I'm really scared!! Help with my fears of disease?

Question

Okay so as I'm getting older I'm becoming more aware of all the deadly diseases and I'm realizing that this world is really scary and well I'm really scared and I don't know what to do. I'm know what things like HIV are and how even though it's an STD you can still get it from dirty needles, blood transfusions with unclean blood, and getting scratched or bitten by someone who has it. And now I'm almost afraid of people and almost viewing them as dirty. I don't want to be like this! The world is full of people and not everyone is filthy and I'm a person to so I'm no cleanlier so I think I really need help and I can't stress enough how SCARED I am please someone help!!!

Answer 1

It sounds like you have obsessive disorder, have you looked into this?

Answer 2

A good practice is to wash your hands before you eat, after using the bathroom and when you get home from being out.  

I think of all the germs on the trains and buses I ride.  Being a little concerned helps us remember to wash our hands.  Being too concerned can cause you to have too much anxiety.  If you think you are overly worried, get some help.  Best Wishes to you.
