Health OCD
I think I have health ocd, I’m always worrying like 24/7 and it’s always about stuff my friends call silly. For example I think a mole is skin cancer and I look up all about it- it’s hard to explain but I’m always worrying. I also worry a lot about contamination, my cousins have HPV and you cannot pay me enough to be near them, I also wash my hands alot more near them. I’m constantly looking up something new about my health and I feel like this is making it really hard to live without feeling uncomfortable, I wanted to get a cat but now I’m scared I’m allergic to them. (Logically ik im not but yk) anyway sorry for the overshare but do you think I have ocd?

It may not necessarily be OCD but health stress and overthinking and worrying about health seems to be more prevalent after Covid.
IMO many things in news seem focused on making is seem like danger everywhere which can exasperate your overthinking. Is there items that can happen ...Yes. you need to decide if shutting your life down in fear is better then taking a risk and LIVING
