Omg I have that problem when I go #2 as well. For some reason it’s something that only developed in like the last couple years. I use so many wipes and toilet paper. It makes me dread having to poop. Also same with hands being contaminated after washing down there which is another thing that developed pretty recently. I don’t see myself ever growing out of those things but I hope I can bc it can become maddening :(

I do the exact same thing. Something I’ve noticed helps me is accepting cleaning things well enough. The important part is to remember that people aren’t supposed to live in sterile environments, with zero germs. Just clean well enough, for your comfort and for what is practical. For example, when my room starts to feel unorganized and unclean, I don’t need to disinfect every object and wipe down every surface. Most of the time I just need to reorganize a few spots in my room, and then I’m good (obviously I don’t feel good only cleaning this amount, but I have to stop myself from overdoing the cleaning before I tire myself out). You can also look online for reliable information so your habits don’t become excessive. For example, I struggle with taking really long showers because I feel like I can never get the germs off my body no matter how much I scrub. I looked online at Mayo Clinic, and the recommended shower time is 5-10 minutes, so I’ve slowly been working to minimize my shower time to 10-15 minutes (knowing 5-10 minutes is a little too impractical for my OCD and comfort, and 10-15 minutes won’t affect my life negatively). I don’t know if this made much sense, but I hope it helped!
