Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder – OCD and Fear of Leaving Fingerprints

There is a type of OCD in which the sufferer is afraid of leaving fingerprints because they feel that if a crime occurs later, they may be falsely accused of something they did not do.

This is pretty weird, but it’s out there and I feel like someone should address it.

What you need to realize is that if you have this, you are not alone. You have to realize that the chances of getting framed are slim to none. I wouldn’t tell you to go and touch everything you see. I wouldn’t tell you to touch a weapon, as this is just plain stupid. Never touch a weapon that is not yours. This is not OCD, it just covers its own purpose and is common sense. However, if you have something like a bottle in your hand and you are going to throw it away, don’t be afraid that someone will use it to hurt someone else and that your fingerprints will be on it. The odds are too low and life is too short for you to fear things like this.

This is one of those situations where you have to let go and let God. If it is not God’s will for you to go to jail, He will not let you go.

In these types of cases, it is best to stop worrying and tell God that you leave it in his hands. That will make you feel better, try it.

Take action: Sometimes you have to let go and let God do it!
