ocd

Hi, so a bat got into my place of work on Sunday. It ended up flying on my leg (I was wearing jeans) and crawling up it until my coworker got it off, etc. My boss told us to release it so we did. To my knowledge, neither of us was bit and other than it flying onto my leg, neither of us touched...

Possible bat bite, scared of rabies. Hi guys, so i will cut to the chase. It was 5:30 P.M. and it was still very cloudy and very much light outside. I was in my friend's car chatting with him and decided to get out of the car and while getting out i felt my hair on top of my head getting...

hello fellow health anxiety sufferers, my story is really classic. I am from greece where we have A LOT of strays, everyone pets them especially cats and they go and sit on everyone and ask for food etc. So, 15 days ago i was scratched on my hand by a cat i was petting, it was a minor scratch...

Yesterday myy dog jumped on my bed and licked my whole face while I was sleeping. I am worried about rabies. The dog is vaccinated but what If the vaccine failed? The dog was in rural area about 4 weeks ago with my grandma and I am not sure If she got bitten by a rabid animal. I wouldn't be...

Hi everyone I’m new here. I’ve recently been noticing above the right side of my lip pretty much my cheek, twitches every time I blink and only when I blink? I’ve become very fixated on it because I can feel it when I blink. Could this be anxiety or something more?

Hello, I'm new to this forum, but not to anxiety. I was formally diagnosed with GA several years ago, but I've been dealing with the various symptoms for as long as I can remember. For context, I'm a (I assume) generally healthy 35 year old, with no history of significant medical issues. For...

Hi! First of all thanks for everyone who made this forum. Having hypochondria is super annoying especially when it sometimes get intense at the worst unexpected times. I have dealt with hypochondria for many years but it did not influence my life as much as it does now. I have my best friend...

Hi. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post. So I apologize if it isn't. Basically I've had anxiety and ocd since I was 15 years old, I'm 27 now. I get horrible ocd to the point where I can't function unless I do something to combat the triggers I feel. I also have horrible hypochondria...

Hi there, introduction to me; I’m a 21 year old girl and my diagnoses are GAD, panic disorder, and bpd. Lately I can’t stop thinking about/questioning what everything means and why things are the way they are and it’s really freaking me out. It’s not just about the meaning of life, but...

Hello. I just wanted to share my situation and hopefully just get some things off of my chest. I have suffered from anxiety since I was a teenager (now 22). My anxiety and stress really hit an all time high in the past year and a half as I went through a rough breakup, graduated from college...

I really hate it when people clean my room. I always tell my mom when I leave don’t clean/ organize anything. But of course she never listens and I come back to my things being organized. It makes me so angry and frustrated. I hate touching my things after that cuz if I do I start crying with...

Hey everyone, I'm a 16-year-old girl who has had severe hypochondria for over 3 years now. Every day I google my symptoms over 20 times and diagnose myself with around 5 new diseases every day. My whole life I have been struggling with mental illness. I was diagnosed with OCD at age 6. I also...

my grandma has COPD and my mom spends a significant time in the hospital with her. Recently, they moved my grandma to a respiratory center. My mom was sick for like 2 weeks with some kind of repository problem more than a month ago and she got her friend sick too because she was staying at her...

Hi, I'm 21 and for a year now meningitis fear has taken over my life. I first discovered Meningitis because I was learning about it in my biopsychology class, unfortunately I had seen it in multiple commercials before and it even popped up on my youtube feed for the commercials to get vaccinated...

Good Afternoon! I've had sort of a strange thing going on lately, and I wanted to see if anybody could relate. I'm a well-seasoned hypochondriac, and I've worried about having everything from testicular cancer, to AIDS, to brain tumors. I've noticed that whenever my hypochondria is at its...

I’m not really sure if this is the right place to post this, but whenever I try to google what I’m feeling OCD always pops up. I dont think I have OCD but I think I have something like it? I get very anxious and uncomfortable when colours don’t match. It’s to the point where I basically only...

Needless to say, like many of us here, the anxiety has been a real struggle lately. While I do have someone who supports me and does what they can to help me along the way, it’d be nice to talk to some other folk who go through some of the same sorts of things as I do. So here I am. I’ve dealt...

Hi, so I’ve had OCD/hypochondria for a while but all of the sudden it attached onto something new, asbestos. We moved into a 1950 built house 2 years ago and are slowly working on it ourselves. Well before we moved in we torn up our bathroom floor which is directly across a 2 foot hall from my...

I’m new to this site. I’m 25 y/o with gad, depression, ocd, and haphephobia(the fear of being touched) you can imagine how wonderful and adventurous my life is... I hope you got the joke, my situation makes me feel hopeless. I can’t work because of it or have normal relationships(friendships or...
