I am a germa-phobic mom of three. It is an everyday struggle for me full of anxiety, stress, cleaning and hand washing. It makes me feel like a crazy person. Am I the only one like this?

I am only a germaphobe out in the world. Not at home. I started realizing things were gross after my friend admitted she had some ocd like tendencies, and then I got pretty bad when my little one was born very premature. I was so worried about him getting sick that hand sanitizer had become one of my best friends. I had to change my clothes before I walked more than a couple steps into the apartment. I’ve loosened up on it but I still wash my hands like crazy and use shopping cart wipes.

My phobia started when I was pregnant with my first child because I was so scared that I was going to lose my baby is someway. All three of my children are healthy but I still can’t get a break from the anxiety that germs give me on a daily basis.

I believe it is common. I have a degree in biology with a minor in microbiology. I don’t want to say anything unsettling... but bacteria is ubiquitous and only a small portion of it is pathogenic. I never understood the “germaphobic” mindset. I’m sorry it’s so stressful for you.

@flamingomom, no I haven’t. I already feel like a crazy person, I just feel like they will make me feel even crazier. Or try to put me on medication and I don’t want that.

@the.snuggle.is.real, if you have the resources, I think you should look into it. No mental health professional should make you feel “crazy.” Their goal is to teach you coping mechanisms and be an outlet for your concerns. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

For me it is not the germs but more of the mess.

I feel like I’m always cleaning up messes because of the anxiety of germs that are or not there.

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

Am I wrong to be upset? Last night I was running a fever, weak, tired, sore, my left boob feels like it got used as a punching bag. I asked my husband to call out of work today to help me with the kid so I could get some rest. He went to work. I texted him this morning. Part of me thinks I mean. The other part of me thinks I was fine for saying that because he should've stayed home with us.
