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!
Right!! Thanks!!
@Keisha123 Anytime. I hope you feel better asap!
Oh I’m in your same boat
I’m obsessing over it at 35 , damn I got it 5 years early
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.
Anyone else develop it in their 30s? I’m 33 and just started showing symptoms in October 2024. So far have only been diagnosed with GAD , PD and depression.I started having intrusive thoughts after a series of panic attacks . My compulsions would be googling. I have made an effort to stop though because it only makes me feel worse. My intrusive thoughts have been around fear of going crazy
Does anyone Else’s ocd flare up bad when in stressful life situations? I was doing amazing and now that I’m having some drama with my life it seems to have come back with a vengeance. Anyone else?
Hello, my name is Brittany, and I have been living with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for as long as I can remember. However, since experiencing a stroke that I believe was a result of chiropractic care, my struggles have intensified and become overwhelmingly exhausting. I have always been acutely aware of my body and its signals, which has led to a heightened sense of worry about potential health complications. Though I’ve always had a tendency to worry, the anxiety that has surged since my stroke feels insurmountable. I’m reaching out in hopes of connecting with others who understand this journey, sharing stories and experiences in the hope that, one day, I might find a way to overcome these challenges or at least discover some relief from the relentless grip of anxiety.
