Hi, I’m not a specialist of this by no means and I’m also still on my journey, but I used to have a severe contamination OCD when I was a kid. Now it has evolved to other things that can feel very real. And OCD targets what matters most to us. And it wants us to believe we are DOOMED. It also doesn’t like uncertainty, and a huge part of life is uncertainty. Things will always be uncertain until it’s not! Do not look up for reassurance, do not do research, do not ruminate, it will only make it worse!!! Live life for TODAY!! There are also helpful resources on YouTube that can give ERP sessions or information for your subtype! Hope this helps:) remember, live for TODAY. You only get it once.

Unless you were handling needles recently, the odds of you being infected with anything are slim to none. That being said, I don’t want to reassure you. You have to accept the possibility that you have a disease, and just say “oh well, maybe I do, maybe I don’t.” Believe me, I know how hard this is. I am dealing with a different theme of OCD at the moment that is tormenting me, and I am trying to do the same thing I am telling you.

Told my close friend about how I think I have harm ocd and showed a video describing her experience with it so I wouldn’t have to share mine. Told him how when I see the number 22 I get paranoid that I’ll harm someone, and he gave me advice to go to a psychiatrist then left me on read after we were having a conversation prior. I’m so scared to open up to people about it and now I don’t think I will again.
