Question: Is this some kind of OCD or just an outlet for stress!?
About two hours after I shower, I feel disguisting!. I feel dirty, like I need to change my clothes and reshower!. I need to wash my hands a gazillion times and by the end of the day, if I dont shower, it becomes the only thing I can think of!.
Ive also become a germaphobe and keep my room immaculately clean!. If there is one fiber on the rug out of place, I vaccuum the whole room!.
Ive recently been under a LOT of emotional stress, I lost my best friend of 15+ years a year ago and Im still not over it!. Could this be an outlet for all my stress!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

OCD is a type of anxiety disorder, and these are OFTEN preceded by the death of a loved on!. When you lose a loved one, it can disrupt your whole feeling of security and your sense of control over the world!. So often, we try to exert control in other ways!.!.!.!.!.!.like refusing to let your room get dirty, or refusing to let germs get on your hands!. That sort of behavior becomes like a security blanket to us, even though we can find it quite annoying at times!.
Work on trying to take control of your life in other, more positive ways, and deal with the death of your loved one, and your obsessions and compulsions should improve!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I myself have ODC and i think that you might have it, there are a lot of different things a person with OCD does, different rituals and the whole germaphobe thing sound a lot like what a person with OCD does!. Your losing your best friend might have been something that triggered it!. I suggest you see your doctor and let him diagnose what is wrong with you, best of luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Stress could very well be causing this behavior!. My OCD is odd as I have to go around the house every time I leave and before I go to bed, I check the locks, not once but 4-5 times, I have done it since I was a kid!. Sometimes I will get up after I am in bed just to check it in!.
I would suggest a doctor to help with this behavior!. Perhaps you need a counselor you can work with, just to get you over the "hump" towards healing!. Good LuckWww@Answer-Health@Com

I also have OCD!. Mine is the opposite!. I can't touch anything dirty and water actually seems like it is hurting my skin!. I have delt with this for many years!. I'm now 50!. I shower every 2 days and put on gloves to do housework!. I am allergic to many things!. I have wondered if growing up this way may have given me these fears!. I'm sorry to hear about your friend!.
