Hi, I suffer from OCD. I have developed a total obsession with germs and contamination which has been devastating in the way it affects my day to day life.
I have lots of contamination issues both at home and when I’m out; I am constantly frightened that by not taking enough care in containing germs etc. I will cause harm to others.
I have been receiving treatment from a psychologist for over 18 months now and am also on meds (clomipramine) but I feel as if I am no better with regard to the core issues - in fact these now seem so deeply entrenched that I fear I will never be free of them.
I am just wondering if anyone has similar problems and would like to share things I have found helpful and perhaps hear of things which have been helpful to them.
Best wishes
