Worried Drink was Poisoned, Help

I usually always watch my drink or leave it around a close friend, but about a week ago, I had to do something urgent & took my eyes off of my drink for a long time. Somebody who I’m not sure if they like me was around it & then as soon as I finished what I was doing they left off & when they came back they were looking in my direction. I started to toss it altogether, but I took a sip & thought it didn’t taste the same but it could just be OCD. It’s been a week but I still feel uneasy worried my drink was tampered with or that there was some type of undetected poison. Even when I’m doing good, I wonder back to it & it makes me anxious. How do I move past it?

Later that day I had some coffee with my lunch because I was tired & later I threw up a little bit but swallowed it on accident (sorry for the gross description). I always worry because it could’ve been what I ate or the coffee, but what if that was my attempt to get the poison if there was any out & missed it.

By now you would have been sick so your ok. It doesn't take that long to be sick from something. More importantly, do you think this person is out to get you? That seems to be the motivator of this fear am I right? You're gonna be ok 👍 you already figured it out for yourself! Hope you can get some help from professionals I can't imagine how scary that would have been for you! Please take care

Also clarifying I think this person was not wanting to harm you. It's easy to read into things when we have OCD. I'm sure they were just looking around, looking at you like a normal person would we just look around :) hope you're ok 👍

TBH , Just for health reasons and other reasons I never leave an open beverage unattended. I feel there are several legitimate reasons for this and none of them tie to OCD or GAD issues at all.

Does anyone have advice for intrusive thoughts while tipsy? I haven experience this before and then a random thought hit me! Had this happen. The buzz had warn off but it still freaked me out cause I don’t know it was OCD or an actual thought. I got anxiety really bad after.

Hey this isn’t really ocd related I don’t think, I’m just hoping for a piece of advice from some of you guys out there. This Friday I went to a party with some of my friends, to another friend of mines dorm room. The friend who’s dorm room we were in, me and her had became close last year other than that we haven’t really spoken much over the last semester. I’ve never thought of her as anything besides friends. I have a girlfriend I love very much and everything and I would never ever want to hurt her at all. Friday I was very intoxicated, and was talking to one of my other friends about the friend who’s dorm room it is about how I thought she was attractive. But with my guy friends we’ve always been very open about talking about females indirectly. I don’t think I said anything to her directly about it and I am really hoping I didn’t seem flirtatious because I feel absolutely full of anxiety and guilt that I was disloyal to my girlfriend in sort of way and idk what to do. Physically I’m positive for sure I didn’t do anything and my other friend says I didn’t say anything to her while he was around. I’m just really scared because I love my girlfriend and I don’t want to sit w the guilt that I did something to hurt her. Vowed to myself I wouldn’t drink again or put myself in a situation where I may be vulnerable to doing something like that. Someone please give me some advice to feel less guilty
