Health ocd, Im freaking out

Hey sorry to hear this, I struggled with health ocd for years. Rachelsocdgrotto on instagram has a lot of helpful health anxiety content.

I have a health fear as well. I HATE being sick especially throwing up, so when I throw up, everything I did that day needs to be retraced to make sure it wasn’t anything I did. I ALWAYS wash my hands before I eat, I ALWAYS wash my hands when I get home, I never fall asleep in clothes I wore outside. My bed is my “clean space” and it overwhelms me with fear when there’s bugs or something dirty in my house. What helped me most, was trying to figure out a way to look at the positive things of dirt. Your immune system gets better, that’s something.

Thnx, right now for Me is hard as Im experiencing some physical symptoms like pelvis pain, irregular menstruations, Ibs and also sweating. I have been checked, colonoscopy, ultrasound and gyneacologists, all looked normal. My doc wants Me to do a contrast ct scan and Im very affald of THE radiation and its effects, at THE other side I want to know what is going on with this pain. So in a Big dilemma that gives Me a huge anxiety

hey there, i'm really sorry to hear you're going through such a tough time with your health ocd. it sounds incredibly exhausting and overwhelming to have those fears running your life. 😔 i've got my own battle with pure o, so i totally get how much ocd can mess with your head, even if our obsessions aren't the same. i'm here to listen and support you through this rough patch. so, my therapist told me about this free ai ocd therapy tool called "unstuck" (www.AIOCDtool.com), and it's been a game-changer for me. given the way your ocd is dominating your thoughts, this tool could be a real lifeline. it's designed to help you work through the moments when ocd is kicking your butt. you just type out what's on your mind, and the ai guides you through, just like a trained ocd therapist would with erp strategies. i know it's easy to be skeptical about app recommendations, but i promise you, i'm not into promoting stuff either. i'm sharing this because it genuinely helped me find some peace, and i hope it can do the same for you. if you've got any questions or wanna chat about it, i'm all ears. take care.
