Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I see your problem. OCD is common in simpler terms. Every person has some compulsive behavior and they carry them throughout their life. What you should understand is OCD is certainly curable.

Washing hands over and over is due to the hygiene sense you have developed. Such a behavior is not bad unless it hinders your normal activity. Such behavior goes on only when you do not have any other activities. Fare enough, that means, keeping yourself busy and ignoring the behavior, more or less, can reduce the incidents. Over and above, do not worry about your obsessions. Take them as just part of life.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
