My ground zero is outside germs my room is the only safe spot no one is allowed in nothing from the outside is allowd in my grandmas houst is also one bc she she 2 grand children the she takes care of and that dirty so when i go over there then u come home i hop in the shower immediately or else im not safe
My ground zero is germs. My mother was in the hospital for a broken hip and contracted Cdiff. Being elderly and not have a strong immune system she died. In the 3 month period of her being in rehab I became fearful of getting Cdiff. It’s been 14 yrs now. The fear has never gone away. At first it was just hospital germs I feared, than it spread to everyday germs. I have worked with many therapist and theories. I even worked with Nocd for 1 yr. After 14 yrs I have given myself some grace and decided to take the summer off. I think I was on therapy overload so to speak because I was dreading my sessions so much. Am better than I was but I’ve been told I work around OCD not sure if am managing it or not. But I make it through each day. Not sure if I’ll return to Nocd or not.
Mine is when i read a newspaper article about MRSA 23 years ago and hospital patients were catching it and dying from it. I have been scared of germs ever since. Especially hospitals and I have to do certain rituals to decontaminate myself from germs.
Ground zero in our case is school related all stuffs are unclean and any items taken out of home cannot be touched inside the house😢. It's very hard to plan exposures around that
In my case, contamination is realated to handwashing...after making lather with soap and rinsing, I feel like soap is still their on my hands, I feel like I should rinse more and this rinsing continues sometimes a minute or sometimes 2-3 minutes. How can I check whether soap is rinsed off ?
@@nishant_chhabra You can’t - you probably won’t fully satisfy OCD. You want to ask yourself what is the worst that would happen if soap remained on my hands. Sometimes for some people it is a just right feeling. The goal isn’t to make OCD satisfied, the goal is to not give into OCD’s demands to make sure the soap is fully off.

@@snehakarandikar2914 you’d want to go further and explore what makes those items from school unclean. School isn’t ground zero, it can go further.
