Is there a phoebia name for the fear of germs? I am just wondering because that seems the phoebia that I struggle with. I have this great fear of getting germs for seats, walking into a place that I do not feel is clean, being around someone sick (heaven for bid is someone sneezes around I get a panic attack), a fear of my pets bringing germs in from outside, I have to put sanitizer on my hands after touching a door or something I think might have germs, also I have a complusion to wash my hands many times. I will wash them even after picking up a milk gallon out of the fridge, I have to be clean to fold laundry, and certain things for me are done certain ways. If the cat box needs cleaning I have immediately wash my hands and to top it off shower and make sure my clothes are clean.

Oh my goodness and that is just part of it. I wish it would just leave, pack up and go away. I hate it. It interfers with my daily life. Oh wait I do not have one, between the fear of germs, the OCD, depression, and much more. I know I sound like a complete nut. GOD help me...
