Does anyone else suffer from OCD related to getting sick besides just worrying about germs?
Does anyone else suffer from OCD related to getting sick besides just worrying about germs?
I think most people do, to an extent, with emetophobia. I take things off people's plates when my mother cooks because I don't want them to vomit, and I avoid streets with lots of bars and things when I'm out in the city... I also HAVE to have my music in while I sleep in case someone in my house vomits and the sound wakes me up...
i have something with the number 6 cause it sounds like sick
My OCD tendencies are mainly just centered around food and food-prep. I am OCD about washing my hands when making food or touching something I am eating as well as others' hygeine when touching my food, but when I am not eating I just wash my hands as frequently as a normal person would. I am starting my own business in photography and I am a perfectionist when it comes to doing everything right and doing everything NOW, it stresses me out a bit, but those are really my only OCD tendencies.
I have OCD I am constantly using lysol spray all winter long on everything! If I hear that someone has been s*, even if me or wnyone in my house has not had contact with them I still go nuts with the lysol. I must go through 2 or 3 cans a week in the winter. I always have to clean the bathrooms too, with bleach everyday!!!
Whenever I come home from being someplace in public, especially the doctors, I have to spray a lot with Lysol. The bottoms of my purse or shoes and anything I touched when I was there like my phone or iPod. I also always chew gum and mints A LOT. I always heard mints and stuff kind of ease stomach aches. I always have them on hand incase I eat out or something.
I have no OCD tendancies which is really strange for an emet,I guess I am kinda lucky xx
