Hi. : Hi. Worrying about contracting germs can really impact a person's life. There is a possibility that you could have an obsessive compulsive disorder. If you do, you would likely need a comprehensive evaluation by a psychologist or a psychiatrist. It is a very treatable condition both through medication and therapies like behavior modification or cognitive behavioral therapy. I hope that you do get professional help so that you can start enjoying life again.
