compulsion and revulsion

I think I have mentioned before the incredible capacity (or perhaps capacitance) of metal surfaces in this place (Global) to hold static charge. For this reason, I get zapped with static every time I open a door.

I don't know why but I always touch these doorknobs with two fingers first, the index and middle finger, and get zapped with just them rather than my whole hand. The reasons for this are unknown even to me. Unfortunately, it's turned into a bit of an OCD thing - I touch virtually every metal surface with my index and middle fingers now, including ones it would not be considered usual to touch. It's weird enough that I do it before grabbing hold of metal bannisters, but also metal columns, metal signs - virtually everything that could potentially shock me and is within reaching distance. This is a problem, because a lot of these things actually do shock me, and because virtually nobody touches them, the shocks can be quite bad.

The more I try to control it the more rampant it becomes. I think I need some kind of professional help.
