I hate OCD, man. I went caving the other day (it was wonderful) but now my brain is telling me a bat must have secretly bit me without me noticing and I’m gonna die of rabies.

YOU ALSO GET THE RABIES THING!? DUDE. I'm pm just in perpetual crisis of thinking I have rabies, just waiting for the symptoms 😭 Genuinely believing something probably bit me without me noticing Looking at random lil marks/lil cuts/etc like 'mhm. This is it. I'm cooked.'

this might be anxiety over ocd? unless you have rituals you have to do to ease compulsions

This shit’s so fucking annoying. I constantly come up with the most rare edge scenarios and get all stressed about the minute possibility of them happening. This also makes sex stressful for me because I am TERRIFIED of an accidental pregnancy.

This is my first time getting it, I think because I was around some bats. For me I’m usually stressing more about whether my stove was turned off or my car was walked. I was checking all over for bat bites though lol.

I really should be way more worried about getting in a car accident given that’s an actual danger and I do a lot of long drives.

We're all desensitized to car accidents as they're so common and most ppl have experienced one. They've gotta work overtime to desensitize tf out of everyone in regard to car crashes, or the automobile industry would collapse 😭 I was JUST thinking the other day "Yk. Car crashes are super violent, wildly traumatic events. And we just gloss over them as a silly lil normal nothing part of life." Like whaaaa

I count to ten while tapping the faucet to make sure it is shut. And I compulsively count to five while trying to turn the doorknob to make sure it’s shut. And I always lock my car five times.

I do the same thing when checking my pockets, and I tap every window and door of my car once or twice over to make sure they’re shut. Definitely have compulsions.
