Hi @Pippyl , so sorry to hear about your intense suffering with the germophobia 😞

I also fear germs carried through heating and aircon. And I guess wind too, as I couldn't live near a hospital 😞

I can so relate to this! 😞 It's one reason why things pile up in my home.

I'm so desperate to be cured I can't function I'm in bed all day because the compulsions are too much.

I don't want to be like this I resist help because of fear of germs but I really need help it's so isolating. despite all the trauma I've been through I feel this is the most difficult thing to overcome I don't know how to win. I've researched I've accepted it I've worked on trauma just gets worse.

I'm just so sorry to hear 😞 

What does your regular psych say? 

Sending virtual hugs...
