Hi! These types of situations can be really triggering and make us feel like we can't know 100% - which OCD does not like. Treatment for OCD is going to be all about learning to be more comfortable with the idea and the reality that there is nothing in the world that is 100% certain or for sure. OCD wants us to be 100% but we just can't be.

It will be uncomfortable but you can do it.
