@ocdbrian: Health anxiety OCD is not being a little worried about your health. It is standing at your own sink at midnight, feeling for a lump in your throat, and being unable to prove it is not there. Here is the part that is hard to explain. The check works. For about four seconds. Then your brain asks whether you pressed in the right spot, or whether the thing you felt moved, and you cannot prove either. So you press harder. Then harder again. I went in to brush my teeth. I watched the window get light instead. If your brain does this to you, it is treatable, and I really wish I had believed that sooner. I keep recommending Choiceful because the course is built 100% around your specific theme instead of generic anxiety tips, and the 24/7 therapy chat is there for the nights the doubt will not close. Users see clinically significant improvement in OCD symptoms. #ocd #obsessivecompulsivedisorder #ocdawareness #ocdrecovery #MentalHealth #mentalillness #anxiety
