Contamination
I may have brushed up against my bed with my outside clothes on. Will this contaminate my bed? Also has anyone else felt that they had breathing problems from spraying excessive Lysol?

As someone who also struggles with contamination ocd, I try to think of these situations like this: so many people who don’t have contamination ocd wear their outside clothes in their house and sit on their couch or even sit or lay on their bed and they are fine. So many people touch their outside clothes when they are out and then touch food with their hands and they are fine. It’s hard for our minds to accept these things as okay but these things happen all the time and a lot of people don’t even think twice about it

Your bed should be completely fine, don’t worry about that! As for the Lysol thing, yep, it’s not great to spray too much but in moderation and you’re not just going up to it and smelling it on purpose, you should be good.

Any tips for construction and contamination
I live in my parents’ house and they are currently redoing the roof and the insulation in the attic. My parents’ house is at least 50 years old. The only way into the attic is through my room. I knew I would have to relocate but now I feel like my room is contaminated and can just never been clean. I feel like everything needs to be thrown away that was exposed to the old insulation or touched by the workers. No matter what I do I just will always think that my room is dirty. Does anyone know how to push past getting stuck with these thoughts? Or dealing with people making you feel worse because they don’t understand?
