Hello folks. I'll just start this by saying I have diagnosed OCD. It often focuses on my relationship, my sensuality among other things. I also have general anxiety, worry and panic.
My question is it possible to have ocd about something that is an actual thing.
At the moment I have some normal worries about issues with my teeth, I have to have lots of dental work done and it's very expensive. I am now hyperfocused on them and have become worried about other teeth which I now think feel wrong in my mouth. I saw my hygienist who said they could see nothing but to ask my dentist at my next appointment. I cannot stop thinking about it to the point of extreme anxiety. No amount of reasoning, figuring out potential solutions, finding reasons for my symptoms, is helping. I'm so exhausted by it.

The process my brain is going through feels like my past OCD but the content is an actual real thing. I don't know what strategies to use because if it is worry not ocd then they're are very different approaches.

So sorry for the long post. Hope tou are all well x
