Tw: self harm So I self harm and have done for 4 years, I've tried to stop but it doesn't happen and recently I've found that before I do it I'm getting really paranoid about getting infections and I have to clean that I'm going to use, clean my skin and everything around me and I feel like it's normal to worry about getting an infection but is it normal to need to clean everything. I think it's connected to my ocd because there's other things that I worry about getting ill or infections from.
