Hello,

Which country are you living in? If you can visit a doctor, then you should do that. I say this because it is evident to me that you have strong OCD symptoms. I have an official OCD diagnosis, and I understand each of your points 1, 2, and 3. To be honest, I do very similar things in my own life. For example, I also frequently wash my bed-sheets and clothes; and I clean my keyboard with 'solvent'. Sometimes, I have more than 2 showers per day. I remember one day in the past when I had 6 showers in one day.

You can get help for this, but ideally it should be professional help. I received therapy (cognitive behavioural therapy [CBT] for my symptoms).

Take care,
Kevin

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is about changing your habits. Considering/because OCD is mostly about being 'stuck' in certain bad habits, CBT is the ideal form of therapy for it. All that you must do now is make an appointment with your doctor. Then, he/she will refer/send you to a different doctor (probably a psychologist, therapist, or psychiatrist).
