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

This is a long one lol but basically, a couple of weeks ago I went to the toilet (#2, sorry for the tmi). Let's just say it was messy. I remember that a speck of.. #2.. Fell off the piece of toilet paper. This was probably the worst thing that could ever happen. I can't remember clearly but I'm pretty sure my jeans were on the floor underneath near where the speck could have fallen. There was also a towel. I don't know exactly where it fell as it was so small, but I made sure both the towel and the jeans went in the laundry basket and I cleaned the floor near there. Fast forward to like the next day. My mum does most of the laundry, so she will have picked up all the towels and clothes from the laundry basket and taken them to the wash. The problem is the speck. I don't know where it went but if it was on the towel and she picked it up.... Thus, contaminated mum. And she also puts clothes away that are dry. I remember that day she put my hoodie in my wardrobe, and I haven't worn it since because I feel it is contaminated. I haven't worn the clothes that have touched the hoodie. This leaves me with not a lot of clothes. And today I finally snapped and picked up a sweatshirt that had maybe touched the hoodie. And now I'm just sat here spiralling, wearing it. What if it touched the speck? What if the speck touched my mum and then touched the hoodie which then touched the sweatshirt I'm wearing? Please I'm so scared.

I know this is a super weird question, and maybe it’s not an OCD subtype…but maybe there are other people on here that won’t think I’m nuts! 🙃 I am terrified of getting pregnant. I have actually been that way since a young child, and have LOTS of rituals I am working to stop around it. Is there a specific type of OCD that is? Thank you in advance!

i finally moved in to my dorm and im with my dormmates rn, earlier i touched the string that my mom used to tie my bed foam and i feel like its from our house. i have a really bad contamination ocd especially to my own body fluid (semen), i used to touched things while my hand is contaminated with it back then and i feel like my family also touched those so i feel like everything in our house is contaminated with it. i want to move to my dorm without that feeling and sanitized all my things before going, but after that tie my mom used and touched i feel like my whole things and body is contaminated rn and i feel really really dirty and idk what to do
