Anyone else with contamination OCD find it WILD that people can carry on with their daily lives during the pandemic? Like, there's actually TONNES of people out there who don't wipe down their groceries or shower when they get home. What?? Or like, theres people who can wait to for a few days with symptoms before they go for a covid test. That blows my mind. At the same time, thoughts of those people help me remember to calm down and trust I'm doing things safely.

It's so hard to deal with this every time my period is late i start to think that i'm pregnant oh it's so bad sometimes even when i get my period i still believe that i'm pregnant

So no....no one finds that wild that people can come home and not wipe their groceries? Okay. Hahaha

I get you but est feel like after all this time covid is in the world people find the cleaning like so much work to do and they get sick of doing so they stop after a while it's not healthy or safe but i think the logic behind what they doing also it is very strusseful to live cleaning all the and i think we (ocd people) knows how hard it can be

I also have cantamination ocd but i have only one type of it it's (sperm, semen) ocd i know it's very weird and not very popular in the ocd community but yeah that's one of my many thémes

Hhh Lucky you

I agree it blows my mind what people don’t do for general cleanliness or germs, let alone with Covid. If I am to go out mostly to a doctor appt, I feel I’m already dirty from being there so I will hit the supermarkets on the way home. My groceries go right into the garage or the system below. Clothes into paper bags. Then, I go right into to the shower for a while. I do have a system for my food. I get almost all of my groceries delivered, rarely go to germy store except as stated above. I leave my groceries in garage for a few days. (Except for my cleaning products, Clorox wipes, bleach or Lysol they are temperature sensitive so they go into a clean paper shopping bag.) Then they are put into of the 3 cardboard banker boxes I have by the front door. I wear gloves and wipe down everything that comes in this house. I wear gloves to get the mail and it goes into a paper bag for at least a week. Perishables go into little lunch bag or little 4 gallon trash bags to be wiped down at a later time. I’ve never had Covid, and I am fearful that I could get it. I am not a good candidate to get something like that. I have high blood pressure high cholesterol a little overweight, (but so is everybody else),type AB blood and I’m older, 54 .
