So I got in my car today (I donāt leave often due to my contamination OCD regarding gasoline and chemicals) and it turned out that I had a flat tire. I went to the only tire shop open to get a nail patched and the tech had to drive my car into the bay to get the tire taken off (I wouldāve preferred to drive it but he already had the keys and got into it). I had seen his hands and they were pretty dirty and that stirred up my ocd into thinking āhe has gas on his hands/ is contaminated and is now touching my steering wheel, shifter, e brake, handle and everything else so now everything is contaminatedā. Now Iām home and exhausted due to the stress but I now have to wipe down my car before I go anywhere else because I feel like their is residue in my car. It also didnāt help that I saw a nice big greasy handprint on the inside of my door and now I feel as if there is gas everywhere. Any advice? OCD has been driving my life nuts and making everything extremely difficult. Yes I am already seeing a therapist and doing cognitive behavioral therapy with a bit of ERP.
