We separate outside clothes from home clothes. The idea of going into bed with clothes I wore on public transport and uni makes me gag
Me too! I have my "going out" clothes and my "at home" clothes separate. I tend to wash my going out clothes every time after I wear them too.
And I use sanitiser after touching any doorhandles of shops, do you?

I don’t use as much sanitiser as I used to, still use it though. I’ve been trying to normalise, but I probably am still one of those few people who carries around sanitiser

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?
@creative_writer Yes, I have a rack where I hang my "going out" clothes too if I don't wash them. Mostly I wash them, but not always - it depends how high my triggers are.
I have lots of sanitiser in my bag and car and house. I also still wear masks while shopping too.
Do you wear masks in the bus?

Re: Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?
I was literally the only person I saw the other evening during a social event sanitiser. My family did ask for some of my sanitiser though. I didn’t want to eat without first sanitising my hands because it felt gross otherwise. I know other people probably don’t care.
I used to wear mask on public transport but would end up nauseous, so I had to give it up. The mask wearing while travelling can make me feel migrainey and nauseous

Ah yes, that makes sense, although I'm sorry to hear @creative_writer .
I think it's basic hygiene to wash hands or sanitise hands before we eat.

@Shaz51 @NatureLover @creative_writer @Dimity
coming down from a bout of anxiety due to work over last 2 weeks. some personal stuff as well. I promised myself I would have a quiet weekend with self care. I hope i can prevail. I will start with pancakes for breakfast. cheap and easy.
