I feel you. If proof is best for you, you can always get blood work done to make sure you're healthy. But, instead of reassurance and thousands in medical bills, ik easier said then done, but until something actually feels wrong or you know something is wrong, try not to worry too much about your health. Drink water, eat decent and exercise and they rest is up to the universe. Don't stress too much, I'm sure you're not as unhealthy as your ocd believes!

This is something that we have to accept that we can’t control, I’m 22 and terrifying about death as well. At the end of the day wouldnt we rather just enjoy and experience life rather than spending day and night worrying about it. Life is confusing and we can’t get all the answers in our life time so we must simply just live because that is all we are here to do. All that matters is that you are here in this moment.

Sometimes I feel too old for OCD
Anyone else over 30 and dealing with thoughts that feel debilitating? I know I’m not alone, but I’m curious who else is with me.

fear of death and ocd
so i have ocd but this is the main theme ive been dealing with for the last few months, im obsessed with my mortality and i feel trapped by the reality of death. i dont really believe in an afterlife which makes it scarier, not that i dont wanna my brain literally just wont let me. but i have daily panic attacks thinking about death all day, its honestly the toughest thing ive ever dealt with. does anybody have any tips on how they manage this if they have ever dealt with it? not looking for reassurance, just some non compulsive ways to kind of lessen the grip of the fear.
This is me!

Aging and death anxiety
I’ve been perturbed for a couple of months now with incessant thoughts about aging and dying. I really am not sure what to do. This feels like other OCD themes, but also really different, because this time, what I’m afraid of is sure to happen. I will either die, or age and then die. It’s been so difficult to enjoy anything lately. I just want to pull a blanket over my head and wait until death comes. Has anyone else felt this way? I feel quite alone. I am trying to enjoy life, but I just remember that it will all be gone in a flash. Nothing really seems to help me feel better. The only escape I have is in my dreams where I can fantasize about never aging or dying. Or at least being able to rewind the clock to have more time.
