Tuppence Middleton feels OCD makes her a selfish mother

Tuppence Middleton has shared that her obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) makes her feel like a "selfish" mother. She struggles to comfort her sick daughter, using bleach and gloves instead of cuddling due to her fear of germs. Middleton, who has emetophobia, experiences anxiety about vomiting. This fear has affected her acting career, particularly during intimate scenes where she worries about co-stars potentially being ill. She now communicates her anxiety to her colleagues more openly. Previously, Middleton felt unable to express her concerns, leading to increased stress. She has since found ways to manage her anxiety while continuing her work in acting, which she acknowledges can be challenging for someone with OCD.
