Neat Freak!

For the last, say seven years I have been very much bothered by the presence of dust, particularly dust on my possessions, such as my apartment and car. If I see a bit of dust or any kind of filth for that matter, like fingerprints, anywhere on anything of mine, I must clean it immediately or I will become very uncomfortable or angry. When I say anything, I mean anything, like my TV, computer, kitchen, tables, glass, dressers, all appliances and tools, etc, etc. I have even put a vacuum next to my TV so I can use the ‘tube sucker’ thing to suck in the dust the second they land on the TV. Sometimes when I see dust on the TV that keeps returning, or a spot on the kitchen counter where it is somewhat sticky, I get so angry that I get teary eyed and very emotionally upset. Anyway, my point to all this is that I spend a large majority of my time cleaning. I will not do anything fun at all unless I know there is not a speck of dust on my things. For example, the other night I went out to dinner with my g/f without cleaning, but I did not enjoy myself at all and went home immediately afterwards so I could clean, therefore ruining the night. Sometimes I refuse to even watch a DVD if the rest of the apartment is not as clean as I want it to be because I would not enjoy it. Now I guess this is not normal, although to me it is very much normal, but I’m at the point where this is interfering with my life and I cant do nothing about it because I will not enjoy life unless everything is clean always. I don’t know how to get this out of my head and was just wondering if any of you have any advice. Thanks.
