hey guys, it’s been a rough few weeks. i’ve been seeing a new counselor, but they take a very abstract approach that hasn’t been very helpful for short-term help. i keep having intrusive thoughts about contamination by germs and chemicals and it’s made simple things like doing the dishes or showering or even eating really hard. i don’t really know what i’m looking for here, but some support might help my brain out.

One user suggested starting Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as it can be helpful in dealing with contamination OCD. Another user mentioned taking small challenges to build up resiliency and gradually overcome the fear of contamination. Remember, you're not alone, and seeking support from others who understand your struggles can be beneficial.
