my puppy licked in my nose and i’m scared about that disease that you can get that can cause you to lose your limbs!! omg i’ve been on google for hours!!! i know it’s rare!! but i don’t want to be the one to get it!
From my understanding there is almost a less than 1% chance that could happen! Your dog will always want to lick you that will never change, some say a dogs mouth is cleaner than a humans is!!
@JerseyDog2000 Thank you so much!
think of all the people who's puppy licks there nose and think do you really wanna live like this? im sure they dont google stuff about that. enjoy your precious puppy! but yeah I et thats so scary idk. I feel like most people dont even know about that?
@Jewelsandgems you’re right.. ugh i know most people don’t know about that.. but of course me with my health anxiety will go find out about things that most ppl don’t know about! thank you for your kind response!
@FunkyFred Looking up stuff on Google is a compulsion. Do your best to live with uncertainty. You do know you have a much higher chance of dying just driving in a vehicle but I'm guessing you get in a car. Or choking on food. Or dying from numerous other ways. OCD is irrational. Even if you find comfort looking something up online OCD will attack you a different way the next day. I have 25 years of OCD experience to speak from. It will continue until you accept uncertainty and start doing exposures.
@StoicGuy You’re right, thank you!
So I'll help you out. Tell youself you may get that disease or you may not. Only God knows if you will or won't. Accept this fact and any other scary thought while also not doing compulsions to be free of OCD.
@StoicGuy thanks a lot!! cus you’re right honestly,
I posted here before but I picked up a kitten like a week ago on the road. The kitten is completely fine health wise and I can’t stop thinking I have rabies. What’s happening right now is I’ll take a drink and since I looked up that ppl with rabies have a hard time drinking I convinced myself I’m having a hard time swallowing and then that makes me panic then when I also read it makes ppl hydrophobic I’m turning that panic of thinking I have rabies into thinking I’m scared of water which furthers my obsession that I have rabies. I told my mom about all this and she told me I definitely do not have rabies just like she told me yesterday and it’s not helping and it won’t help. I’m thinking of doing the rabies shot that you get before you show symptoms in case i haven’t actually showed symptoms yet. I’m so scared I don’t want to die. I keep drinking water to prove to myself that I can swallow it. And the fact that you cant have a definite answer if u have it until you die is rlly rlly rlly freaking me out.
i touched someone else’s phone when they handed it to me to add myself to a class group chat and i feel SO gross… i can’t stop thinking about where they and their phone have been and how nasty it probably is. i can’t wash my hands until i get home, i feel so sick
I am scared of kissing bugs and the Chagas Disease, I know it's been around but it was something that I personally didn't know. Now that I do it's like bed bugs all over again but way worse. I'm so scared I'm infected, or that I will, or the bugs get worse, or I kill one in accident and I then get infected. So many things that I'm just scared of
