I have to recommend you see if you can get therapy to alleviate this condition, OP.

I'm really sorry, but...this is something that could *really* be dangerous to yourself and others. And I'm not even talking about the police, I'm talking about any other of a hundred situations where you might need to be touched by someone unexpectedly in a life-or-death or extremely sensitive or dangerous situation - a car accident, a natural disaster, the midst of a sudden violent event, a situation where making a noise or a sudden movement might cause an animal to attack you, a mugger to shoot you, or a ceiling to cave in on your, where an uncontrollable reaction from you could accidentally wind up killing or badly injuring yourself or another person.

I really hope this doesn't freak you out, OP, and I really, honestly, am not saying this to give you distress. But it's just something that really, truly could end up causing really, really bad consequences for you or someone else.

Obviously, if nothing works, there's nothing you can do about it. After all, there are disabilities, physical or mental, like paralysis, blindness, deafness, OCD, vertigo, etc, that make it impossible for some people to do things that could save their life or others', and in those cases you've gotta just live and let live because there's no use worrying pointlessly when you can't do anything about it. But it seems like this *might* be something you can overcome with therapy, and it's just as dangerous as a disability, so I really, really recommend trying.

This, so much. The answer is not to avoid it - this is something that you NEED to confront for your own safety and the safety of others.

And coming from someone with OCD, actually, you CAN learn how to handle it and not be afraid. It isn't easy, it takes a long time, and it's scary, but it can be done.
