my OCD is driving me mad. I can’t switch my mind off, it’s exhausting if I have nothing to occupy me physically or to distract me my thoughts race, I hate being alone
my OCD is based on the fear of harming someone unintentionally eg food poisoning them etc but todays case focus’s is me thinking I might have covid (no real evidence so I know it’s irrational) as I’m tired and v v v occasionally have a tickle in my throat. It’s irrational but it’s bugging me as I don’t want to unintentionally make anyone Ill. I know no one bothers any more about this but the bigger picture is that I’m going out with friends tomorrow that I’m worried about making Ill and I’m working at the weekend where if I can’t work I will be serious trouble (own business) so i see I’m self sabotaging but can’t stop. My mind is racing
i try breathing , exercise, cbt nothing stops it. Anyone else have trouble with this ? I want to be the old carefree me
