'I'm so scared of coronavirus I have sex with PPE on'
Melanie, pictured with her boyfriend JoeGrabbing the sheets, I stuff them into a special plastic bag along with pillowcases and towels.
Now my world is upside down. Growing up I wanted everything clean and was a germaphobe. I was constantly washing clothes and my hands.I joined the Royal Air Force cadets in secondary school because I loved the precision in the way they dressed and cleaned. I became a nursing assistant because hospitals are my safe place. I loved the fact they were so clean and cleanliness was critical.Therapy got my OCD under control and I even acted as a mentor to other people with OCD.
We were at it every day and sometimes twice a day. Joe’s very clean too. It drives our housemate bonkers. By the second week of lockdown, a nurse I worked with was diagnosed with coronavirus and I felt unable to breathe. My anxiety attacks worsened and I was terrified of going to work, terrified of germs and terrified for Joe and myself.I cannot even think about sex unless we both shower, use hand sanitiser, specialist disinfectant body wash and disinfected towels before. It total I have spent £1,750 on items.
