Hello.
Im from Lithuania. I believe that i have OCD. About 5 days ago I was traveling by bus and accidently fallen asleep. While sleeping i felt sharp pain on my neck, opened my eyes, closed it and immediately fallen asleep again. My trip was short, about 30 minutes, so i was in light sleep phase, and heard everything what was happening around me. When I left bus I immediately started thinking about rabies, that a bat bit me while I was sleeping in the bus and I haven't saw it becouse I was sleeping. When I looked at my neck I saw a red mark (probably mosquito bite) and thought that this is bat bite mark, so my fear became even bigger. In the bus there was more people but they were siting away from me. It was also about 18 h in the evening and it's extremely rare that bat would be out at this time (and even super extremely rare that bat would be out at this time in the bus). Also I did research and found that there are no rabies transmission cases from bat to human in my country, also there are only 15 bat species (all microbats) in my country from witch only 1-3 can make a wound. There are no recommendations in my country that you need to get pep if you find flying bat in your bedroom after waking up. And lastly I found that bats rarely attack humans (even rabid) so if there was bat in the bus probability that it would bite me is still very small. So if we would like to calculate a probability that a bat bit me, probably we would get it with lots lots of zeros after decimal mark (0.0000...). I believe it would be even smaller than a probability that a lightning will hit me 2 times in a row. But still I can't live in peace and everyday im thinking that rabid bat bit me. I don't know what to do. Somehow I dont want to go to psychiatrist becouse I believe that he will think that im stupid.
