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
@PhillipFillip1 I agree.it is helpful has so much options for ERP
I'm having awful stomach pain and nausea and it's really worrying me and scaring me
so i was on instagram and it came up with other signs of ocd then someone commented this doesn’t mean you have ocd now im stressed that its not ocd background - i had so-ocd for a few years then got treatment for it but am now on the waiting list for further treatment for other stuff but i dont have another theme which makes me feel like its not ocd my day to day life consists of touching the door handle every time you go past it or someone will die, and inability to send emails without re reading loads of times and getting other people to check because im scared i wrote something bad but the what if it’s not ocd thought is triggering me now and i don’t know what do
Does anyone else ever feel like they don’t feel “bad enough” to have OCD, or that they don’t feel “the right way” for it? Or like they’re just saying they have OCD as an excuse? Because i was so much better for like 3 weeks now and now im on my period and i started doubting again. So because of that im scared that i was feeling to good and that my fear is actually true.
