Feeling very stressed and anxious this week, I have pocd, harm ocd and I used to have contamination ocd and now it’s coming back and adding to my stress because of Covid, like I’m double vaxxed and stress out over a sore throat and I’m gonna spread the virus and kill so many people etc those are my thoughts and they are just not helping and adding onto everything.

I’m so sorry you have to deal with this 😔. Mine is mostly pocd and contamination although my contamination is more so about contaminating others with myself. It’s so hard when your triggers are everywhere but we’ll pull through!

@Cloclo4 I had to reschedule mine today because of this anxiety and stress of contaminating

@Cloclo4 Yes, I do in a few minutes!! And you rescheduled your therapist appt because of your anxiety? Isn’t that the point? Also are your appts in person? Mine are virtual so maybe that could be an option for you!!

@9jewels They’re in person so I was scared cause I have a sore throat of potentially spreading the virus

@Cloclo4 Ahhhhh that makes sense! A lot of practices have begun virtual appts since the pandemic so that could be something to look into with your doctor!!
