That is a coincidence :) my name is actually Sofia! This might sound a bit stupid but I’m a bit worried about my cat. She normally sleeps in the kitchen as she’s too hyper to sleep with. She had a vaccination the other day and since then, she has been sleeping a lot more than usual. She barely left the house today, and spent the day curled up in a ball. I know I shouldn’t be worried as her body is just recovering from the vaccine, but my ocd is telling me that it’s more than that. I asked my mum if my cat could sleep with me as I was a bit stressed and I could sleep (I didn’t say y I was stressed) but she said no and that the only reason I can’t sleep is because I had some Coke. I don’t know what to do? Why are you anxious? X

Just to throw this out there apparently there is a legit support group called Cats and OCD... I think I found it on the IOCDF website.

Never fun ? Anything specific fuelling your anxiety Sof? (P.S: My name is actually Sophie and my sister calls me Sof! Just thought it was a funny coincidence ☺️ ) X

Ha what a strange coincidence! I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through that Sof! It’s times like this that this app is so helpful ☺️ I have contamination OCD and I’m anxious because I’m starting school again tomorrow after a week off and being around so many people, especially as at the moment so many people are sick, is really scary to me ? Flamewheel, Cats and OCD sounds like a brilliant support group to me ? X

It started when I became an adult, and started receiving my mental health diagnosis. I hyper fixated on each and every action I did and how it could be related to my diagnosis’s. It then lead to fixation to my physical health — making appointments and seeing every specialist I can to rule out every possibility. I currently have been suffering with obstructive sleep. I woke up the past few days with severe pain from the lack of sleep whilst believing I was oversleeping. Luckily my fit watch tracks my sleep cycle and it turns out I am not receiving any sleep. I had an extreme panic attack — bursting into tears on the phone with my mom wondering what this case might be. She told me it could be sleep apnea and that a simple sleep study could figure this out. However, knowing my family history I made appointments to every specialist I can to make sure it is nothing serious. The unknown of health can be scary to me. Watching my mother suffer with her physical health chronically since I was a child lead me to be very conscious and aware of how my body is functioning. This morning was one of the worst moments of physical pain. I should just take one step at a time with the sleep doctor instead of taking measures to see every specialist that could pertain with this issue. However, that is very hard to me. I don’t want to ever wake up in the pain I was this morning. Does anyone else suffer with health-related OCD? And if so, how do you find a sense of ease during moments like I expressed?

I am extremely nervous for my first session with a NOCD therapist. I feel myself tapping and counting more, what if he doesn’t like me? What if I’m not open enough? What if I talk too much? What if I tell things I don’t want to tell. Is this the right platform for OCD/ROCD ? Can’t sleep.

I’ve noticed this new obsession with having to pee right before bed, like even if I have to pee a little I can’t fall asleep until my bladder is completely empty. Anyone else have a problem like this or knows how to cope?
