If you just got tested 5 days ago and you’re fine you’re still fine love it’s just your OCD playing tricks on you because it knows that’s your biggest fear and obsession I promise you’ll be okay just try to distract yourself distract distract distract and don’t play into your compulsions like rumination it’ll only make the ocd worse

Hi, I’m not a specialist of this by no means and I’m also still on my journey, but I used to have a severe contamination OCD when I was a kid. Now it has evolved to other things that can feel very real. And OCD targets what matters most to us. And it wants us to believe we are DOOMED. It also doesn’t like uncertainty, and a huge part of life is uncertainty. Things will always be uncertain until it’s not! Do not look up for reassurance, do not do research, do not ruminate, it will only make it worse!!! Live life for TODAY!! There are also helpful resources on YouTube that can give ERP sessions or information for your subtype! Hope this helps:) remember, live for TODAY. You only get it once.

Unless you were handling needles recently, the odds of you being infected with anything are slim to none. That being said, I don’t want to reassure you. You have to accept the possibility that you have a disease, and just say “oh well, maybe I do, maybe I don’t.” Believe me, I know how hard this is. I am dealing with a different theme of OCD at the moment that is tormenting me, and I am trying to do the same thing I am telling you.

not doing okay
i need to hear encouraging words. they likely will only make me feel good for an hour or so, since it’s not coming from loved ones like i need, but i just want someone to believe in me, for someone to know i struggle with severe ocd and have since i was 7/8. i want someone to know this about me and still encourage me to get better and have hope that i will become the best person i can be. i have no one. i’m depressed. i can’t keep living this alone. please

school
Its been like 3 weeks of school and its just been really difficult and stressful 😭 ive had two tests and i havent gotten them back yet but i have a feeling i didnt do as well as i wanted to on either of them and that scares me because i usually score perfectly and well. And my classmates are so good at everything 😭 and ik this is kinda bad but i hate seeing people do better in things im supposed to be good at… like math is one of my strongest subjects but i messed up on a few questions so bad and i feel so stupid and now im scared that im gonna be like this for the rest of the semester 😞 it scares me. Plus all my classmates talk to me sometimes and all and i be as nice as possible but i still feel invisible- even with friends i just feel like im bothering them and i feel like im just alone and have no one to talk to bc either no one cares or i feel like burden and annoying and unlovable 💀

Living with uncertainty
I feel like no one cares about me... Im struggling in college and it just feels like I cant catch a break... Ive made bad choices that make me a bad person... I have to be uncertain about worst case POCD scenarios that may or may not have happened unknowingly... I genuinely dont feel like any one cares about me... and if I pass away, ill be laughed at and forgotten by everyone... Im alone with no gf, barely any friends, and I cant even be certain that my POCD fears of unknowingly cybering with a minor did or didnt happen... im stuck in hell...
