Hi there,
I suppose im trying to look for some light because I am struggling so much and am awaiting counselling, we’ll I’ve been waiting for just shy of a year.
I have several forms of OCD, the most prevalent at the moment being contamination OCD, it is ruining my life, I can’t carry out any simple tasks, I am washing my hands hundreds of times a day, I am cleaning everything, in a state of panic all the time, I also have a terrible fear of blood and have convinced myself I have hiv even though I’ve never shared a needle nor been able to contract it through intimacy, I am at my wits end, I just want to live my life, I’ve got a wonderful boyfriend and lovely animals, I can’t carry on like this, I am struggling to go to work, I have a constant headache, it’s all too much
I just want to know if anyone has been through something similar, and if you’ve managed to overcome any of it, and also what can I do to keep going whilst I’m awaiting help?
Thank you,
J
