~ I was wondering if anyone else freaks out when an animal (say your dog or cat) does you-know-what.

Also, do you ever get envious of animals?
I mean, like, they do it and then jump around like...

+ Oops, I meant yes, I do have OCD. +

+ My thoughts exactly!
I can think of a lot of things I'd rather happen to me than v* once. +

+ The moment I feel even moderately weird I begin to panic.
I try not to think about it, but my stupid brain likes to control me.
When will it ever end?! +

+ Oh...
I don't suppose I can just use the excuse that I simply prefer hot water, can I?

Anyway, that is great advice you provided!
I think it will help us all.
Thank you! +

+ That's what I figured too.
Actually, is it even possible to stop yourself from v******* when you have a s* v*?
I used to get that a lot when I was a kid, but I could never prevent, no matter how...

+ I squirt a ton of soap on my hands and scrub under hot water (I heard that hot water is better for killing germs).
I scrub until there's soap under my nails.
I have the tendency to smell my hands...

+ I don't think I've ever v****** nothing.
I've had dry heaves once, which was weird because it had never happened to me before.
I don't know if this is exactly the same thing, but I think it...

+ I can relate.
There are just some days where I'll be doing nothing in particular and I think my stomach feels kind of funny.
It's not usually a nauseous funny but more like a "gurgly" funny.
The...

+ I recently learned how to decipher a panic attack from the feeling of real nausea.
It can be difficult to convince yourself that you aren't going to v* no matter how real it may feel.
Usually...

+ Yes, I do.
I don't worry about it though.
Mostly it's just small stuff that bothers me .
Most people find it funny, and I can see why.
Who else walks into public restrooms with such extreme...

+ I have pink. ^.^
I don't like this particular shade that much, but I don't like the colour choices much anyway. +

+ It disgusts me when they get into detail.
I hate when people come out of nowhere and start telling you a story about how they v****** that last time they were sick.
If they try telling me about...

+ I do the same thing.
Every time I see a car pulled over with the door wide open, my eyes widen in wonder and fear.
I say to myself, "I'm just checking if they are going to v*, but if they are, I...

+ Thanks for all your input everyone!

I can only remember actually looking when I was younger.
I was more curious then.
Even though I was terrified, I figured all kids were.
Every time someone...

+ First of all, I would like to say that I am new here and have enjoyed getting to know the stories of others who have dealt with the same problems as me.

I don't know if this applies to anybody...

+ I've never babysat before.
My phobia as one factor and the fact that I don't like kids all that much as another factor.
I honestly don't know what one should do in such a situation where you are...

+ Considering that I no longer have any pets, I can't say exactly how I'd react now.
I do, however, remember a time when I was little when my cat V****** on the floor in our garage.
No one was...

+ Various times, mostly as a child.
I freaked out equally for each time it happened.
That is something that has not changed since I was little.
I remember shutting my eyes tightly, shaking,...
