so i put up a post yesterday hoping to get sum feed back or at least some one to talk to about this. my therapist said that this could help but no one replied to me...i want to talk to anyone with the same or similar problem. i feel so alone. my problem again is fear of contamination. it affects my family life, my boyfriend, my job and my friends. i only feel safe at my boyfriends house, because my own house is contaminated. i have to be clean before i go to his house or else it'll get contaminated. i have wasted so much money on things that got contaminated because i throw them away and then have to replace them. i hate this.

well.. All I can say is that there is hope.. I used to do the same things.. if my mum just touched my clothes I'd make her wash them, I washed my hands a million times, could never touch my face, opened the door with my elbow:p it can get better :) I am OCD free now.. well mostly.. :)

well the best that i can call them are "germs." i don't like to have to touch anyone elses stuff, or anything they have touched and i dont want anyone touching my things.i hate door handles, seats, shopping (because other people mess through and touch everything and contaminate). i watch everywhere i walk because im afraid that im gonna step on "germs" and get them on my shoes and then carry them into my house or my boyfriends house and then my family members and boyfriend will be contaminated, i even worry when i have to walk on my sidewalk or yard because i dont want my animals to get contaminated. i see blood all the time, my therapist says im imagining it but i dont think so. what im afraid of getting is aids/hiv, hepatitis c and herpes/cold sores. my life is miserable because of this.i feel like im always on edge and i dont wear my pretty jewelry or hair accessories or shoes to work because i dont want them to be contaminated and i carry my cell phone to work in a plastic zip lock bag.theres plenty more too.way too much to type now tho. im so frustrated and so is my family, it causes tons of turmoil.
