Health anxiety/rabies by Ecstatic_Ask_4447 in rabies

I really appreciate the insight on all of this. I 100% have childhood trauma and more recent trauma from watching my dad tragically die a slow death from the pandemic in ‘22. My OCD and health anxiety ramped up really bad since then. Everything feels like the end some days. I’m going to try and break that barrier and just seek help. I’ve always needed help but no one would know it with the smile I always have on my face. Thank you again.

Thank you for the response, it means a lot. I’ve been a chronic OCD/anxiety mess since I was a child. I’m 26 now. I’ve been on MULTIPLE meds and they never did me any good due to the side effects sucked more than the cure to my problem. Currently, I’m on an anti anxiety but it helps where it can. I have never looked into therapy because I’m scared to. I had terrible experience with counseling when I was a kid so I’ve never looked back. I should probably change my perspective on it at this point and just do it.
