Hi guys i have an obsession with germs and washing my hands and its starting to
effect me by making rashes on my hands and making them sting, it's getting bad now as
i'm washing my hands , then washing my hands again because i've touched a tap.
For example i went the cinema with my girlfriend
If my girlfriend didn't wash her hands at the cinema about 2 days ago ago after going
the toilet due to the ammount of people who get urine on their hands or fall over or
touch the seat in public toilets, and she didnt actually sit on the seat (To avoid
herpies) and she touched my phone, would the germs be on my phone, i have a sorta
condition atm where i keep washing my hands all the time and i'd like to get out of
this habbit.
So if i touch my phone then say scratch my balls or something, would i get herpies or
any other type of harmful bacteria? I've also wiped down my phone with a baby wipe
Also to anyone to answer, should i go to a doctor? I think i've got a condition where
im out of control, i'll say for example touch my phone then have to wash my hands
because i don't want to touch my computer mouse incase i touch my face or scratch my
genitals or something like that. It's really starting to bother me, i've washed my
hands so much in the past few days that they are getting dry and have red rashes on
them that sting :/
It's really bothering me as everytime ive touched my phone today i've gone up and
scrubbed my hands with soap, now they're starting to get chapped i think? all red and
stingy and dry.
Seriously, i need to stop being so afraid of germs and bacteria, i don't know why im
like this as i never used to be like this apart from when i was a kid but i just got
over it, i think it was something about a science class when i was in school and we
grew bacteria and the science teacher said it could grow anything in there and it
could be harmful so it had to stay in containers..
Either way i'm washing my hands way to much and worrying about stuff.
E.g i'll go wash my hands, then wash them again because i've touched the tap or
something, sometimes i can wash my hands lots of times per hour.
I need help please!
