Help need some advice I was exposed on an outing with a gay person and I was freaking out still am bc of it and then I tried going in a store to distract me but then it happened again at that point I was so shaken up I was in shock and the fact I can't clean anything is horrible I don't want to go home bc that's my safe place and I don't want to contaminate it I know I'm not supposed to clean but I'm super uncomfortable😑🤧😰😭

These high anxiety moments can feel like it's one trigger after the other for sure. I would try in these moments to let yourself feel those feelings while trying not to add further fuel to the fire by doing additional rituals. I know in the moment it feels tempting and almost necessary to do these safety behaviors when you're feeling so anxious but I would challenge you to give your brain the exprience of seeing that these experiences are uncomfortable rather than dangerous. You've got this!.
