I’m so sorry you’re going through that. A real man should never treat a woman that way:( Have you told anybody?

Sorry for what you’re experiencing. I also have contamination OCD. I had "friends", when my OCD was bad, who would poke fun at me because of my OCD. Very painful and embarrassing. My family didn’t understand, either. Fortunately, I found other friends in the ensuing years and an understanding wife. I hope you find the same, eventually. Take care.

I have it seems like all my family and friends turned their backs on me. I guess I wore everyone with my problems. I know it is not easy to deal with a family memeber with contamination ocd but he has no compassion and says the most hateful things. I am all alone. All those who said that they would stand by me seem to ignore me now. How do I go on? I want to get better for my son but have no family or friend emotional support.

I know I have been trying to start therapy but just moved and haven't been able to start until we get settled so I can start and focus on therapy. (Been through 4 therapist to no avail) My husband is emotionally abusive and does and says means things to trigger my contamination OCD. I just don't know where to turn in the meantime before therapy starts. It is not something suitable to call 911 over, but with someone who had severe contamination ocd it is very hard to deal with in the moment and I have nobody to turn to or talk towhen my husband does what he does to make me feel worse. On top of that he tells me things like "go to sleep and not wake up again" I am trying to heal myself of ocd, but can't into therapy as soon as a I want given our moving circumstance. I just needed to reach out to someone who is not telling me that he wishes I would die becauze he cant handle my ocd.

I have contamination OCD and sometimes I don't feel like cleaning. I have a huge pile of blankets on my floor that feel contaminated and I have two dogs and seven cats. I don't really touch them anymore like I used to since my OCD got worse. One of my dogs like to pee on my floor a lot and sometimes I'm too lazy to clean it, because I'd have to get the carpet shampooer out and actually clean. Sometimes I do it because I don't want to wash my hands over and over, so I just avoid it. Now I'm scared that the dry urine is on my feet and are now in my bed. I know that I should just say well maybe it did or maybe it didn't and just go about my day, but it's hard. For the people who conquered contamination OCD how did you get through stuff like this? Thank you in advance to anyone who answers my post.

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!

I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.
