Contamination OCD
May be too much info but every time I go #2 (which is not often and is another problem) I feel the need to not sit/lay anywhere so as to not contaminate anything. I wait at least an hour to then clean the restroom. Clean and mop the floor Iāve walked on. Spray the carpet Iāve walked on. Then check myself again. Then shower. But showering takes me at least 30 min. I shower, then I also clean the shower and shower myself again. Then once Iām out of the shower I go into the tub and wash my hands and feet. Itās too stressful. It takes too much time away from my kids. I feel like such a failure. And I know this is not normal. I have to keep reminding myself that other people donāt do this after using the restroom, but here I am. Then I feel so disgusted with myself.
