Hey there, this was apart of my illness theme about 5 years ago when I first had a bout of OCD. I remember I was so avoidant and scared to see videos regarding illnesses especially HIV and even avoided one of my favorite movies called Gia. Not sure exactly what your theme is but if it’s centered around contracting HIV, then you may see different illness triggers surrounding illness whether it be on tik tok, insta, etc. if you are seeing a therapist they may recommend using ERP centered around HIV so you can face your fears. I know right now it feels so scary and real, but sit through it, embrace uncertainty, resist compulsions and go on about your day!! You’ve got this!!

I was scrolling on here and now I’m having a panic attack. Someone posted resources and one of them was a NOCD article and I thought that was so great. I clicked on it because I like learning about this disorder and I love NOCD’s resources. But I read that one of the compulsions for pocd is watching cp? I thought that wasn’t a thing with POCD. I literally cannot breathe because I feel like this thing is now possible and I cant calm down. That was the first time I’ve ever seen that stated as a compulsion. I feel like I’m dying. What triggered my spiral in the first place was months ago someone contacted me and told me they watched it but claimed OCD and I felt absolutely horrified. I deleted my account and removed that person entirely. I am freaking out so bad I really can’t seem to breathe right now

I’m anxious about HIV. What if I get it? That’s a scary thought to me. And then I’m scared/worried about giving it to others, not knowing if I have it, etc.
