Worms and health anxiety! Reassurance needed

[Alwaysanxious272]

I believe I have threadworms that ive picked up at work (school job.) No sign of them for Dd (7) or DP. Ive ovexed everyone anyway and spent 6 hours manically cleaning yesterday. However im absolutely riddled with anxiety about passing them to everyone else/ never being able to get rid of them, I do have health anxiety/diagnosed OCD that was well under control until this. I know how silly it all sounds but I literally cant stop crying, my hands are bleeding where im constantly washing and im horrible to be around.

I just cant stop stressing, ive hot washed literally everything but have bin bags of stuff to get through still that I cant dry due to the rain (no tumble dryer.) I cant think about anything else and am convinced we will have them forever because of something I do wrong.

I think im just after reassurance that people have managed to take medication and get on with there lives without the manic hours of cleaning and that its all been okay. I do know alot of this reaction is because of my mental health and ill be taki g sreps to manage it, I just need to be able to stop stressing to look after my daughter.

Both my boys had them, dosed us all and then a 2nd dose 2 weeks later. Never been a problem since

I think you need help with your anxiety

They are admittedly very gross! And I bought the medication the second the shops opened after spotting them, but the cleaning isn't necessary

Thank you, Yes I do, I was on medication but had successfully weaned myself off in order to ttc and all had been fine for a really long time while id been off them, I unfortunately lost a pregnancy a month ago and since then the anxiety has come back, with this just sending it into overdrive. I plan to go back to the drs this week and talk through my options to get better again before i continue ttc.

Thank you, thats reassuring as im literally driving myself mad cleaning!
