Please tell me if I’m overreacting
Im pretty sure I am being gaslighted into believing I’m overreacting. I am on holiday in the US and visiting family. These trips are always difficult for me as I have contamination ocd, particularly with bedrooms and bathrooms, bodily odours and fluids. My aunt keeps farting around me and in my room, even when I’ve told her not too. She laughs about it everytime because of the reaction of pure disgust that I have. I can’t share bathrooms, I’ve been given my own ensuite by my family and she keeps using the bathroom, leaving it in a state and I struggle so much with bathrooms and she just gets defensive when I get frustrated. She was dirty and sweaty and decided to nap in my bedsheets, and leave my bed a mess when she has a perfectly good bed downstairs to sleep in. I know have to spend ages cleaning my room And making myself feel comfortable again. She’s ruining my holiday and my whole trip. I keep fighting with my mum about it, and I just had an outburst about it all and I think I’ve upset her. But why keep doing something over and over again when you know that person struggles with contamination fears?
