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!!

Anxious ab HIV
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.

OCD with posts and online activity
Does anyone experience ocd really bad with posts they see online? I just saw a post just now about someone who said they’ve come to terms with dying in their early twenties, and it popped up on my Instagram for you page and i panicked. I’m 20 myself and posts like this genuinely scare me because I always think “It’s a sign or there is a reason it’s popping up on my page.” Has anyone dealt with this before or had an instance like this? Especially with those posts that say if you don’t share or like it something bad will happen, it genuinely freaks me out and I love instagram.
