I mentioned it in my introduction but now that I'm on the subforum I thought I'd go into more detail as an introduction on this part of it.

The main thing I deal with is germophobia. I wash my hands all the time and won't dry them with the towel because the towel could have something on it. As a result my hands are really dry and chapped. I also won't eat chicken because I'm afraid of salmonella, won't eat the shredded lettuce that we get because the company recenly recalled salads for ecoli. If I eat hamburger, I practically burn it to make sure that there is no chance of any bacteria remaining. The fork can't be on the table because it could be contaminated with something. I also rinse off all my pop cans because I don't know what might be on them. I also am always carrying around a thermometer to make sure that I don't have a fever. I also won't finish a drink if somebody has a drink out of my glass and I have my own stash of snacks in my room so that I know that nobody is reaching in with hands that haven't been washed.

I also have a little bit of counting and checking. I will recheck that the lights on the car are off probably half a dozen times and I check my alarm a few times before I go to bed. I also have to recheck the freezer door to make sure it is shut properly. As far as the counting goes, when i put on my deodorant it is always 10 and when I'm blowdrying my hair I count to 60 then switch sides.

This kind of gives you an idea of mine and I look forward to helping each other out as we try to conquer this.
