Afraid of doing something disgusting, unhygienic

[zx123]

I've got these thoughts on my mind at the moment. I'm thinking what if I just did something disgusting?, Does that mean hat I am dirty or disgusting? even if I did it by accident? Is it not so bad if I did do it by accident? I worry that if I did something dirty or unhygienic that it makes me dirty or unhygienic, or bad or disgusting. I wouldn't do something unhygienic or dirty on purpose but I worry if I did it by accident.

Stop analyzing the thoughts. That's what you're doing. Trying to figure out what your thoughts mean about you. It's all an OCD trap and you'll be thinking endlessly about it until you force yourself to stop. None of it matters. Don't get into doing compulsions like that. Leave the thoughts alone. So what if you did something disgusting -- that's the type of attitude you need to have.

hi,

thanks for the advice,

I tend to think that if I did something unhygienic, even if it was by accident that people would think I was disgusting or dirty.

I find it hard to get these thoughts out of my mind sometimes.
