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!!
hey there, i totally get how those kinds of posts can really spike your anxiety, especially when you're already dealing with ocd. it's tough, but you're not alone in this. 🌟 you should try "unstuck" - just google "unstuck app for ocd" and it should pop up. my nocd therapist put me onto it and it's been a game-changer for me this past month, might be a good fit for you too!
Tomorrow I started a new treatment with Saxenda, because my gynecologist told me, with the exactly dosis, I was really happy for have better health, but I saw a comment on TikTok there's a possibility of Cancer Thyroid, now I'm thinking what If I'll get cancer, and thinking about don't want to ruin my treatment but if the cancer? But a lot of normal things give you cancer, I so scared but was that comment on TikTok I scared ah, now I'm searching on Google, but nothing is going to happen right ??? If I have the control of my dosis nothing's going to happen right?
Please help… I’m starting to panic and I know I shouldn’t do this because it’s a compulsion and I’m looking for reassurance but I wanna know if it happens to others so I just watched a video on TikTok about this mother loosing her child to fentanyl and like I don’t know why every time a drug is mentioned or like I see someone drugged in the street my mind instantly makes me feel the urge of wanting the drug when I really don’t or making me think I’m gonna become addicted to a drug (I don’t do drugs I’m scared) like it scares me because I see what they do to people but it makes me feel like the urge to do it or to think I might become addicted or I might go try it and become an addict idk the worst case scenario it makes me think or like someone is gonna drug me. Like I always feel like someone is gonna drug me I always feel like someone is out to drugging me or I grab something and i immediately think I’m gonna become drugged. I hate it.
Something came up on my fyp on tiktok. The possibility of asteroid Apophis hitting the earth in 2029 and 2036. NASA assured it wouldn’t hit instead coming between the moon and earth. The comments are all fear mongering. They say you can’t trust NASA and they’d have a reason to lie to the common folk. If it was about anything else i’d wave it away because I don’t give sceptics the time of day but this is bothering me severely. I’ve been staring at a wall for the past hour absolutely terrified and trying my best not to reassure myself. This is horrible for me, because images of my own death and that of the world keep relentlessly attacking my psyche. I wish i could just wave this off but it’s sticking to me terribly.
