can do. For instance, if you can write as a reply in this comment what it would be like to step outside to vividly describe it and so that in your head will be an exposure and will help you in the long run

I know what you mean. Imaginary ERP. I've used that in the past. I guess I've used that to an unofficial degree this time. I might need to use it too although I tend to use it to think up all the things that could go wrong and mitigate them.
