Gemma7 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hi Lauren Are you taking your temperature a lot? It seems to me that you might just be feeling very anxious because you're taking your temperature and trying to work out if it's ok. This is just an OCD check and that's what the problem is. Remember most people don't know what temperature they are most of the time so no one can say what's right and wrong. Checking for signs of ill health is actually affecting your mental health so remember that this is worth challenging. Give yourself an hour where you act like this is a normal temperature that you are just worried because of OCD and see how your anxiety levels are then. Do not do any checking at all and don't check your temperature in an hour, try getting on with something that will keep you busy. When your anxiety comes down, then try another hour after that.
