I have horrible intrusive thoughts surrounding physical contact of any kind with other people. Hugs make me feel like my skin is crawling, sitting next to another person launches me into compulsively checking my breathing, etc.
I understand that the only way that I can push through my OCD is to practice exposure therapy but this is the most difficult for me. I've had success leaving my apartment, going to public places and eating in public but the thought of initiating a hug fills me with intense dread.
Have any of you experienced similar issues and if so, how did you work through it?
