Psychologist,  's  Response
Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I sincerely suggest you to consult a psychologist. From the symptoms, you gave, you are also suffering from OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Under the influence of OCD, you are imagining the smell. You are not a cleanliness loving person any more. That scenario is over and you have changed into a person who obsesses with cleanliness. That is the main symptom of OCD.

Suicidal tendency is also part of it. In actuality, you are imagining the smell and uncleanliness. This behavior is fatal without medicines. Please consult a psychiatrist soon.

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.
