I'm a teenager. Suddenly there was a great monotony in my life ... I have almost no reason to move forward, except that I am interested in science, literature, sports. I have long been lonely in terms of relationships. But that's another question. I started to go crazy and cling to some more "non-standard", let's call them, ideas. For example, I suddenly started cleaning the room much more often (and with detergents), I don't touch my face when I'm on the bus, I wash my hands as soon as I get home; I throw away all the clothes I wore on the flights, in the laundry room or on the terrace. I'm horrified at the thought of germs. Especially when I see Roma, I run like that, for no reason, at least 50 meters from them. I wash my hands every 2 seconds when I have dinner because I've touched my jiesema or something. Or something else ... my fear of the paranormal deepened, spirits, aliens. Several evenings in a row, I stood in front of my laptop for up to 2 hours to watch movies related to space. Then, for no reason, I huddled in the chair without moving because I was scared. I squatted for about an hour while taking a bath and going to bed. Sometimes I'm scared, sometimes I'm not. I find myself sometimes dreaming, daydreaming, dreaming with open eyes how if one day, life and health, settles alone in my own apartment, I will clean everything (be it with steam or chemicals), how I will take a bath before entering in the bedroom, how will I keep books, appliances and other bacteria-collecting things in a separate room, etc. And I know that this will not help me to isolate myself from bacteria and pathogens at 100000%, but again ... I dream. It's not right, but ... that's how I fill my time now. : X Any ideas to watch movies related to space. Then, for no reason, I sat huddled in the chair without moving because I was scared.

Idea: To seek help. These are phobias. Go to a psychologist or something.
So ... First forget about bacteria and paranormal phenomena. Bacteria and viruses are all around us, but we have an immune system that prevents them from making us sick. It's good that you've become clean and tidy, but don't overdo it. And as for steam normal phenomena, they are in our brain. These are very natural and elementary things that we cannot explain and that is why we are afraid of them. I recommend you forget about these things and enjoy life. Go out with friends, for coffee, etc .. People like you (and like me: D) with strange and different thinking, are usually good in the arts. For example, music, drawing, singing, writing ... so try to develop into one. I'm sure it will work for you. SUCCESS!
MONK also has this phobia: D
Hello! I'm a girl of 24 and I've been behaving in a similar way lately. I started tidying up at home, when something is out of place I feel an irresistible urge to fix it. I constantly think that my hands are too dirty and I wash them or if there is no water around I often use wet wipes. I'm not afraid of the bacteria themselves, but rather I feel kind of weird if I haven't washed my hands. About paranormal things - and I'm afraid of them. But for me, this fear is caused by reading such literature and watching such movies. If this will calm you down - you are not alone :)
These are obsessive ideas. Why, instead of thinking about how you will do these things in your new home, don't you think that you won't do them? ... It's not such a scary thing, you can control it and eventually get out of this state, but only if you want it. You can control the thought process ... for example, when you feel like washing your hands, tell yourself that there is no need. As he urges you inside to clean the room, tell yourself again that it is clean. There is an accumulated negativity that kills in such a form.
And I'm more or less like that.
1 is right and the others should not talk nonsense! The development of such phobias is caused by a severe mental disorder ... you can't just "go out and forget"! Overcoming such a condition requires very strong will and outside help. 3 mentioned MONK, that's right, and he had these phobias, but he had a governess with him, right? I don't know what exactly is the case, it is not clear why the girl has changed so much, but if she feels that she needs help, there is someone to come. M.
So what is help, 8? In pills ?! Or in meaningless conversations with psychologists who are not interested in you, even after you pay ...? And don't tell people what to say! Everyone has the right to their own opinion and opinion.
The pills are (maybe) 95% meaningless, for psychologists you are right, and they are one of a kind ... The help is given by relatives or friends or relatives. They are the people who are closest and will have closer contact with the person. Yes, everyone has a right to an opinion, but in my opinion, the previous few comments are of the "empty talk" type. "I want a dress -> I'm thinking of something else" happens. But when a person suffers from mental illness, such self-suggestion has no effect ... If it was so easy, the girl would not write at all. And I have fallen into chronic depression and mania, and only the will of my parents, and only a few acquaintances, helped me to overcome more serious crises ... This is my opinion ... M.
Yes, 10. It's good that you got help in a difficult situation. I was also depressed and I came out of it not so much with the help of my relatives ... not that they didn't want to help me, but you know: help yourself so that God can help you too ..... I came out of depression when I made a conscious decision that I would recover. Well, my thought was that if you show a little will and desire to solve your problem, help will come to you. But if you just rely on outside help, you'll get in a lot of trouble. Greetings and I am glad that you have overcome the problem.
Thank you people! In the end, I know I won't get over it, but ... let her be a part of me. : D From the author.
