Does anybody have any tips on how to cope with contamination OCD?

A family member is staying over and he won't leave (I live at home so I don't get a say in it).

I haven't eaten for an entire day even though I'm hungry as fuck (I feel physically ill due to contamination fears).

I don't know how much longer he's going to be here for, but I've just been isolating myself in my room because I feel nauseous and disgusting every time I leave my room. Can't even use my own bathroom anymore either.

Please help :(

This is probably stating the obvious, but can you buy easy food that you can keep in your room for a few days? And antiseptic wipes to clean handles etc in the bathroom before use?

Do your family know how hard this is for you?
