I am certain i have OCD but it only has to do with specific people who happen to be my parents..i am an adult and have moved out many years ago but i cannot be around them, just talk to them on the phone, family thinks i stay away because i am a jerk, well except i have told my parents i have this problem..but i feel as they are contaminated or being around them and touching the same things they do will in turn ruin my stuff or ruin me and i will have to take a shower and wash my clothes after being around them, and even then i still feel like i am not certain that i got rid of all of the 'contamination' i dont know if it is because they were overbearing when i was younger and i am associating their 'control' with contamination and want to live in a world where i am in control of myself and they cannot interfere..it has put a strain on me in a lot of situations...even something 6 degrees from them would bother me, like something that they touched once came into contact with something that touched something else that i happened to be around . i cannot even receive a letter in the mail from them without considering it to be highly contaminated. i would rather touch dirt and garbage with my bare hands than something that has an association with them...anyone else experience this or have any insight?
