Hi all
My name is Dean , I'm 34 and live in Australia.I'm new to these forums and will try and see if i can help myself sort myself out.If i don't see any improvement i will then seek medical advice/help as well.
I seem to suffer from a few conditions and really cant label which one is the worst as they all tie within one another.I feel by even just chatting here about myself i maybe able help myself to a better road to recovery.
I suffer from :The fear of getting infected or been infected and infecting others , i have a phobia of needles/syringes and am fearful i will step on one or touch one and in hence get infected .I'm not keen on seeing blood and am worried that when i touch an item or box ect , that it has blood spots or dry blood on it.
I wash my hands many times a day to keep dirt/germs ect off so i can be as clean as possible.If i get a small cut on my finger or hands ect , i need to cover with band aids ect as quick as possible to remain clean.I cant bring myself to share plates/cups/forks with anybody else (family or friends) and will have all my own plates ,forks ,cups ect in a separate draw for use.I cant walk on the beach , long grass , alley ways , around bins , dark streets at night for the fear of stepping on a needle/syringe.
I barely ever go out anymore stay home most of the time , and have very few friends left.The friends i do have left invite me to there home but i always decline in fear i have something that i will pass onto them/there family members.
As you can see I'm pretty screwed up and i know i need help.I'm hoping by starting here i can start to deal with this all and see what happens.
Thanks for reading.
