Looking for some input with those who have or currently suffer with OCD, more specifically germphobia. I have always had some issue with it to some extent, but for the past half a year it has completely dominated my life.

I am currently obsessed with toxo gondii and feel that my floor which is carpeted is contaminated with it because my neighour with 4 cats walked in one day, so if I drop anything on the floor, or if I feel that anything comes into contact with that, I have to wash my hands/my body/any clothing item, also the bottom of my bed is a no go zone, so say if I accidently sit on the bed bottom of the bed without thought my clothes have to come off, I also have issues with my hands in the main building as you have to press a button to get out, so I feel that my hand are contaminated when I'm outside so I can only use the parts of my hands that I feel haven't come into contact which can be hard, I mean shit I can't even use my phone now without having to wash my hands afterwards and I can't even explain that one.

There are no go zones in my appartment, there are areas that I deem to be dirty no matter how much I clean them, I haven't even been able to access my balcony in this hot weather because a bird shat just inside the doorway, it just goes on and on. I can't even take my socks off at night to lay in bed without having to scrub my hands.

I have been to a shrink over this, they prescribed me anti-psychotics which I refuse to take, I think that is pretty much overkill, so I want to take this into my own hands.
