Please help me! This few months I have been having experiencing anxiety over an issue and I do not know if this is what they call ocd. The story is as below:
A couple of months ago, I consulted a doctor on the topic of leprosy because I was afraid as to whether I have been exposed to it. The doctor reassured me that I wasn't at risk, at first I felt relieved, but after heading home, I thought what if that doctor had been treating a leprosy patient before and did not wash his hands (having cough/sliva on his hands)? I freaked out even more when I remembered that he touched my phone screen before and I did not wash the screen. After that I begun researching deeper and deeper into the topic of leprosy and I was so afraid of passing on the disease to my family.
I know partly that ocd involves rituals and complusions and I tried to convince myself this is my ocd, but the more I tried to reassure myself, the more afraid I became, I am really at a loss now and very terrified. Has anyone experienced something like this? Can anyone help me please?
