So I have mysophobia which is fear of bacteria and contamination. It has caused me to keep my distance from other people and has given me a lot of unhealthy habits.

That sounds pretty stressful, what sort of habits do they cause?

I wash my hands constantly which has caused my skin to dry and wear out. So my hands are covered in painful wounds because I scrub them so often. I feel extremely anxious in public places and I dont feel comfortable inviting people to my house which has caused me to stay out of social situations.
