Hey I know you are super stressed I'll try to simplify it for you sounds like symptoms of Contamination OCD as we say Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder where the brain gives you false alarms about dirt, germs, or uncleanliness. That’s why you feel the urge to sanitize constantly, cover up in public transport, avoid restrooms, and even feel sensations like “something crawling” when your brain interprets normal touch as contamination. Think of it like this: your brain has a germ magnifying glass that zooms in on every possible contamination risk, making it feel 10 times bigger than it really is. At home, where you feel in control, the alarm calms down but in uncertain places like hotels, restaurants, or public transport, the alarm goes off. The good news is OCD is treatable through therapy (like CBT with Exposure and Response Prevention) and, if needed, medicines. You’re not “dirty” or “weird” your brain’s alarm system is just oversensitive, and with the right treatment, it can be reset. Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

Hello ma'am The issues you explained can be Obsessive Compulsive But doesn't seem to be at Disorder level, can be your normal personality also That is, it isn't yet a serious illness and you have raised this issue at the right time Good thing is this issue can be resolved with counselling/ therapy and also only if required a small dose of some medicines for a very brief period of time to get a faster recovery from above issue

What you describe looks a lot like obsessive compulsive disorder, but we need a detailed history to diagnose it as a disorder
