Well, a person who THINKS they are always sick is called a hypochondriac!.!.!.what you'd call it if you are AFRAID of getting sick, I don't know!. But you do DEFINITELY need to seek help!. If you are afraid to go home, that's really really bad!. I am in NO WAY saying you are coo-koo, but please seek help before it turns worse!. An irrational fear of people because of their germs will only limit EVERYTHING in your life!. I don't know how old you are, but it will effect going to school, work, falling in love, EVERYTHING!. This sounds almost as debilitating as agoraphobia, which is a fear of leaving your house!.
I'll keep you in my prayers, and I hope you get better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You say that you have a type of phobia already!. Are you currently on meds!. for this!? If so then you need to go to your physiologist and see if there are other meds!. you can take for this OCD(obsession compulsive disorder)!.
To ease you mind always carry a purse size bottle of hand sanitizer to make yourself feel much better about getting something from others!.
