I wash my hands many, many times a day.
I constantly think that my hands are dirty & things I touch are dirty.
I was my hands so much that they get red and raw looking.

I'm just paranoid about things being clean, I also sometimes check to make sure the doors are locked more than I need to.

I've told people I know about it.
They all seem to think that it's all in my head and that I can stop, I just choose not to.
But I can't stop these thoughts that my hands and other things are dirty.

Now, I don't want to tell anyone else about it..not even my doctor. I think that people are going to think I'm crazy or something..even though, other than these odd obsessions, I'm completely normal.

I don't know, can anyone give me their opinion?
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.
