Hello everyone, I have yet another problem, but this doesn't involve chewing on non-edible objects. For a while now, I have been having an awful problem. Every time I pick up something, even for a few seconds, I [b]HAVE[/b] to pick it up again. Like, if I drop a pencil on my desk, pick it up with two fingers, and set it down, I have to pick it up and repeat the process. Sometimes until my hands get tired.
Is there any way to stop myself from doing this?
OCD, talk to a psychologist/therapist

AKA go to a real doctor, fp cant help you
I have the chewing on random things problem.
ADD we can't help
cutting your hands off might help
Touch a girl instead man.
I'm sorry son, there is no way out.

Sucks to be him. I was a lonely horny internet dude once upon a time until I started socializing again.
Definitely some sort of compulsion. Every time you have the urge to pick something up just think "What's gonna happen if I don't?"

Well, my hands shake like crazy if I don't touch the object.
Do you also touch yourself?

I'll take that as a yes.
Wrap your hands with duct tape.
It's either a severe case of ADHD, ADD, or OCD
Or a medical anomaly

Basically, you're going to die
Amputation is your only chance.
are dicks one of those things
You can't physically control yourself to NOT touch a object? Do you happen to obsessively clean things, things must be in order?
cut off your hands
simple

He'll just use his mouth.
Therapist, you better do it.
I'm not kidding, if you don't treat it early it will spiral out of control and your life becomes a self-created hellhole.

PM me if you've got questions.
See a doc. He will give you some medicines. You may be just nervous tho.
I'm surprised OCD was considered. I thought everyone on Facepunch thinks they have it?

Not the pansy OCD that FP describes, but the real psychological Obsessive Compulsive Disorder that's actually a recognized disease.
Solve it by touching something that you wouldn't dare touch again, let's say you "accidentally" touch some random girl's boobs, I don't think you'll go out of your way to touch them again, unless you're a sick pervert.
Problem solved.
Try just leaving it after you've touched it/picked it up. Even if it makes you feel super uncomfortable, try it on everything you've picked up for a month or so. After that, hopefully, you'll feel better, since you'll be used to not picking things up again.
I've heard of a mythical substance called Benantis Geytin, it is in most muscle relaxants, eg Bengay, hence the name. Applying this to the 'infected' area will help. It is also used as sexual lubricant. Trust me, I have a degree in this sort of thing.
Try to force youself to not pick it up again, talk to someone else than Facepunch.
I think it's best to talk to your parents about this.
It's OCD go to a doctor and get sorted out, doctors can help cos I have OCD to I wash my hands alot I have that have to be clean OCD and I go to the doctors.
Don't listen to them, my way is the way to go.
