I don’t worry about getting ill. It’s a perfectionism thing meaning my stuff seems spoiled and the germs spread meaning new stuff isn’t clean

But doesn't it seem unreasonable to believe a bin is clean? You keep putting dirty items in it. Surely you put your tins in it? You can wash them out but that won't remove bacteria therefore the bin is tainted.
You may not fear germs in this but you can use the argument that even if something isn't perfect it doesn't mean anything will go wrong.

And yet washing machines are dirty things. Look at al the gunk that builds up in them on those adverts. So it's tainted in that way making these beliefs about toilet germs even more unreasonable.
Do you have to disinfect the outside of the washing machine door when you've just filled it with dirty clothing? Dirty clothing has been on of your worries in the past. If not, again this shows the selective nature of your fears. Whilst you say you don't choose to live in a world of xyz you do choose to look the other way over the many other contamination issues and this should be telling you your thinking is off.

How would you feel if a scribbled on your washer or phone with a permanent marker pen? Or scratched them with a knife? Or chipped them? Would it bother you? Would they be tainted? What if I did the same to the door? Wouldn't this make them less perfect than if I put my hands in your bin then touched them? You can disinfect where my hands went but you can't remove my permanent imperfections.

Phil, if you carry on this way you're going to destroy your relationship. Is it really worth it?
So I have been feeling pretty poor with this cold still. People think as I make work I’m fine but I go right home to bed.
I have no appetite and feel sick after eating how long will this go on? Seems no end to it. Been a week today
