PLEASE HELP!!!

sounds like it but i think definitely go see a doctor, maybe not the er, maybe urgent care or schedule an appt with your PCP just to rule out that it's not an actual health issue

Hi there! I was just reading through your post and the thoughtful responses you've received. It sounds like you're really trying to make sense of whether what you're experiencing might be OCD or a medical issue — and that’s such a valid and important question. I’m really glad you brought it up. I have a couple of thoughts that might help: If you haven’t been medically evaluated yet, I strongly encourage you to visit your primary care doctor. They can help rule out any medical causes. At the same time, if you haven’t already, consider getting an evaluation for OCD. It can be really helpful to get clarity from someone who understands this kind of experience. If you're open to exploring support, NOCD offers a free consultation call to see if our programs might be a good fit for you. Our care team is truly kind and supportive, and you can reach them anytime at care@nocdhelp.com. Once you’ve taken those two steps, you’ll have a clearer picture of what’s going on and be in a stronger position to make a plan that supports your well-being. You're not alone in this — and you're doing a great job by reaching out and asking questions. 💙

i had this too and i also had the feeling of a constant lump in my throat and being so scared to sleep because im scared ill stop breathing in my sleep. I’ve been to the ER and i was told that nothing js wrong with me so im assuming that it is the constant anxiety from ocd with the lump.
