Thanks. I do have Luminosity on my phone, along with games, but I usually can't play them during class when this happens. I need to work, but I can't work until my hands are clean. I haven't had the urge to clean my hands lately. I don't know. I usually get this in episodes with other types of OCD switching all the time. Thanks for the response [emoji4] .
