Yes I can relate. Does this girl know you have OCD? Unfortunately I have to avoid many friends and family due to this type of OCD.

It’s so frustrating, isn’t it? She doesn’t know I have OCD. I don’t know how to tell people that being around them sends me into a state of panic without it sounding really personal. I hate this stupid disorder, I can’t even give my family members a hug when I’m feeling awful. It’s torture. Hope you’re day’s been ok :) sorry to hear you have to deal with this too! We’ve always got each other. d a i s y

My husband has this type of OCD and he can not give hugs to his mother or father..he hugs only me because i am "not contaminated". It is really frustrating, but the mother and the father of him know about his problem and they understand now☺️ i think that if your family will know about your OCD they will try to help you. Why don't you try to give a hug your mother and then get a shower? Maybe that will help you?! Excuse me for the mistakes, i am not so good at english! I wish you good and peaceful days!

Hi Georgi! Sorry to hear about your husband, but thanks for the advice :) My family knows I have OCD, they’re really supportive. I’d definitely love to give my family members a hug! I might try what you mentioned about the shower :) Have an awesome day! d a i s y

Yeah contamination OCD is horrible and hard to explain to friends and family because it doesn’t make sense and doesn’t follow any logic. We just have to ride it out the best we can until this disorder can be treated. Stay strong and hang in there!

Does anyone ever mimic/imagine harm OCD thoughts?
Does anyone imagine they are doing their harm thoughts during an action, making you feel like you acted on your thoughts? For example, someone gave me a hug and at the last second I imagined I was touching something I shouldn’t during the hug? I want to make it clear it’s something I have zero desire to do! But the problem is, I thought it on purpose and it makes me sick !! Obviously nothing happened but my mind is telling me that was me trying to do it. Even though it was physically impossible to do. Am I a monster or could this be OCD? I’m freaking out and don’t want to be here anymore. I feel like I’m the exception and that this isn’t OCD. I know I post about this stuff a lot but I’m struggling and don’t know what to do.

really struggling today
i was in target and saw this kid who looked like my nephew and i didn’t a double take because i thought it was him i was gonna go say hi to him. it wasn’t him, but then my OCD intrusive thoughts popped in and made me want to throw up and run away and hide. it popped in my brain and i was immediately disgusted with myself. i wouldn’t ever do anything to harm a child. WHY IS MY BRAIN LIKE THIS I JUST NEED A BREAK.

I’m stressed right now
I just found out today that a family friend will be staying over at my house (I live with my parents) for a night. And I have contamination ocd and that’s causing me anxiety. I fear that her being here will contaminate my home, which is like my safe place. It’s hard just sitting with the anxiety. I want this day to be over! Does anyone have anything to support me? Thanks
