Thanks gals/guys, im going to start by calling the gp next week and stop washing my hands so much for a start, im starting to realise how illogical it is and how much it is ruling my life, i will probably feel unclean after only using a little bit of soap instead of a lot but im fed up of this to be honest, my blistered hands are fed up too. Thinking about it my obsessiveness has ruined a previous relationship i was in and my obsessiveness has driven a woman im infatuated with now away.

thank you for the replies, sorry for the multiple posts.

I know it doesnt make sense and i wash my hands so much that its impossible that there is no chance of it, but i still do it, and i have other habits like switching light switches on and off until it feels right, but i havent done that in a while. strange thing is im not so obessesive in other departments like for example washing my hands before preparing food, though i am obsessed with getting details right on things. Im not sure where this all came from, i did not use to be like this, i have had depression in the past too maybe its from that

Ok ill try and deal with this on my own, sorry for bothering you.

No one has a solution? was it a bit innapropiate? i obsess about other thing too like checking emails etc to see if friends replied every couple of minutes, always thinking about one subject all day like clothes for example, please help if you can.

This has been ruling my life for years, first example is when i was my hands after walking the dog, i have to use exactly 4 squirts of hand soap on my hands and if some falls in the sink before i rub it into my skin i have to rinse my hands then use 4 squirts of soap again then rub the soap into my hands for a good 2 minutes at least, im scared if i don't do this my clothes etc will get damaged from not washing my hands correctly after picking up the poop Second example is after choking the chicken( you all know what i really mean), i am terrified i will get semen on my clothes if i dont go through the same process as above, and i usually rub the soap into my hands for a good 3 minutes more, and even afterwards if i have done the procedure correctly im still scared i will have residue on my hands and will still get it on my clothes. Im not really concerned with germs etc. I really want this to end, i have only only used 1 squirt before and washed my hands for perhaps 1 minute but i fall back into the same routine after about 2 days, my hands get very painful and bleed and my family wonders where the soap goes and they complain. Ive never been diagnosed with ocd but im thinking perhaps i have it.
