Being sick, while struggling with ocd
Okay, so I’m dealing with a real event/ health combo hybrid.. but does anyone else get EXTREME flair ups in their OCD when sick? The last two times I’ve come down with something (sinus infection) my OCD tends to quite literally spiral to the extent where I cant focus on my physical well being because my mental health gets to such a bad place. Almost all of my thoughts are revolving around my health or mental health (am I dying? What if I have something incurable? Or even on a totally different spectrum.. what if I’m not even sick and I’m making this up because I’m a bad person? Or what if I am sick because I’m a bad person?) I feel like a computer trying to solve an impossible equation. Any kind of advice on this is welcomed
