My gf thinks she's pregnant because someone touched her butt..

@emi00309, it sounds like the actual issue worrying about pregnancy is resolved. However, the underlying triggers for both of you remain volatile, ready to flare at any time. The unpredictability of that situation must be hard.
At the same time, I find your description of the whole situation very articulate. You appear to be able to see the situation somewhat rationally, even when some of her expressions or beliefs may be irrational and you're feeling worn out and worried.
Your first concern is her immediate wellbeing. Has she found some peace and acceptance that she's okay now that she started her period? How might you focus on your own self care?

Funny enough her period did not stop her from worrying about pregnancy 🙁
It is hard and I feel like I don't know how to cope with it ATM. I can't even get therapy because my insurance keeps screwing me over and being unhelpful.
While I have OCD I can see her OCD very rationally and her triggers realistically which doesn't always help her. And when that doesn't I feel lost and confused. I am tired. I am worn out. She knows this and feels awful and is trying to fix the issue but unfortunately it's not an overnight thing.
She seems to have gotten better because her boyfriend very clearly told her "I did not have sperm on my hand..I would not lie to you about that"but I'm still scared.
