SERIOUS ANSWERS ,PLEASE
I shower 3 times a day.Once when I wake up in the morning,once after I come back from school and I usually go outdoors in the evenings so I shower when I come back at about 11:30 p.m.Is that too much?And on my cousin's wedding day I showered when I woke up then swam in the swimming pool then showered.I showered again in the afternoon to get ready for the wedding and when the wedding was over (and that was at 3:00 a.m) I wanted to hit the showers ,but my mom said that I should go straight to bed.Do I really have O.C.D?And everytime I go out I shower after I come back,so If I have to go out like three times or four times a day I shower after I come back each time .Should I really worry about that?And I have the flu now ,so I can't shower as much.I just finished showering and I got even sicker.How can I stop myself from showering too much?Or is that normal?
Plus my skin is way dry!

Sounds like you could have OCD, yes. I wouldn't fuss about the day of the wedding, but all the rest sounds excessive. And you are probably drying out your skin (and hair?) way too much. Talk to your doctor. There really is help for it.

If you don't shower, do you become extremely upset and anxious? If the answer is yes, then there is most likely some OCD going on.
If the answer is no, then you just like to be extra clean, and it's a personality quirk - nothing serious to worry about.

sounds like you have a touch of anxiety....chill out a little, it's not to the extreme, but also dont let it get there....if you enjoy 3 showers daily then fine, but if you start doing strange rituals over and over then you have something to worry about....also, your skin now is dry, if you continue doing this then your body will adjust and start to produce more oils for your skin to moisturize, and then you'll end up having to actually shower that many times daily...so be aware of that as well.

Get a better deorderent.
Use some powder. Part of the reson for feeling ICKY is moisture Power will absorbe it.
Wear clothes that breath beater.
Try just washing your face and or hair only that might make you feel better.
