Std paranoid! My health checks are obscene Since four months ago I convinced myself I’m riddled after googling symptoms, and spiralled then more symptoms appeared I’ve been to the doctor god knows how many times - maybe 10 ish The optician 5 times about eye std paranoia Another optician 3 times 4 std clinics Phoned clinics repeatedly Phoned sexual health helplines repeatedly Still scared and depressed and feel at risk of losing my partner Why can’t my brain accept I’m ok? Does anyone know why it’s hard to accept it?

Oh my I feel you. I don't know. I just don't get it. I go through the same but regarding pregnancy. I'm not pregnant. I even had a blood test to make sure. It came back negative, of course. It wasn't necessary. But if I my stomach gets a little swollen, then I will think I'm pregnant. Even when I get my period I fear I might be pregnant. Does any of this make sense? Hugs for you, just risk living! If you happen to get sick you'll just get treatment. It's easier to free yourself from stds than from ocd

you’re totally fine and healthy! don’t worry! there’s no way the test could have lied that many times. when my ocd gets super bad it honestly just takes time and I think to myself “u think this everyday, and everyday it hasn’t been true, so why would today be any different?” you got this!!

I’m negative for everything Oral Vaginal Rectal Please please stop checking now

My brain is just a C U Next Tuesday

100% had a rectal swab it’s all negative I called her again and she’s like yeah Ffs yeah you did you’re all fine it’s all negative

Aw thankyou so much kind stranger!! I feel like a freak sometimes

so do I! I’m on this app up at almost 4 am convinced that I’m having a heart attack (which happens almost every night). you’re not alone. ocd gets better and then worse and then better again. reading about other people’s anxieties makes me feel less alone though, thank you for being brave enough to share it here.

I called another sexual health helpline ? o had period pain after my period ended and got so paranoid...she was the same woman I spoke to yesterday about my eye. She told me I DO NOT NEED to std test again unless I slept with someone else (which I haven’t) so she said it’s just health anxiety cuz once I get relief from one thing I find another. She gave me a helpline for anxiety instead to “deal with the actual problem” Why am I this way ?

She just said I can rule out STDs because I have already tested negative for them
