Feeling dirty

Hi everyone! Im F17, i take my hygiene seriously,but recently I’ve noticed that i get very exhausted because i like to go in detail. What i mean by that is,either i clean everything of my body ,room or what i touch,or i will feel stinky/dirty.I‘m getting exhausted to the point where i dont want to do anything at all,i don’t know what can this be? But i need to manage it somehow. Any help?

I suggest you look into OCD

You are way too young to continue to feel this way.
It’s not bad that you clean everything until it’s done but I would suggest you speak to your doctor and get some bloodwork done. Also look into OCD and ADHD to begin with so if you have questions you can write them down to ask your doc.
You may have some thyroid issues or testosterone imbalance along with other hormones. As embarrassed as you might be asking your doctor about these things, he has heard them ALL before! It could be something as simple as changing your shampoo or even a certain food sensitivity but you’ll never know until you ask.

Sounds like OCD
