    Default Advice please!!

    okay so my friend at school has a sv, and she sits at my table. I need some reassurance to avoid it. Also, today I touched my necklace and my shirt, which when i bent over touched my lips. I touched 2 door knobs earlier before that. A little anxious about that :/

    Sadie honey, you're getting really worked up over stuff even the worst of emets don't tend to panic over. Yes, most emets are very vigilant about their hygiene, but they are definitely way less cautious than you seem to feel. Think about this, if most of the members on here generally don't worry about everything, every thing they touch, yet are not getting sick from it, you can safely assume that you will fare the same. I don't mean you should go all out and not wash hands at all, just try to find strength in the fact that if emets are doing it, then it gets the 'emet check'. You will find that as soon as you do stuff you wouldn't usually feel safe doing and time and time again, you end up fine, this phobia will have less and less control over you. We are here for you!
