I touched the car door handle and licked my hands. My fate is undetermined and I hope I live. ???

I'd say it's definitely reasonable and going beyond would be giving into your OCD.

I really hate poison, venoms, bug spray and all that kind of stuff, and always think that I will end up being poisoned myself and die lol but my main concern here would’ve been why on earth did he touched the mouse droppings and didn’t washed his hands after? ? I’m sorry but he’s just gross lol. I also think what you did was enough and I’m so proud of you for licking your hand and not giving into your ocd thoughts. ??

I'd say that's reasonable tbh. Are u having trouble touching your doorknob still, even after cleaning?

Oh yes. I'm afraid we will all die. But if the consensus is that it's safe, I would rather operate from a position that it's the OCD.

I have a two-year-old, a six-year-old, and I'm pregnant with another baby right now. It drives my OCD through the roof.

Tqh, honestly, before I posted, I ended up having a complete breakdown, taking the car to a carwash, and throwing out the kid's new coloring books, because I had those in my dominant hand when I closed the door. This guy was really weird. He looked through our windows after he knocked. He crowded the doorway. He doesn't remember whether he wore and removed gloves. He handled a dead mouse with his bare hands and told me I should probably wipe down the garage door handle because he was handling a dead mouse. AND he told my husband he was going to give him the NRA handshake, where he grabbed his arm, cocked it, looked down his arm like a sight, and pretended to fire it. ??? I cannot shake how weird he was. He was an older gentleman, too, that sounded really young. In fact, tonight, I heard my husband in the kitchen and I was so worried this guy was breaking in, I got out of bed. Too many (or just the right amount of?) My Favorite Murder podcasts, I suppose. But my plan is to not get murdered.

Wow! I would’ve been very uncomfortable around him, and i really think that he’s supposed to wear gloves while handling dead animals, especially a mouse ?, maybe you should call the company and tell them about his weird behavior? I always say to myself that I really don’t have contamination ocd, but after reading this, I think I do, cause I would’ve gone crazy if this guy did those things in my house ?

so i was on instagram and it came up with other signs of ocd then someone commented this doesn’t mean you have ocd now im stressed that its not ocd background - i had so-ocd for a few years then got treatment for it but am now on the waiting list for further treatment for other stuff but i dont have another theme which makes me feel like its not ocd my day to day life consists of touching the door handle every time you go past it or someone will die, and inability to send emails without re reading loads of times and getting other people to check because im scared i wrote something bad but the what if it’s not ocd thought is triggering me now and i don’t know what do

Hi, I’m new to this app and newly diagnosed. Question for you all, What things did you normalize and do without a second thought that when diagnosed, you realized was actually your OCD? Mine was how concerned with germs I am. I hold my breath when I open a door so the rush of wind doesn’t infect my lungs from whatever is in the room. I thought everyone was really careful and concerned like me. But Ive learned it’s not normal the lengths I go to. What was yours?

Hey so a couple months ago (7-8) I remember being upset at my family member. Like she was talking too much while I was annoyed and remember wanting her to be quiet. I got an intrusive thought like a really bad image of doing something really bad to her, and my hand twitched to the side a little? Like it felt like I was about to?! And I remembered thinking "if I do this, I'll get in trouble". I got up and left to the bathroom and felt horrified! I was thinking "did I want to act out? Did the only reason I didn't act out was because of getting in trouble? If there was no consequences, would have I done it?! Does this mean this whole time I've been using OCD as an excuse?" I remember I couldn't sleep for 3 nights because of how bad the anxiety was, I was crying and I felt very guilty like I should turn myself in to a mental hospital. I couldn't eat for many days or be near her because of that thought and twitch I had! I'm worried it was an impulse or I actually wanted to hurt her. And even to this day I still ruminanate about this. Like last night I couldn't sleep well I kept waking up every two hours and asking myself "am I capable?" I couldn't eat last night. Sometimes I move on from it like I forget that happened but when I remember, I feel distressed about it! I don't want to be an evil person or do bad actions towards anyone! I'm even scared to be angry because of this because I'm scared I have more "chance" of acting out due to anger. Like was it an impulse and I held back? Is this even OCD? Please help, I'm really scared!
