Exposure, Phil. It used to be used a lot when I first joined this site. You won't get over your fears by sitting and ruminating about them, only by actually exposing yourself to them and proving to yourself that nothing bad will happen.
From what I have read, your contamination fears sound quite troublesome, and result in you worrying to excess and having to replace things, avoid places, and move house. However, it's your life and your choice to do what you want with it. If you don't want to tackle those issues, that's entirely up to you.
Yes that’s true but that would mean I expose myself to driving again, flying and all these worries. Sure it would be good to try them. You are right nothing bad happens but I think with social media and the news I read lots of stories which puts me off. The contamination thing lately I have been able to touch the feared object.
Why? Those are things you can choose to do or not in life. Some people won't travel much and don't care. But you have little choice in using toilets, bins, door handles and letter boxes.
You are making a start, and it is good to see this because aside from you stopping getting out of the shower to wipe your bum, there has been very little in the way of tackling those other contamination fears. They may come & go but when they come back you are again trapped in this cycle rather than shrugging them off and getting on with your day. Perhaps they don't take over your day as much as they could but why be on here telling us the same stuff over & over and asking the same questions if they are under control?
As for JFDI, it's not about strategy it's about just dragging yourself up & out. Strategy is needed in mental health work but you also need some push behind it to do the plan and that's where JFDI often comes in. A new name for something our classical ancestors did when faced with many horrors of life just as much of mental health is a rebrand of conventional wisdoms.
Nice tat, Venus. I first interpreted it as "Just F..king do it pussy" :winks::roflmao:
