Hi, here I am again so soon, Ifeel like I have lost all sense of normality withOCD, my husband got some wet washing out of washer into laundry basket in our kitchen then proceeded to empty our kitchen bin, while the wet washing was still there in my small kitchen. I had a massive panic, but he wouldn’t rewash the laundry and put it into the dryer. Is this a normal thing to do .? Obviously it was horrendous to me, but like I said I feel like I don’t know what is normal living anymore. Thank you x

Hi everyone, I haven’t posted in a while, I’ve had severe contamination OCD for 35 years about, I got a lot better at one point, but then I’ve had a massive relapse. My anxiety is through the roof, my confidence is nil. The worse thing for me to see is always something black, for eg. a black mark on the carpet or floor, or on the doormat I have the initial panic immediately, but then the worst thing is I start connecting, like if my husband got rid of the black spot, then he could have contaminated his clothes or the door handles as he is going past them, and so on.I have had some therapy, then was referred to someone else, by the GP, but now they have said they can’t offer me any help, I feel really let down and abandoned. I feel my world is getting smaller, I don’t go out, as I’m too worried about what I might see, then this results in a horrendous long. shower .Thanks for reading this.x .

Hi, doesn’t anyone with contamination OCD, have similar problems?? Just wondering.

Hi everyone, does anyone else who has contamination ocd have problems with food. Ive always had a fear of chicken or turkey, due to reading years ago about the dangers of food poisoning. I’ve had OCD for over 35 years. I recently suffered a back injury, and couldn’t walk very well, so this has not helped. My husband likes chicken etc, and enjoys it. He usually has a ready meal for example curry. I have to go out of the way whilst he eats it. I know this isn’t right, but I just can’t help it. I’m still waiting again for treatment, but I’ve been told that won’t be until March at least. I’m really afraid of any raw meat, my mum has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, she was always my rock, would always listen. Unfortunately now she can’t process things the same, it’s so sad. This seems to have ramped my OCD up a lot. My husband is very good but can lose his patience at times, which is understandable, as we all know. My confidence has gone, I want to be strong but , isn’t out with the best intentions, then fail. Thanks for reading, and take care.
