Isn’t that the truth! For me it’s always c*ncer….
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
@PhillipFillip1 I agree.it is helpful has so much options for ERP
Since I read that it's symptoms of schizophrenia voices in head who order to do bad things Usually I can deal with it but when I'm highly stressed I start to panic and idk if I believe voices and then I imagine living with it 24/7 it's horrible Im like it's unblerable part to feel pot in my stomach .. Am I in psychosis guys My psy is on vacation help ..I feel hopeless 🥺 Every time I read an symptoms on internet my mind manifest it but it's been a while my mind imitate voices because it's what scare me the most 🥺🥺🥺 A side note : I can attest that before reading symptoms it never even happened to me in my whole life
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?
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?? 💔
