Unrealistic Realities

So I have developed a germ phobia, kind of a little OCD. The weird thing about it, is I am not scared of the germs affecting me but I am terrified of me being the cause of someone getting sick. Now in all reality these things won't hurt people but deep down inside me there is this little voice that tells me I have to tell someone things I've touched, or clean things I have touched so they don't get the germs that were on my hands!?!

For exam I hate opening the washer after the clothes are clean, because I feel like my hands were dirty when I opened it, so now when I open it again I will pick up the germs and then the clothes will be dirty again. Or if I touch my bag that goes to work, then everything I touch after that is contaminated. And sitting on the bus I feel like any part of my body that touches anything is gross and dirty and I need to tell Farron if I touch anything afterwards with these parts. Or if my purse that touched the ground/floor touches my pants then I am filthy. And the list goes on and on.

And at work it is ten times worse, I can not graze a surface with my pant leg, top, arm, or hand or anything else without feeling like I need to sterilize it. Yesterday I washed my hands so much it looks like I have a burn on my whole hand and it ends right at the glove line, and is completely dried out. In one day I went through 50+ pairs of gloves and at least a whole roll of paper towel.

I am a bit concerned about this obsession. I mean I know these things are true, things are dirty and contaminated, but people have been doing them forever, and not a lot of negative has happened. I haven't heard of too many people dying from opening a washer handle and touching the clean clothes....
