Hi, I have to get rid of some mildew around my windows today.
I have OCD and especially have a fear of chemicals
I want to use the Dettol mould and mildew remover (spray in the green bottle) to get rid of it, as that is what DH uses, and because I'm scared of it, I need to face my fear to move forwards.
My therapist has suggested that I do a general survey to see what people without OCD do in situations and to compare my response as part of my recovery.
So - if you were squirting stuff with Dettol mould and mildew remover, would you change your clothes afterwards? My obsessive thoughts are that some of the spray will get onto my clothes, I'll hug my daughter later, and she'll inadvertantly swallow some of the residue. However, I don't want to be indulging in OCD behaviour (changing and washing my clothes/showering) - if it is abnormal behaviour.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer :)
