Rabies

[Tsars4747]

Hello I have been having intrusive thoughts about bats and rabies lately. Tonight I was walking to a gas station from my College because I don’t have a car on campus. It’s warm out in winter so I thought I’d take advantage of the weather. So I was walking and I thought I felt something bite my neck and automatically thought it was a bat. Also two weeks ago I was walking in the hall and thought something touched my arm and thought I heard a bat. Later found two marks on my arm. But I wrestle in college so the marks could of been from wrestling. Idk what to do about the intrusive thoughts. I’m constantly worried I’m gonna get rabies and die and I just want it to stop!:(

The first step is don´t Google it and the second step is go the doctor when you are worried about the rabies. Anxiety in general can give you a lot of weird symptoms. My Health anxiety gives me a kind of dizziness and lower back pain.

Call the doctor when you are afraid of rabies and maybe he can help you with your bat anxiety (many people have bat and rabies anxiety) :). I´m not a rabies specialist, but in Holland it is extremely rare to be bitten by bats in the open.

Take care :hugs:
