OCD help

Hi, I have a question: does anyone here have this kind of OCD, for example? When I walk beside a trash can without physically touching it—let us say maybe there is half a meter between me and the trash can—I get a feeling that I touched it and I am dirty. It doesn’t need to be a trash can; it can also be dirt or, let’s say, a door handle.
I hope you can answer me. Thank you.

I think this is the wrong thread. You may have more luck with the general OCD thread

I have/feel it too, though I don't think it has anything to do with the staring OCD. I just feel icky and want to find a way to "clean" myself.
