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 ?

I need advice. I’m constantly washing my hands after going to the bathroom/touching something I find gross, but it doesn’t stop at just washing. I have to keep washing til I feel right (usually 3-4 times). It also isn’t just my hands, I go all the way up my forearms. I know in my head that once is enough. But I can’t kick this repetitive behavior. I know I should just start only washing it once but I don’t know if I can handle the panic that will come after. I need advice/tips if anyone’s gone through something similar what worked for you. Im just sick of this

Does anyone have any tips on how to handle contamination OCD?

This is a long one lol but basically, a couple of weeks ago I went to the toilet (#2, sorry for the tmi). Let's just say it was messy. I remember that a speck of.. #2.. Fell off the piece of toilet paper. This was probably the worst thing that could ever happen. I can't remember clearly but I'm pretty sure my jeans were on the floor underneath near where the speck could have fallen. There was also a towel. I don't know exactly where it fell as it was so small, but I made sure both the towel and the jeans went in the laundry basket and I cleaned the floor near there. Fast forward to like the next day. My mum does most of the laundry, so she will have picked up all the towels and clothes from the laundry basket and taken them to the wash. The problem is the speck. I don't know where it went but if it was on the towel and she picked it up.... Thus, contaminated mum. And she also puts clothes away that are dry. I remember that day she put my hoodie in my wardrobe, and I haven't worn it since because I feel it is contaminated. I haven't worn the clothes that have touched the hoodie. This leaves me with not a lot of clothes. And today I finally snapped and picked up a sweatshirt that had maybe touched the hoodie. And now I'm just sat here spiralling, wearing it. What if it touched the speck? What if the speck touched my mum and then touched the hoodie which then touched the sweatshirt I'm wearing? Please I'm so scared.
