You want to do a comparison? :)

1. Chewing on the left side of my lower lip.
2. Scratching at bug bites or bumps. Then scratching at the scabs. Then scratching the scars and starting it all over again.

[Both 1 and 2 are a form of self-injury, which often helps a person cope with anxiety. Unfortunately, it's not a GOOD way to cope with anxiety.]

3. Washing my hands. Opening the door from the kitchen to the garage with a paper towel. Then opening the washer and dryer with the same paper towel. Thus my hands are still clean when I pull the clean clothes out of the dryer.

4. Opening all bathroom doors with a paper towel, i.e., all public restroom doors.

5. Spinning the TP a little to get it past the last square removed, to avoid other people's germs on the TP. Then pulling off a piece and putting it behind the toilet, for me to toss when I'm done. Then taking a was of TP and cleaning off the toilet seat. Checking the front of the toilet to ensure someone hasn't accidentally dribbled down the front (either blood or urine), or possibly accidentally slapped their tampon against the front of the toilet when removing it. [I don't want that touching the back of my blue-jeans, thank-you-very-much.] Then putting down 2 toilet seat covers into the toilet water, to remove the possibility of "splash-back". The 3rd toilet seat cover goes on the seat. It never fully adequately covers the seat, so about 6 strips of TP later (on top of the toilet seat cover), I can finally sit down and do my job.

6. Turning off the faucet in public restrooms using a paper towel.

7. Sneezing into my collar, or rather, pulling my collar free of my chest so I can stick my nose down my shirt when I sneeze. This is to avoid having germs in the crook of my arm or on my hands instead. And the shirt probably captures 99.999% of the sneeze germs, which has got to be better than sneezing into my hands.

8. Using purell after going grocery shopping.

9. If I've been in a medical facility, changing t-shirts when I get home, and washing my arms up to my elbows, as if I leaned on the arms of a chair, or had blood drawn (and had to put my arm down on the table for that), I want my arms to be free of germs.

10. Avoiding people who have just sneezed or coughed.

Crap, there's more. Zoloft has helped me to feel less anxious about all the above, but I still do most of my rituals. But then, I don't want to accidentally get sick while pregnant, and then have to have antibiotics. So, heh, that's my justification, LOL!
