I remember having fears of contamination at the age of 6 or 7. I remember feeling scared that I would get something on my hands and washed my hands until they turned raw. I also was afraid to touch door knobs because I thought I would get something on my hands. I was afraid to tell anyone because I thought I would get into trouble.
I started having disturbing obsessive thoughts about stuff I saw on the news. This happened after I got pregnant. I stopped watching the news after that and kept obsessing about the stuff I saw on the news for several years. But, I think that the mental health workers got confused about that. I told my psychiatrist about it and said I didn't think little kids needed medication.
