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 something earlier about going to a concert and being proud that I didn’t wear a mask. I’m afraid to catch norovirus and people keep saying it’s going around Like crazy atm and I’m like super anxious that I will get it. I read something that said you usually develop symptoms 24-48 hours after exposure ( it’s been 72hrs since the concert) but I so scared that I will get it and I’m like so anxious and I regret not wearing a mask. It’s like I’m so anxious I can’t sleep😩
im not sure if this is ocd or if im just being anxious but i learned what prion disease is (mad cow disease/cjd) but im very nervous, and my head is hurting and that’s scary
I usually don’t write this much in the detail, but now I’m really scared, please help. So I had this “basic” intrusive thought if you don’t do that that will happen and of course I couldn’t resist and did it. But the problem is the thing I did is to put in mouth just a little (i mean really just a little) body lotion. In the past my I was really scared of getting anything like that in my mouth. Really scared. When I did put (really just a little lotion) in my mouth I immediately spit it out. But then my other side of ocd started acting up and I started to panick. Now i’m VERY scared i’ll get posioned and die. I researched a lot on google, and now I feel like I’m having some of the symthoms. I should go to sleep now, but I can’t forget this. Is there anything to worry about? (thank you for every answer, this is kind of embarrasing)
