That’s what ocd wants to make you think, no worries it will not happen. Ocd wants to make you think and fear, a great tip is to start festing the fear of making ur sister pregnant in any kind of way. Next time you get the thought ”you need to go and Clean the bathroom or ur sister will Get pregnant because of ur sperm” then ignore it, i know it’s to ignore it but If you start doing it then the fear will fade away.
First of all, that's physically impossible and second of all try to concentrate on something important you have to do after you get out of the bathroom like stuff for school, writting your friends or even playing a video game
Please be sensitive when someone posts about an issue that they are experiencing. To them it’s “real” and we need to realize this even though it makes no sense to us while we read the post. Here’s an article by Jon Hershfield all about this condition and how and why people with ocd feel this way. <<<TRIGGER WARNING>>> https://www.sheppardpratt.org/news-views/story/contamination-ocd-blood-fluids-and-bodily-waste-part-2/
Hey! When this happens, let yourself know, it's just OCD. Afterward, try to distract yourself and do something else instead of cleaning thoroughly! Everytime you give in and clean thoroughly, you're letting your OCD win and strengthening it instead of yourself! Call it what it is: OCD. I've learned that as quickly as I can say, "It's not me - it's OCD" it automatically starts to lose some -even if just a small amount - of power over me...
When i wrote ”festing” i meant fearing.
And Ik Its hard to ignore but Thats What people Who struggle with ocd have to
Omg :( That won't happen. The next time you masturbate, clean it thoroughly and be careful whilst you're cleaning
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. )
Contamination ocd is awful. I have a deep fear of sperm being everywhere! I’m so so so so scared and terrified that I’ll touch something/someone with sperm on it/them and then masterbate/finger myself or wipe after using the bathroom and get pregnant. I’m terrified to touch anything in stores, doctor offices, ect because of that very reason. I’m terrified to touch anywhere near my vagina, terrified I’ll have sperm on my hands from touching something and get pregnant I feel like giving up. I can’t be happy anymore because of this.
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?
