  1. Thank you so much AmandaG . I never thought about picnic tables etc. And thank you dksea for your outlook too. It’s really kind of you both to care and give me positive ways of coping. I will certainly try to do the baby steps of going back in dksea. And I will certainly try to do what I normally do AmandaG . I really appreciate your kind words from both of you .
  2. Hi I just needed to talk to someone about my incident. A rat from outside got in my living room and as you can imagine I was really anxious. Me and my brother got it out as it was more scared of us which was a relief. The problem now is I feel everything is contaminated as it was running all round the living room on furniture etc. I haven't been in my living room for over a week and sat here in my bedroom slowly trying to wash things and clear the poo up it had left. I am slowly trying to clean up after it but what makes me feel anxious and upset is the fact is I don’t know where it’s been (urine ) and how do I clean things that can’t be washed. My ocd plays me up even further , what if it went in other rooms but logically I saw it run in the hall and found it in the living room . It wouldn’t have had much time to go anywhere else . I also shut the door until my brother came. I wake up with dread knowing I have to face it. Thank you to anyone who reads this and I appreciate any help or just some kind words as I have no one else who knows about my ocd.
  3. I know its so terribly distressing as i have encountered dried blood on items before etc. I have contamination issues too. Hang in there okay. Its only the ocd reinforcing everything . I know its hard try not to wash everything down. Eventually the anxiety will die down . And i know its hard waiting for it to die down but it will. Please hang in there okay. Elizabethx

  6. Hi to everyone . This is my first topic in ocd forum. Basically im after some advice and understanding and who better to turn to than people with this problem. I basically feel so alone in this . And basically i put up with so much rubbish from relationships from men because my ocd haunts me. I tend to stick with men that i should not be for reassurance and keep thinking I have caught somehing which i know sounds crazy but if i stick with them i am sure to find out if they have got anything. In the process I have let blokes use me when i should have told them to get lost all because i wanted to be loved and not alone. I have had several bad relationships where I have been treated bad . I know im not perfect but im just laying everything on the table here. Dont know which way to turn I feel so useless in this world and not worthwhile . I just want to be happy and be loved also be in a strong happy relationship so to have a family. I just cant seem to meet the right person. I have tried focusing on other things but it comes back to this again. i just dont know how to stop myself feeling this way. I am currently on medication but waiting for counselling. I feel so empty and all alone . I would really apppreciate some advice and someone to talk to. Thank you for listening.
