I know it only through empathy, and a very mild sense of it myself. But I truly feel for you.
wat is this about
i think it’s about OCD or maybe a phobia
I have agoraphobia, and it’s hard to reach for the doorknob.
I have mysophobia (fear of germs) and I can’t touch door knobs, ever. I use a tissue or the sleeve of my sweater if I have to.
So, maybe, fear of germs?
it’s called severe depression… i am exactly the same way… people have no idea…
I remember feeling this way. Not because I was afraid of the outside world, but because I was afraid of the “person” who is still out there somewhere.
I face this feeling every single day…unfortunately its won every time lately.
everyone always says “oh im so OCD about that stuff” and it usually is something that has to do with organization. and its something small enough that it doesnt matter.
when i tell people i spend up to 2 hours in the shower washing my hair over and over with shampoo and then over and over with conditioner, they think im a freak. i feel like no one understands what OCD actually is.

i too am OCD and it is a true struggle to touch anything. i feel for this person.

I feel like this after 2 days of binge drinking.
I understand this, I’m Bipolar, and it feels like I’m the only one in the world, but you must realize that you can’t say something like this. Millions of people experience this exact same thing everyday.
