OMG,  I read your blog and started crying.  This has happened to me so many times.  I know how frustrating it is.  I know most people with OCD has to do with germs, mine doesn't, but everything that falls on the floor bothers me.  It becomes dirty (for lack of a better word) to me and if it is something I need I have to wash it.  I didn't know if others were bothered with things falling on the ground.  I am about to start cognitive therapy and I am scared to death.

That's happened to me more times than I care to remember. One thing you can do to ease this kind of torment is to remain very calm when it happens.  It's NOT the end of anything.  Big deal!  So what!  They're just clothes and you can wear them and be just fine and then they'll be washed again.  

If you're not at that point just yet, then look at the clothes and see just where they fell.  Was it on a particularly, for-real dirty area or just on the carpet?  

What I'd do in the not-long-ago past is just take the clothes from the topmost part and dump them on the bed.  Then take the clothes from the bottom of the heap and put them in the hamper.  

If it happened now, I'd swiftly pick them up, shake them a little, then put them away.  I may wash my hands quickly afterward, though.  But I'd still wear them.
