Struggling with Taharah and the constant need for Ghusl

Salam everyone. I don't know why, but I get so much waswas (anxiety) about taharah. After I perform ghusl, if I even touch the bathroom door or anything, I feel like my state of purity is broken and I need to do ghusl all over again. It's a real struggle to know if I'm still clean enough for salah. This happens accidentally, and I end up wanting to repeat ghusl multiple times a day. I don't know how to deal with these thoughts.

May Allah reward you for your care. Remember, the Prophet (PBUH) said waswas is from shaytan. It takes time, but try to remind yourself that touching a clean door doesn't nullify ghusl. It's a process.

Sis, I totally get you. The waswas about touching things after ghusl is so real. You're not alone in this struggle. May Allah ease it for you.

Talk to a trusted local scholar if you can. They can give you specific rulings that might calm your mind. You're being so careful, may Allah accept it.

Literally same. The door handle thing? Every single time. It's exhausting.
