Same but I feel like it's not really a bad thing because phones actually are so dirty

Yes did this with my phone I like to keep my tech in mint condition the problem is you end up being miserable and not enjoying it. I did this with my laptop too. And it had to be perfect. Id take the flashlight on the phone and shine it on the LCD to make sure not one speck of dust or streak was on the screen. You gotta stop. Tell yourself you're gonna take your microfiber wipe it quikly once a day and you're done. You're gonna always have some prints on your nice iPhone screen so what?

karter the alcohol in the hand sanitizer is ruining your screen...ignore the clickbait articles phones aren't that dirty you aren't going to die from not cleaning your phone for a few weeks. Quick wipe with a microfiber cloth everyday and every couple of weeks maybe a few squirts of anti-static screen cleaner that doesnt have alcohol or ammonia in it for screen and case. I like how we're combining OCD and tech talk.

my ocd is controlling my life. I can’t stop washing my hands and I always think they have to be clean before I go anywhere or else my whole day will be ruined. I hate the thought of being unclean and I don’t want to spread germs. I wash my hands even when I don’t have to. Anyone have any advice please?

i have really bad contamination ocd and i can honestly get through my days without panic attacks but it always requires that i have hand sanitizer, wet wipes and access to wash my hands and be able to shower afterwards. i’m feeling like there’s no hope because i can get through the days okay and i try not to let other people know about it because i deal with it all privately but i’m afraid i’ll never be able to stop with all of the cleaning throughout the day. does anyone have tips to stop cleaning their hands or anywhere that may have gotten “dirty” or anything like that? thank you (:

Cleaning obsession
I am obsessed with cleaning, I will clean even when the house is clean. It's not that I am worried about getting sick. It just makes me feel better to have everything perfect, clean and in its place. This is effecting others in the house though because I get frustrated if someone comes in with their shoes on and brings a tiny bit of dirt in. Or if my partner doesn't leave areas clean the way i do. I also feel like it effects my child because I can't bare mess, when she gets toys out I feel like I'm tidying as she is playing. I must clean 3 times a day and sometimes I can't leave the house without doing certain chores. Or it plays on my mind all day. Its frustrating, I feel burnt out because I never stop
