Hi there, oh yes, it can really make our skin crawl…
There is a new word on the internet… ‘Bontamination ‘. Have a look on google and see what you think… It has certainly helped me a lot. I have contamination ocd too. I would be trapped in rooms, unable to open a door to escape. One day, I realised that no one else was getting ill, except me… my mental health was getting ruined. Grubby people don’t care… They cannot sue me, cos they aren’t perfectly clean either. I left care work cos of their total obsession with food hygiene…
And yet the residents didn’t wash their hands at all…
It was me who worried about getting sued… And yet, compared to them i was practically sterile. And if it doesn’t harm them…
Check out that new word… hopefully it will help you as much as it has helped me.
