i remember way back pandemic, my contamination ocd started, noticed that i am severely disgusted when it comes to my own fluid (semen), ever since that year i always wash my hands when i open every door knobs in our house thinking that the semen is there, and actually earlier i pleasured myself and noticed that my pajama absorbed it so i am really disgusted cause what if it touches my bedsheet, so i removed my bedsheet rn and decided to sleep on my mom's foam instead, and like i've been like this ever since, when will it end

I recently developed contamination OCD in the last six months or so. Mine isn’t exclusively about body fluids, but they’re a big trigger. It’s really messed with me because I used to be extremely sex positive & in tune with myself & partners. Now, it’s extremely difficult for me to be ‘in the mood’ as I compulsively think of all the preventative measures I’d have to go through to minimize the mess & all the things I’d need to clean after. Two of my most recent panic attacks were around my partner accidentally touching my hair after he touched his junk (I didn’t have time to shower before work, but did anyway because even after getting dressed & trying to do distress tolerance I was still freaking out) & my partner folding up a towel after he used it to dry off after a shower — since I didn’t know it was dirty, I hung it up & had been using it to dry my hands for 3 days. When I found out I completely lost it. I was sobbing & hyperventilating so much I had to take my acute anxiety meds. I hate having contamination OCD so much.

Contamination OCD and I have COVID :O

I've never had COVID until now. I've tried so hard to avoid it. My family all got it first and I have a baby. We stayed away from the others as much as possible, even had my husband and other kid stay somewhere else, but it was too late and the baby got it and I had to take him to the ER for a 106 fever, and then I got sick from him and I am very sick, and I know the virus is everywhere in, on, and around me, and I don't know how I will ever survive knowing I can't possibly get rid of it from everything. I had to go to the ER for heart symptoms from my illness and they did lots of tests but I'm just very sick. I bet my anxiety was giving me heart palpitations. This really feels like my worst nightmare. Even after I'm better, how can I disinfectant every single thing, the carpets, my baby's stuff, so I'm not worried about infecting other people or even about just having the virus on me? I know it can't make me sick again but it's the contamination that kills me.

Contamination OCD

I don't know what to do, my hands have become so numb and bruised because of constant washing hands, i have started hating each and every furniture around me, beacuse i feel they are not clean although they are being cleaned regularly but i cannot stop these thoughts. I clean my phone, bluetooth, charger with wet wipes each day, i don't touch any object around me, i am not being able to focus on my studies or anything else because of my ocd ihave stopped going out, everyone around me is so fed up of me. I have consulted so many therapists and been taking ayurvedic supplements too but nothing works. It is getting worse and worse, please if anybody can suggest me how to overcome these thoughts!

Hand washing

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
