The contamination thing also creates anxiety with the fear you are spreading germs or uncleanliness to members of the public from clothes you consider contaminated. I’ve often said that if I lived on a deserted island with only me then this contamination stuff wouldn’t bother me. You feel sly and that you are doing something wrong if you go out in clothes that are contaminated, for example you sit on a seat in a cafe and you feel anxious because you shouldn’t have worn that jacket or maybe your jeans are contaminated in some way. It takes different forms
Thank you SO MUCH for this video Rob. I have found it so rare to see such a detailed description and understanding of Contamination OCD that you have just given us. I really needed this. I so look forward to your other videos on Contamination OCD. It would be great to have a description and examples of the techniques involved in tackling Contamination OCD. Once again, THANK YOU!
Recently my barber cut a ingrown hair by accident. Nothing major just a pimple practically and some little blood. He was angry at himself as it looked unprofessional and I told him to calm down and that nothing wrong. Then on the drive home the OCD opened up if he forgot to change the razor blade and now I’m contaminated with HIV or anything else… can’t take this shit anymore
How do you overcome this? I got this out of nowhere! 7 months so far. Very tired. Will only eat certain food . Same food for 8 months. So much memory issues. Can’t remember short memory is gone.

So good! Understanding helps me a lot. Do you have any videos on ROCD? That tends to be the worst for me.
And health ocd.
If you go to the playlist section of this TH-cam channel, you'll find playlists on ROCD and Health OCD.

Can hypothyroidism cause this? Hormonal issues?

Even a random brown stain or crumb my brain automatically thinks its poop 💀
