Anyone out there who is suffering from OCD and is eleven, and has contamination OCD? I want to talk to someone my age who understands what I’m going through!
The fear that I’m going to throw up. And minor fears of catching a cold. And I have perfectionism and somatic. What are your interests/hobbys?
Hey! I just want to say as a former 11 year old many years ago, I too had severe OCD and today I am living my best life and have become so much more free from OCD. Just hoping to give some hope as I know how difficult OCD can be, especially when you're so young. Just know that it will not always feel this way- it can get better. If you're able, see a ERP/OCD specialist and get treatment early. You got this!
Please help i have 8 différent somatic obsessions
Thank you so much! I am doing ERP and I have a licensed therapist! It has been helping a lot!
Oops 😬. Not a trigger warning! 😅😅😅

Hey! I'm 12 and have Contamination OCD too. I'd be willing to talk if you want.
Ok! Thanks Marisa! So what is your OCD fear?
Getting things or myself dirty. What's your OCD fear?
I like drawing/animating, arts & crafts, writing stories, listening to music, watching YouTube, & sewing. What about you?
I like to paint, draw,( although my drawing are terrible) listening to music, crafting, sewing doll clothes and costumes, and playing on my Nintendo switch. What’s your fave: Color? Animal? Food? Tv show?
That's cool! My favorite color is Seafoam Green. My favorite animal is a monkey. My favorite food is Mexican food. My favorite tv show is probably Fuller House. What about you? What do you like to draw? Do you have any original characters? What kind of music do you listen to?
@*Marisa* My faves are: Greens and blues for colors Cats and owls for animals My fave food is Chinese food My fave tv show is Spirt: riding free and Spirit: riding academy. I like to draw people from their heads to about a quarter of their torso. I not the greatest drawer, but I try. I have this make believe game where I am a superhero called Ultra, who has all the powers in the world, and I drew the characters for them. I love electronic music, and Shakira, Megan Trainor, and La Roux. You know it’s really nice to have someone my age to talk to that has OCD, and understands. I have two best friends who don’t have OCD and don’t really understand.
@Pennyroyal P.S Your profile pic is SO cute! Did you draw it?
@Pennyroyal Thanks! Yes I drew it that's my OC Grey. Yeah I don't have any friends with OCD either so it's nice to talk to you too.
@*Marisa* Btw I told my mom we connected through here & she asked if we wanted to connect on Facetime or iMessage or something since it's easier to talk on there lol. Maybe she could call your parent so we could exchange info if you want
@*Marisa* Oh sure! Lemme ask my mom! What’s your phone number?
@*Marisa* Lol gotcha
@Pennyroyal Ok took pic! I saved it so I still have it, but you can delete it here. And it IS gonna be SO easier to chat to each other on a phone!
@Pennyroyal And yes I get the “random people calling thing”
@Pennyroyal Cool! Hope our moms can talk soon
@*Marisa* Ok so my mom says we need to get to know each other more! So when do you live? Like in which state? And do you have any siblings? And how old are they?
@Pennyroyal Just so you know I have TWO brothers, one nine, one six. So if we call, they might be LOUD.🙄😂
@*Marisa* Oh wow! Lots of siblings! So you’re like the second oldest? I live in Georgia, but my mother was born in New Hampshire, and my dad was born in Oregon, but lived in California. Also what does XD mean? Lol l don’t speak in abbreviations!🤣
Hey Marisa! Here’s some top ten faves! Fave dish? Fave pizza toppings? Fave candy? Fave snack? Fave tv show character? Fave game? Fave board game? Fave toy? Fave emoji? Fave music? This is one of the best ways to get to know somebody. I know because I’ve seen this on TV shows. And it really helps me to know like what you like!
Hello, i have very severe contamination ocd, and as i am writing this i feel my hands are dirty lol, but anyways i wanted to know if there’s anyone specialised in Contamination ocd? No matter what type because i really need help and i looked up things but it doesn’t help please!!
Is there a therapist or a specialist on here that I can briefly chat with? Or maybe an OCD conqueror who’s very familiar with the disorder? I need an experienced person to talk to me so bad. I just really wanna talk to somebody about what I’m going through so that I feel less alone, and so I can maybe get help managing my symptoms. Thank you in advance ♥️
sorry this is super long i just wanna know if anyone else has been thru something similar bc i feel super alone 🩷 i have super bad contamination ocd. it was bad already but my house was like my safe space until a few months ago someone brought something into my house that i considered ‘contaminated’. and so then i felt like that part of the house was contaminated, then it spread to everything outside my room (since family is moving around touching stuff) and then somehow i got convinced everything in my room except my bed is contaminated and i need to wash my hands after touching it. in my mind its like the contamination just infinitely spreads to things after the tiniest bit of touch. idek what im afraid of anymore or even what the original thing was but i can’t let it go. when i have to wash off contamination i have to wash at least 4 times or until it feels right, or sometimes take rlly long showers and wipe down all my stuff. i even throw away food and clothes or just whole items sometimes because they feel so contaminated i don’t want them in my space. i can’t be super near people or have anyone touch me, and i also can’t bring anything new into my room since it had to go through the entry of my house which feels contaminated. i feel like all i do is lay in bed and then wash my hands and do compulsions so i can go eat or do other stuff around the house. also i never go out because i’m bc people outside make me feel dirty, and i hate thinking about how many people have touched stuff in stores or in public and stuff. so im just in my room worrying all day. i feel so trapped and the contamination/avoiding it is all i think about anymore i barely have time for anything else and im never present when i talk to people because im worrying about if i accidentally got contaminated. im starting erp next week and knowing that im going to have to expose myself to things is really freaking me out. does anyone else have this kind of ocd ? im exhaustedddd 🥲🥲💔
