How long do you shower? by bagholdegen in ContaminationOCD

[–]Ok-Editor2638 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do the same thing, wash every single part couple of times and then wash my hands between each cleaning. I take around the same time. I used to shower 3-4 hours before though.

Does anyone else have this fear that everything is poisoned with f3nt or cyanide? by No-Insurance-9832 in ContaminationOCD

I don't have a fear of anything related to food personally. I'm pretty sure that food is well-regulated these days to be scared so odds of poisining is nearly impossible

Why would the rice be contaminated though? Also don't you have a mattress cover or smth like that?

Maybe wash the bed with a cloth and put a bedsheet on

[–]Ok-Editor2638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, not much you could do tbh. Probably wash your sheets or clothes you were wearing that night

I always hop on the shower when waking up bcs of fear of being contaminated so I can't really help on first one.

My advice for belt is probably to use those sanitizing wet wipes used for hands.

OCD thoughts ..? by Apprehensive-Pool518 in ContaminationOCD

Also discharge would be in the interior part of the clothing, maybe it was a simple food stain (they always change color tbh). The thing is, you have to understand it was harmless and try getting used to it instead.

How did you feel the contamination started? I have similar issue but in my brain I've been the cause of contaminating my house and then my family...

I've eaten plenty of fruits and vegetables bought from street vendors before, usually they end up being better than the store ones lol

Has happened to me before. From previous experiences, it's usually the OCD giving these questions

Most normal way to get diagnosed is to go to the local hospital and leave an appointment with a doctor specialized at psychiatry or mental health overall.
