I need someone to slap me, please

Yesterday I went to an ORTHO doctor, because i mechanically hurt my wrist, and the pain was getting worse, together with swelling.. The x ray was taken, and then the doctor said he would give me a combination of steroid + lidocaine shot, to calm it down so it can heal.

He went out, he brought the shot himself, and he personally gave me the shot, because the spot was sensitive ( a big vain there). The shot itself was very painful.

Later I started ruminating if there was something suspicious in the shot ( syringe), other than lidocaine and steroid ( like somebody's spit, or something) - because I did not see it being prepared. I know this is utterly ridiculous and also pathetic, but, I suffer from severe clinical OCD, that is why I think this and ruminate. It is horrible.

Can one of the Forum's senior admins / members just scream at me, telling me that I am being ridiculous, please? It actually would work, I just want to stop intrusive thoughts.

I was thinking of going back to the clinic, to ask, but I would be hugely ashamed, so that tells you everything.

Thank you so much in advance, whoever responds.

You're being completely ridiculous, yes.

Is there something else bothering you?

BlueIris, thank you very much!

Well, as to other thing - a lot in my life makes me pretty unhappy. I have also had anxiety growing recently, and I am truly trying my best to control it as much as I can. As you know, nobody likes to be like this, miserable most of the time.

But - thank you again, I needed some of you guys to be harsh with me, and that it exactly what you did.

I am moving on from this shameful thought, that is it. I will later go for a long walk, will make nice dinner...As many f us here : one day at the time.

Dinner and a walk sound lovely.

Don't beat yourself up over it? It was a thought that took hold, and now you've dismissed it.

Sending love and good wishes.

That is so nice of you, really, and thank you. You made me feel better.

I am sending you the same. The Forum is so precious, and, as I said before, I feel privileged to be comforted by you guys here.
