How do I overcome phobias? I have a phobia of smelling bad and I'm conscious about it. I have an exaggerated sense of hygiene, I shower 2 times a day every day, change clothes even 3 times a day, bring spare clothes with me everywhere. I use a lot of expensive hygiene products and everyone tells me I smell very good, even random people on the street. I'm not fat or big, in fact I'm skinny as hell. It's starting to affect me because I already have too many clothes, sometimes I wear a shirt only once for a couple hours before having to change and wash it.
I'm extremely obsessed with this and spend hours a day cleaning and washing stuff, YET I still feel that I smell very bad.

I don't think it's a serious enough problem to require medication or a psychologist (not about to take a fistful of meds a day because I wash too much) but I need solace in my mind that I'm clean and smell nice. I'm very paranoid that everyone is telling me I smell nice but talk behind my back or something. It's negatively affecting my life, I have a hard time approaching people or have people close to me. I feel uncomfortable when someone tries to hug me and make excuses. I'm lonely and feel lonely.

Anyone else managed to get over phobias and paranoid thoughts? I feel like those anorexic people that insist they are actually obese.
