Is this some kind of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?
At the age of seven I got food poisoning from eating old rice that my less than responsible sister warmed up in the microwave for me to eat.I ended up sick for one whole week and spent two days in the hospital. Ever since then I had a fear of getting sick and going too close to strange people. Sometimes I fear taking my children to theme parks, carnivals or fairs, and to big shopping places because i fear that they will get sick. Even if food is one day past due i'll throw it out. If one vegetable is tainted i'll inspect the rest of food in the fridge. If I see tainted food at grocery store or if the store is dirty I never shop there again. My fear of getting sick causes me to be very picky with food, so I chose not to eat at other people's houses or let others cook for me and my family. I fear my kids eating school lunch so let them bring their own lunch. I also have an obsession with pictures this began when my mom had to throw away our old family album with all our pictures away because it damaged by hot water. Ever since then if I see pictures that are wrinkled, crumbled or torn I get the urge to want to straighten it out, I once used a iron to straighten out a picture of 3 year old daughter that got bent. I feel like I need help, and I feel like this could be OCD
