Question:

OCD related. help...?

I feel extreme guilt that i might of touched something contaminated in a perverse way, would touching an object that someone might have touched be consider cheating or is it just OCD?


Answers:

The obsessive thoughts get in the way of your daily life. It is unlikely from your account that you have OCD. It causes a remarkable amount of anxiety in a person.

The only one who can diagnose you is a professional, but, here is a good description.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder:
OCD, is an anxiety disorder and is characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Repetitive behaviors such as handwashing, counting, checking, or cleaning are often performed with the hope of preventing obsessive thoughts or making them go away. Performing these so-called "rituals," however, provides only temporary relief, and not performing them markedly increases anxiety.
