That’s exactly how it it is!! Like every time you think “oh this is the time I really need to go to the hospital” and you become convinced!! I’m feeling it come on but I’m trying to ignore the thoughts

I've had struggles with my health and OCD as well. The content of my health focused fears shape shift, which helps me to understand it's OCD operating. I have some advice regarding the thoughts and ignoring them. I know how hard this is but try to not ignore them. I know this sounds counterintuitive, but the act of ignoring thoughts can tell your brain those are to be feared, only giving those thoughts more power and more likelihood to return, even stronger. Try your best to respond to the thoughts as an observer and also notice your emotional reaction. This is so hard but guess what--WE CAN ALL DO IT!!! I'm deciding to fight back at OCD today and no longer allow it to keep me from living my well deserved life. Come on guys...as Jim Bruer said in Half Baked.."WHO'S COMIN WITH ME?!?"

Mine always changes but I think that why everyone get mad at me cuz they know nothing is wrong with me, but I take it too the extreme. Its so bad cuz I waste so much money too just them telling me I fine.

Exactly!!! My family is sick of me and my friends are over it. It’s annoying because when I look back at it I think “that was silly” but in the moment it feels like it’s life or death

Ugh I'm so sorry. It took me over a year to find an ERP therapist who took my insurance. Try IOCDF.org if you have not already.

They know me too. It’s a battle every night and no one understands it. My ex was like “I haven’t been to a doctor in 5 years.” I still think about that because it’s true, no one has been more than I have and I can’t stop the stupid cycle. And it’s weird because sometimes I have no urge to go, and then one week I am set on going to the hospital for some random health reason
