I have self diagnosed OCD, I think it's fairly safe to assume since the backs of my hands have become so dry and worn out through washing that they are cracking and bleeding.

It's caused by a faulty trigger in the brain that fails to activate when you complete a task. So you never feel you have washed your hands enough or whatever it is and it always bothers you even though you know it is absurd. This goes on to thoughts as well, you always doubt and lie to yourself to become your own worst enemy. If the sky is blue and you know it's blue you will doubt it over and over and keep trying to prove that it's blue and find evidence that it's blue(this is just an example not to be taken literally), if you like something you will keep telling yourself that you don't or vice versa. Your thoughts are always fighting against you, you know it's absurd but you can't help it, you can't stop making connections, you can't stop doubting obvious facts and checking them over and over even if you can see the evidence in front of you. OCD has been linked with schizophrenia and Autism(I was diagnosed with the latter) I can see how they connect, like they are three sides of the same coin.
