Are you a black American? They usually have this complex to measure up, or even exceed Caucasians in all areas. Mostly it results in OCD.

I can help you. PM me for a free 10min energy healing session.

Perhaps, the best way to get over it is to play in the dirt, make mud pies. Try and wear your clothes for two hours at first. There are the the wet butt wipes for grown ups you know, just a wipe or two and you don't go around smelling like ass. lol If you're at home, take a quick shower, if you feel you need too.

I have the a simalar problem with dirt, for another reason. A parasite infection, I still struggle with the mental aspects of it. When I see my husband pet his dog and go to bed, without washing his hands, his chances of getting laid are zip.

There is mass amounts of information about diet and ADHD on the internet. Perhaps you should google it. Most of all realize what happened to you as a child was not your fault. No longer give it any power of your life.

All right...you're listing a bunch of labels that are intended to either explain or excuse your behaviors. What I would strongly urge is that you involve yourself with a counselor/therapist that specifically addresses sexual abuse.

You mentioned that you began your healing process some years ago, but I beg to differ. Rather, you discovered that you had been horribly abused and your constant cleansing, feeling dirty, and attempts to "wash away" perceived grime is a screaming symptom of your experiences. The act of washing, itself, is a physical attempt to comply with the emotional trauma of having been horribly violated, especially when you had no control over what your abuser subjected you to. It is not uncommon for rape victims to immediately wash away evidence of the crime that was perpetrated against them. And, it is not uncommon for victims of sexual abuse as children to have the same reaction, later in their lives - the mind is trying to work itself around the events and, without assistance and guidance, it's doing the only thing that it knows that it can. Additionally, "cleansing" is something over which you have control - the crimes that were perpetrated upon you are not.

I would call my local mental health (I HATE THAT TERM, because it's EMOTIONAL, not MENTAL) referral service and locate a counselor/therapist that is a sexual abuse specialist, make the appointment, and GO. A professional has techniques and tools that will help you to overcome your childhood issues, attend to your present issues, and help you to move through your experiences into a better space. I would also set aside any "diagnoses" of ADHD, borderline personality disorder, etc., until I had about a year of therapy under my belt - sometimes, it takes a good while to have a personal breakthrough, so be patient and do it for your Self (Self is that part of you which makes you unique in the world).

Best wishes to you.
