First time poster on this site and I know I probably need some help but I want some of your guys opinion's first. I know I suffer from anxiety because I worry about the littiest things all the time. I worry about stuff that range from dying of an infectious disease to just getting stuff done on time and then ending up wasting too much time because I give myself 6 hours to do something and it only takes me 2.
It's kinda embarrasing here because I have severely worried about having diseases which range from aids (i've never had sex) to rabies (never been bit). I once ate something in middle school that was unopened and I worried for about 6 months that I had aids or something because I didn't know where it came from even though it was in the vending machine.
About 9 months ago I was walking home from a friend's house extremely drunk and while walking down this road I jumped in a ditch to avoid a car seeing me. I sprained my knee pretty bad when I landed and the next morning I had a bunch of scratches in all different directions over my legs. I know it was from a thorn bush that I walked through while in the ditch but then a few days later, I was like, maybe I got bit or something when I was down there. I don't remember walking home except I remember jumping in the ditch and going through the bush so i'm sure I would've remember getting bit by an animal and I didn't worry for a while but these past few days I started worrying maybe I had rabies again for some completely odd reason. That is a lot of the reason i'm here trying to get advice from you guys. Sure, I know I probably don't have rabies and stuff but I don't know why I worry about it. Everytime I say, obviously there wasn't an animal that bit me, I say well I dont remember for sure when I was walking home so who knows. Now i've been feeling bad, e.G. Tingling and numbess in hands and arms, a little sore throat, sweating a lot, a little shaking and I say well maybe these are symptoms to some disease although I know it's probably anxiety. I think I may have had a panic attack because of this worrying? I don't know what to do.
I also suffer from ocd but i've been getting better at that lately. The reason i'm on here is because i'm a popular guy, well liked and such and nobody knows what is going on with me, everyone just thinks i'm that nice, genuine guy which I am but they don't know about my anxiety and ocd and I don't want them to but I know I need help. I don't know why I worry about the strangest things sometimes like aids and rabies and other such things. Could someone please give me advice on what to do, I would appreciate it greatly because I know I need to do something about this because everything else in my life is going very well.
