I'm new to this whole forum thing, but I hope it will help me to talk about my problem with others who may be able to understand. I am a total germaphobe. Doing things like going to the bathroom or putting in a load of dirty laundry have become overtly time-consuming and lamentable tasks. I find myself cleaning my bathroom floor all the time, cleaning and re-cleaning things that probably don't look much different than when I first started. I also am very obsessive about hand-washing. I often wash my hands and arms up to my elbows just to be sure I got all the germs. I also change my clothes more often than normal people and am just overall paranoid about spreading the germs from my own body. It's hard to find others who empathize with my situation. Has anyone else suffered any similar symptoms?
