Isn’t that the truth! For me it’s always c*ncer….
i totally get how hearing about illnesses, especially something like a virus or bacterial infection, can spike your anxiety and make you feel super overwhelmed. it's tough dealing with those intense feelings, especially when something as common as a cold can also trigger worry. you're not alone in feeling this way. 💛 by the way, have you heard about this new AI-powered OCD therapy tool called 'unstuck?' when i was struggling with similar fears, this free AI OCD therapy tool (unstuckmyOCD.com/try) that my NOCD therapist recommended really made a difference for me. i think it'll be especially helpful for you because it offers personalized, step-by-step support for dealing with specific fears and anxieties, just like those you experience around illness. it's like having an OCD therapist in your pocket. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have Qs or just want to talk more! <3
Seconding this!!!! The unstuck app is the best thing on my phone for my OCD
@PhillipFillip1 I agree.it is helpful has so much options for ERP
Does anyone on here happen to have hyper specific health obsessions? Specifically on rare, incurable diseases. I have one in particular but I literally hate even typing the word out! I’m so sick of my brain being like this!! I was doing great for months and all the sudden it’s back after seeing one tiktok comment that mentioned it.
I want to beat OCD because it puts stress on my relationships, my health, my future. I thought it was under control but with constant stories of Covid coming back, infections from mosquitoes, flesh eating bacteria in the water I am becoming scared to leave my home. I want my normalcy back.
A couple hours ago I started having a fever, my body can’t stop shivering and my fingertips are numb. I took medicine for it, but my ocd is off the rails right now I can’t control my emotions. It’s just a fever, everyone gets them, but I can’t stop crying bc my ocd is making my life flash before my eyes. It’s so dramatic and I hate it. I hate how this happens every time I get particularly ill, my ocd makes it ten times worse and makes me feel like I’m dying. I’ve been panicking for an hour and just trying to distract myself with social media while the medicine kicks in. I wish my mom was here.
