Drew-Yep. Got it last Friday. I had Johnson & Johnson the first time, and the Pfizer Booster. I was really nervous about mixing. But it was completely fine. Had some mild fatigue the next day and a mildly sore arm. I was completely fine by the next day.
I'm so glad to hear that it went completely fine! :) some people don't seem to have very bad symptoms, so I think that's wonderful that you did so well with it. By the way, I realize I replied like a week late to your post, so I'm sorry about that. 😅
I hope the covid shot and booster shot went well for you Lms526! I think you're really strong for going through with getting the booster shot even though you were really scared! You stuck to what you felt like was right for you and didn't back down! That's an accomplishment in my opinion! :) And Catlove9, I understand how you feel about vaccines, I got the flu vaccine 4 times as a kid, and 3 out of those 4 times I got the flu REALLY bad, to the point that I almost had to go to the hospital at least 1 of those times. But all the years I didn't get the flu vaccine I was perfectly fine. So, because of that I decided I have no interest in getting anymore vaccines, if they're just going to make me more sick, what's the point? With all of that being said though, I'm just one person, and when it comes down to it the reason I probably get really sick from vaccines is because I think I have a weak immune system. But everyone is different and the covid vaccine has honestly helped a lot of people, but it's also had some bad effects and cases for some people too. The important thing though is that you know your body and if you think it would be right for you. If vaccines typically don't do you any harm and help you and you're comfortable with the vaccine on all other levels too (religious, work related, how other people look at it, etc.) then maybe you should get it, but only if you're comfortable with it. No one can force you to get it, so don't let anyone put pressure on you to get it. Also don't put pressure on yourself either, just be honest with yourself about it. :) I hope you both have a wonderful day! God bless! :)
Hi! I know this is a super old thread some I’m not sure if you will see this, but on the off chance you do, how did you get through the original vaccines? This experience has also been traumatic for me because I am having intrusive thoughts about the vaccine killing me. I got the first dose and am scheduled for the second later this month but the intrusive thoughts are even worse this time around. Any tips? Thank you
In about a week I will be doing my most difficult OCD Exposure which will include flying and it’s already eating away at me. I’m having a hard time sleeping. I wish more than anything i could make this anxIety go away . I’m extremely claustrophobic and have panic disorder. I’ve flown before but last time I was sat in the back and I began to panic and ended up getting off the plane prior to takeoff. I hate this uncomfortable feeling. I hate the sound of the door closing and feeling like I am trapped. I’m planning to take a half a klonopin,
I'm supposed to have a doctor's appointment for a physical this week and I've known about it for weeks but now I'm having overwhelming anxiety and panic about contamination themes. I know that rescheduling or canceling will only make the panic worse and make the OCD stronger but I just started ERP and I seriously don't know if I can cope with this level of exposure/anxiety at this point. It will also make my family upset if I don't go. I'm trying to just sit with the discomfort and not look for reassurance but it's so overwhelming and everything makes it worse. I hate having OCD and I hate these feelings so much.
I am having really bad anxiety today and just want to take an anxiety pill to help me relax, but then I have ocd intrusive thoughts telling me something bad will happen if I take it or I will go crazy or something.
