I have OCD, I feel like it could be classified as mild or manageable, but I really struggle with some hypochondria stuff. What I’m wondering about is some thoughts/feelings about my 5 year old son, in my head he is showing some signs of contamination OCD himself. He can’t eat near cats, cat food, flys, and few other things. If he’s near cats or cat food he starts gagging and is convinced that the cat food is on his food or himself. And with flys, if he’s near cats sees one (or thinks about one) he’s convinced it’s going to land on his food or hide in his food and he’s going to eat it. So I’m wondering if these seem like real concerns for ocd or if I’m letting my hypochondria seep into my parenting?
