I have a fear of dirt/germs/contamination. I try not to touch anything especially in the restroom. I can barely touch anything and I wash my hands until they are really dry. I also use a lot of hand sanitiser. I also do my laundry separate from everyone in my family. I use a special disinfecting laundry mix to do my laundry. I shower multiple times a day. I also try to avoid stepping in mud and puddles because that gives me anxiety. When people step in mud and puddles, I’m internally having a panic attack because of fear of uncleanliness. I clean up after everyone and I nag about cleanliness when people don’t clean/clean things correctly. If they don’t clean it properly to me, I have to re clean it. I have difficulty sharing food and drinks. I have to get a new plastic bottle many times because I feel like my family might’ve drank mine and I don’t want to drink that because it tastes tainted once I drink it. I have panic attacks when someone is sick. If they show symptoms of sickness, I would panic and self quarantine in my room while wearing gloves and mask. I would spray disinfectant everywhere and clean everything. I also have to disinfect my phone regularly. I also can’t leave my house without bringing essentials aka a bad filled with hygiene products and cleaning supplies because of my fear of germs. So imagine me in a pandemic. I’m 24/7 going insane. I would be paranoid and I would have panic attacks a lot. I also can’t stand things not being in order. I’m also obsessed with things being perfect and being orderly. So I don’t let anyone in my room in fear that they would contaminate it and ruin its orderly fashion. I would get triggered if someone messes up something that I put in an orderly fashion. It makes me go mad when things aren’t in order.i would have to check things repeatedly to make sure it’s orderly. I also have to count and list things repeatedly.

Part of therapy for OCD is de-rationalizing that fear. You're right most of the time logic alone is not enough but they will mostly incorporate "flooding" as well- repeated exposure to the aversive stimuli as if to say look, you're perfectly fine, you didn't die, this isn't so bad after all.

Yea, and I think it makes only worse, because he just said(reminded) they exist and probably even showed microscope photos... IMO totally irresponsible, in Howie's place I would be yelling "Are you out of mind?". After that probably Howie would recall that moment for hours, days, weeks... Fortunately, IMO I don't have such strong Germophobia*, I can touch people hands, but after that I keep reminding myself to not touch face, especially mouth and food after that. After touching things if I can't wash my hands and I have to eat, I always hold food in a foil bag etc. But still feels weird, like probably as normal people would feel touching a car mechanic dirty hand or poo or something, like "I hope I can wash my hands as fast as possible". Sometimes it's a little awkward when I shake someone's hand, a few seconds later even if they are looking, wash their hands, and they probably imagine that I don't like them. *apart from washing hands dozens of times, even when they crack after washing as many times, and also hating greasy hand cream... Edit: OMG and he is wearing ring... ouch little triggering

I know the stain will not come in contact with my hands but as long as I see it, it’s very disturbing and disgusting to me. Personally I don’t think that my behaviour is too much but it’s a NECESSARY. However with my surroundings where my parents doesn’t understand me and scolded me for it, hurts me.

Been on methadone for two years now and since then my germophobia as returned in full force I wouldnt say as bad as it was when I was young but constantly washing my hands, going through germx like it was water and often being afraid to hug my own kids in fear of germs only going number two before a shower even if I need to go I would hold it all day.

Madushan Jayawardane it's not nessecarily about germs or being clean. It's about invasive, repetitive thoughts. For instance, as I child I would obsessively think about losing a loved one and doing rituals to help save them (touching doorknobs a certain number of times, keeping everything the person touched even if it was trash). Not rituals in the religious sense, but something I have to do over and over again even though there is no logic to it. Another example- as a child I worried/thought about dying a lot (being separated from family and alone) so I thought getting more air (stocking up) would help prolong my life. I would stock up on air by sticking my head out of the car window trying to swallow more air. I would sit in front of fans breathing deeply for hours and hours on end- past the point of exhaustion. If it was a windy day I would be outside with my face to the wind, even if it was freezing. - The problem is the thoughts. They don't go away. OCD comes in many shapes and sizes. I have a friend who has a form of religious OCD and another who would get mentally stuck on a past mistake. OCD is about obsessive, unwanted thoughts and ones behaviors around these thoughts. There are many degrees of severity.
