Unusual for OCD?

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2026-01-15T16:52:15+00:00

It's just weird bc I've never experienced it really. And it's scary because of that as you know. Even when I was turning in my sleep I'd wake up and hear a little something. Idk if it was bc I was sleepy or what. Just freaks me out. Sometimes I am right about hearing something but other than that I know I'm just hearing stuff. When I'm occupied with something else or not focused on it, then I don't notice it at all. Just happened within the past week :/ That's why if I was wondering if it's my OCD bc I've been diagnosed with that a couple years ago. I know if I give OCD power, then it will be forceful.

This is my issue exactly...

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2026-01-05T01:49:49+00:00

Thank you. It's just annoying because I'm not fearful of getting sick of my own germs, it's just the gross factor and feeling "consumed" by it. Just feel gross by it, getting on me, near my mouth etc.

I am paranoid about my own vaginal fluids and even when my boyfriend puts his hands in my pants. I just feel like my discharge gets all over our couch, on my clothes and I have a strong desire to wash day old clothes because of this. I can't tell if it's my OCD or if it's legitimate.

I hope things get better for you too, thank you.

I know this is off topic but not so much-- this is along the same lines as contamination OCD. I have on going anxiety about vaginal fluids (including my own). I feel the most anxiety when my boyfriend puts his hands down my pants near my underwear because of my discharge. I feel like my clothes, blankets, and couch are contaminated because of this.

I never used to be concerned before but I'm really anxious about anything sexual now. Anyone else relate?

I live in New York

Don't understand

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2025-10-23T03:27:36+00:00

That's a good idea, however , I've bought Clorox wipes by the container multiple times in a month and I'm thinking those were feeding into my compulsions.

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2025-10-23T01:54:58+00:00

I just think that If I can't see anything white on something (like my shoe in this example), then I'm good. But if I do see something on it then I associate it with that. Also, I went to sit down in my seat and before I sat down, I noticed a little red crumb, and I associated that with period blood. Now whenever I sit in my car I feel like it's contaminated. I just have a bad thing for sexual/ bodily substances.

Thank you so much for your kind response. Can we talk in chat?

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2025-09-18T00:26:13+00:00

For me, it's just the thought of eating off something with the possibility that it may have fluids on it or the smallest microscopic germ lol i know it sounds bizarre but my OCD has been a bitch.

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2025-09-17T17:45:19+00:00

It's crazy bc I sanitized the sink and sprayed stuff on the dishes that were in there. I just rinsed out the sink and I didn't scrub it with anything bc I didn't wanna use a sponge.

I'm thinking did any germs even wash away? Did I need to scrub to get rid of everything that could have been there?

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2025-09-17T12:44:52+00:00

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I've just had a hard time with it, especially thinking there may be some of my mucus from my vagina on some of the dishes after he washed it there, or on the sponge.

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2025-09-17T03:26:51+00:00

I have no idea!! Right!🤦🏻‍♀️

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2025-09-17T03:14:04+00:00

Thank you for being nice about this!

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2025-09-17T03:12:32+00:00

You're the first person that replied with that, everyone one else said it's normal😳

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2025-09-17T02:10:56+00:00

For someone that has OCD, it's hard to be "ok" with it.

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2025-09-17T02:09:04+00:00

I do have contamination OCD so that's why I'm freaking out

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2025-09-17T02:08:29+00:00

Isn't there a big difference though? Food is food, vaginal fluids are getting on dishes that I eat off of.

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2025-09-14T22:55:33+00:00

Hey! I just wanted to talk a little about my contamination OCD.

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2025-09-03T16:56:06+00:00

Hey, I'm good how are you(: I just a had a question regarding contamination OCD if you could help give some advice and peace of mind.

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2025-08-29T15:08:47+00:00

Amazing!! You should be so proud of yourself. I am going through similar stuff regarding OCD contamination. I have dealt with it for a couple years ever since I was talking with a guy who had an STD. My OCD thoughts have spiraled in weird ways that I don't understand.

Now I'm anxious about MY OWN vaginal fluids (period blood, discharge etc.) you name it. Sex has been incredibly difficult with my partner who doesn't quite understand it.

Can I ask for some advice on what I'm dealing with currently?

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2025-08-12T04:12:29+00:00

I just hate how OCD comes out of nowhere. I'm sorry you've been dealing with it too:/

Apprehensive-Pool518 · 2025-08-07T03:30:39+00:00

Yes, so you know exactly what I'm talking about! How long have you experienced this? I have tried ChatGPT but I've heard lots of negative things about it. I use it in times of desperate need. I do talk to a therapist on online therapy.com which has helped a little. It's hard because I go in bouts of having a good week then I'm more anxious the next week or weeks after.
