OCD germ phobia’s and toilets.
With OCD I struggle greatly using toilets both public and private, it rates highest on my germ phobia hierarchy, I would like to here how other people deal with this issue, I myself shower a lot as a result after battling through the need to relieve one’s self, I literally have instant peaks of anxiety with fear and avoidance that even at times physically restricts my ability to go to the toilet whilst at all times on high alert not to come in contact with any and all surfaces of the bathroom/toilet and absolutely not allowing any possibility of cross contamination prior to washing my hands incessantly.
