Hi.
I’m 36 and Really struggling
at the minute with OCD ( mainly germs and contamination etc) and a lot of health anxiety. Somewhat ironically I was at medical school but have had to defer for a year as it was all a bit too much.
Not sure where the OCD stems from but the anxiety I imagine is because I’ve had a tough few years, I lost my sister in an accident and my husband was diagnosed with brain cancer and had to have surgery/radiotherapy/ chemo.
I think the bottom line is I’m just terrified of anything bad happening..To me, because I worry about who would care for my husband and parents and to anyone else as losing my sister was utterly horrendous and I don’t think I could handle grief again.

I apologise for the rambling nature of this post but my head is so full of these horrendous worries that I’m eager to eventually write them down. I’m exhausted, OCD/anxiety/ worrying is a full time job.
