Second hand vaping and OCD
So i’ve dealt with this for a few years now. Whenever I am around someone who is vaping, or more extremely, someone who has vaped, I freak out massively. My room is like my safe haven and any time I come home from being around people who have vaped EVERYTHING on my being must be washed and cleaned and 100% blitzed. Just today, someone who I know vapes often, touched my headphones and now I want to throw them away and never use them again (cannot put headphones in the washing machine). The smell disgusts me but TBH i’m not even sure what sets it off fully? It’s something about the sticky chemically grossness of it and how it affects the human body I guess? I won’t even bring certain things with me when going out just to avoid having them be tainted possibly. I need help overcome this as I think it’s ruining my life to some extent. I can’t keep running away from people walking near me vaping and spending money on new stuff to purify it or washing my clothes every time a vaper touches me… :(
