I'm OCD

Don't judge me because of this.

So I found out I'm OCD.. You NEVER touch my hands PERIOD.. Unless I see you wash or sanitize your first don't touch my hands! My touch my hands with my face.. Sometimes when I'm really annoyed I bite my nails.. So never ever ever touch my hands. I never realized it until someone told me I was OCD and then I started reading into it and I am.. Along with my Dr saying I am also. Then we realized my 3.5 year old is also OCD.. The things she does she has to do 5-6 times before its "right".. But with me I just wash my hands and sanitize my hands all the time!

When me adn my husband started talking about it I realized how long I have been like this. My Dad used to make me rub his feet.. I would gag the whole time and then wash my hand 12 different times until they felt clean.. Which they never did and I would keep washing them repeatedly. If I ever touch a bug I would have to wash my hands.. If a fly touches me or lands on my food or drink.. I will not touch them again they go into the trash can. And then I wash my hands over and over again!

The other day I had to shake one of my husbands NCO's hands and I didn't want to be rude and jump up and wash my hands.. So I sat there without any hand sanitizer.. I thought I was going to throw up. I washed my hands 7 times after he left..

So we have decided that the next time I have to go to a unit function or whatever and have to meet and shake hands.. I will just tell them I'm OCD and I can't shake someone hand without knowing/SEEING they have washed or sanitized them! And I wont say it in a rude way but I will be honest about it. Because I really don't think these people want me to puke on them because I probably will!

So anyways the husband and I are trying to find some humor in this. Because if I don't then I will get upset about it.. So hubby and I have been joking about it saying he can't touch me or whatever because of my OCD! ha

So whooop go me I'm OCD! haha
