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.

Does anyone else wish there was a chat feature to speak with a coach or counselor on here? I guess they might worry that people will seek immediate reassurance, but sometimes being all alone is horrible. I have had non stop adrenaline since Friday and being alone like this feels 10x worse. I visited someone yesterday, and I’m trying to hold out to see my therapist tomorrow but it’s so difficult. I am so alone.

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...

Posting for reassurance and not getting comments due to that is so hard. OCD is so hard..
