Are you asking if you have obsessive compulsive disorder?
If not maybe your just bored and taking a shower seems like the thing to do.
Whats your feeling on why you have taken 3 showers since 5 pm?

it is if you think it is. it is also something that will in time make you feel itchy dry your skin.
there is nothing really wrong with taking a shower 3 times in one day except it uses alot of hot water and that cost money.
the only way i can see this being a problem is if you feel you have to continue doing this even though you can think of no reasonable reason to do it.
if this just started i wont give it a second thought and i would just carry on with my day if it goes on longer or it becomes something that interferes with your normal routine then you might want to think about this matter a bit more. other then that hey why not invite someone to join you at least you wont waste so much water and it can be fun.

You probably are suffering of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder which means that you somehow you believe that if you wash yourself enough & use enough hot water that you''ll feel clean enough. But somewhere in your brain your thinking is stuck on a viscious cycle of you washing your best, only your best isn't good enough, so you keep washing & not feeling clean enough. Your best bet is to go to a mental health clinic that deals with this disorder & get some psychotherapy &/or medication that will help you with this viscious cycle.

I don't think its weird, I do it as well, it gives one a sense of relief and the feeling of extra clean skin its awesome. Especially if it is a really hot day or night.
Enjoy having more showers.

Well it's hard to tell from one sentence. But It maybe something to be concerned about if it happens again and again. I would also spend a moment to think about anything that happend in you past thatt caused you to feel dirty. You may need to see some one to deal with these issues. Next time you see a doctor you may want to chat with them about this.

I do believe that as you are most likely living in a democractic country, you are free to take as many showers as you wish, as long as you are paying your utilities. This sort of behaviour continued, however, could potentially damage your social life and also become rather costly.

well, its more fun to shower with someone else. Are you cold? I sometimes take hot showers when I am cold. At least you ARE taking showers instead of skipping them. That would be not so good!

Could be a disorder if this is something you do all the time. There is therapy to help you overcome it. It is an obsession with being clean. I know cause I have a slight case of this myself. Mainly with my hands.

Do you suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder? It's not normal to be doing the same thing several times in a row.

um, sounds like you're having a little bit of an obsessive-compulsive day. try to relax a bit. if this sort of thing keeps up, you may want to talk to a doctor who can help you.
