- Contamination OCD
Didn't do a compulsion!!
Hi everyone🤗 How are you doing today? I've been struggling a lot the past few days with certain OCD themes however I do have some good news about my contamination OCD!! Last night I dropped a bit of water and it hit my foot. I was afraid that the water had splashed up from the floor and then on to my foot. Usually I'd go wash my foot and my shoes immediately even if I wasn't certain that it had hit the floor. But last night I decided to be stronger!! I was very tired and couldn't be bothered Washing up which helped me avoid the compulsion! I took a look at the floor and didn't see any water. I then made the decision to accept uncertainty and get back into bed. I did wait for my leg to dry but still this is a huge improvement for this theme of OCD! We've got this!! Step by step! We won't let OCD win!!💪
