Don’t give up! It’s just your OCD. Is there something around you right now that you’re afraid to touch? If so, be brave and pick it up and hold onto it and face the fear without doing any compulsions. This is an example of ERP therapy and eventually you’ll have to go through it in order to re-train your brain to not signal distress over these things. It will be a long road ahead, but be strong and don’t give up! Good luck and God bless!

Interesting because you interpret bodily fluid fears in a completely different way to me!! I worry about stuff like that, but I don’t even have the pregnancy fear enter my head, mine is oh god what there sperm/blood and now I have STDs which will end my relationship” Shows how ocd latches onto what’s most important to the person

I am soooo triggered by bodily fluid and period blood in particular. I see it about once a month and it sets me off and has really traumatized me.

Hey, I get contamination ocd aswell and I know it sucks to live with on a day to day basis and forces me to have to wash my hands a lot and say numbers in my head ect dunno if you are doing any therapy at all but I have contacted a while ago a service run by the nhs called talkworks and I think it would help to talk to them as for me talking about my issues to them has been a good first step to improving my life and now they sorted a plan with me so I can talk to a therapist to help me cope and deal with my mental illnesses so I think it could help you aswell as you can both talk to someone and get the right therapy to help you cope, hope this helps

Hello. I’m new here. I have a severe contamination ocd fear. I’m terrified that sperm is EVERYWHERE. Doctors offices, stores, just everywhere. I’m scared that if I touch something that may have sperm on it and then touch myself down there be it masterbation or just wiping after peeing, I will become pregnant. This fear has absolutely absorbed me. Any words of advice on how to rid of this fear? Facts? Please excuse my horrid grammar, just a panicking teen. ( id like to add that I do not have sex. I do not allow bare penises near my vagina and I do not allow freshly ejaculated sperm or freshly ejaculated pre ejaculate near my vagina. )

I have been struggling with OCD for as long as I can remember and I have lost count of how many therapists I have been to. But the main one that has really stuck with me is contamination OCD. but it branches off like if there is a red smudge on paper or somewhere I’ll automatically think it’s blood and have immediate anxiety. But the OCD fear that I have allowed to control my life is the fear of getting pregnant from someone not washing their hands after going to the bathroom or if they did (who knows what) and didn’t wash their hands or shower, or even if they touch their phone (since nowadays we all have ours connected to us at all times)or something before washing their hands and then the sperm could of transferred onto that or anything and then they touch something that I then touch and then if I got pregnant (or even the thought of those “germs/sperm” being on my body at all) my boyfriend would breakup with me and we have been together for over 5 years and I love him with my whole heart so my fear is loosing him. Now I know it’s pretty much impossible to get pregnant like that but my OCD brain is saying well what if it happens to you and your the first person ever. So I literally don’t touch anything after anyone or at least directly without washing my hands right after. I was my hands probably at least 50 times a day and use Lysol wipes on EVERYTHING! I have sanitized my phone 3 times already today. I am in therapy but I feel like talking to others who also suffer and can relate helps too I know this is a strange OCD fear, I guess I’m wondering if anyone has ever had this fear as well?
