I want to have perfectly clean hands!

[ShankerParticipant]

Hi everyone; does anyone else have this ocd thing where you think “I always want to have perfectly clean hands.”  I’m thinking about it now, and feel I’ll never get over it. But this is just so stressful for me. I wash my hands ALL the time, it’s just like there’s no way to avoid it. This has been my life for years and years. I feel anxious all the time, and now I’ve got it to the stage where seems can’t do anything without washing my hands. Anyone have any advice, please??
