How can I manage contamination fears while caring for my injured mom?
Contamination fears
My mom has hurt her leg and is struggling to use it as of now. With me dealing with overwhelming contamination thoughts this scares me as I may have to help her to use the restroom or shower until sheās able to maneuver. I feel like a bad person for being overwhelmed by this because I donāt want to be selfish but I feel so scared that iāll have to deal with this fear I have if she ends up needing help from someone else in the house other than my dad. I am super afraid of my own bathroom germs so this is just extremely overwhelming and scary to me. Has anyone ever dealt with anything similar?
