Germs don't attach to fabrics eg hair strands for long. Most of them die straight away. It's warm clammy places they like. Eg palm of the hands etc. And I was drunk and forced myself to be sick down the toilet the other day to get the alcohol up so I wouldn't feel sick when sober, and my hair got all down the toilet and my fingers touched the toilet seat and my hands went down the toilet bowl, I was an absolute mess but I didn't catch anything. I wouldn't worry xx

But even if you did it wouldn't matter. That's what you've got to remember. I had a tummy bug a few months ago and my mum didn't catch it. She heald my hair out of my sick, she heald my hand, she didn't clean the toilet often, but she didn't catch it. And it was definitely a bug cause I know the person I caught it off of. And I know how I caught it. Her daughter chewed on a tube of teaving gel and I took it off her and put it back in the cupboard, and then I ate something about half an hour later without using hand gel. Her daughter had had a sickness bug and still had it. So yeah, the only thing you should wash is your hands before eating xx

Well I'm not sure really what to say other than it is just a feeling, and you aren't gross at all and niether is many objects around you. There is more germs in a womans hand bag than in the toilet

Well as soon as I got in I used hand gel and had a wash but there's no preventing illness, if you're ganna get it you're ganna get it. Unfortunately most bugs are air born xx

Can I please get someone’s opinion on this. I am scared of having my own baby. I’m terrified of the diaper changes. I have the same intrusive thought that I would kiss my child’s genitalia during this. I feel like I could possibly justify it by saying it’s out of love. I’m sure there are parents who have done it in a non sexual way which scares me too. I don’t know if that’s a real possibility but my brain tells me it is. I’m scared that I don’t know if this is right or wrong. And I’m just scared I’ll love my baby so much I won’t see anything wrong with it. I know we’re supposed to sit with uncertainty but this one is killing me and I don’t know how to deal with this.

hi, this is a really embarrassing and personal thing to ask or you but i have severe contamination ocd and i just need to know what’s normal. -please don’t judge and be considerate i wasn’t taught this growing up how do you guys wash down there and wash your behind? i’ve been over washing and it’s hurting- i’m so tired of it —do you guys also wash your hands in the shower after washing these places?

I don't know what to do, my hands have become so numb and bruised because of constant washing hands, i have started hating each and every furniture around me, beacuse i feel they are not clean although they are being cleaned regularly but i cannot stop these thoughts. I clean my phone, bluetooth, charger with wet wipes each day, i don't touch any object around me, i am not being able to focus on my studies or anything else because of my ocd ihave stopped going out, everyone around me is so fed up of me. I have consulted so many therapists and been taking ayurvedic supplements too but nothing works. It is getting worse and worse, please if anybody can suggest me how to overcome these thoughts!
