i totally get how hearing about illnesses, especially something like a virus or bacterial infection, can spike your anxiety and make you feel super overwhelmed. it's tough dealing with those intense feelings, especially when something as common as a cold can also trigger worry. you're not alone in feeling this way. 💛 by the way, have you heard about this new AI-powered OCD therapy tool called 'unstuck?' when i was struggling with similar fears, this free AI OCD therapy tool (unstuckmyOCD.com/try) that my NOCD therapist recommended really made a difference for me. i think it'll be especially helpful for you because it offers personalized, step-by-step support for dealing with specific fears and anxieties, just like those you experience around illness. it's like having an OCD therapist in your pocket. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have Qs or just want to talk more! <3

Newly diagnosed and Curious.
Hi, I’m new to this app and newly diagnosed. Question for you all, What things did you normalize and do without a second thought that when diagnosed, you realized was actually your OCD? Mine was how concerned with germs I am. I hold my breath when I open a door so the rush of wind doesn’t infect my lungs from whatever is in the room. I thought everyone was really careful and concerned like me. But Ive learned it’s not normal the lengths I go to. What was yours?

can ocd make you question your mental health?
i have been diagnosed with OCD & generalized anxiety disorder. for some reason, i’ve been very hyper aware of everything. like the way i talk, the way i see the world, how certain things sound/look/feel, and it’s very distressing. i feel like the hyper awareness makes me afraid of things? like for some reason, my mind attached to cartoons, and i was hyperfocusing on it, and got extremely scared, like scared of the cartoon for no reason? i’ve done this a lot, and i get scared i have psychosis or schizophrenia, or something that makes you afraid of things for no unknown reason. i feel so scared that this is my new normal…. im heartbroken. so many what if’s. did i just ruin my own life?? 💔
