im a bit of a hypochondriac. and this summer was the first time i slept with someone who wasnt a virgin. so my obsessive compulsion started going.
i had two yeast infections and a uti this summer. that caused me to put a lot of attention on my hooha. which in turn caused me to go to the OBGYN 4 times in the past two weeks to have exams done.
on more than one occasion, she said it was not necessary to get tested for it. she said everything looked normal. but my anxiety doesnt believe her. and its driving me insane. theres not one second of the day i dont think about it and i think im giving myself symptoms.
its debilitating and i feel like im going insane with how much i look "down there" every single day. does anyone have advice?
sorry u are so worried. but my advice is to stop worrying about it. The doctor said everything looks fine. even if you got the virus there’s nothing you can do about it at this point. So worrying about it won’t do you a bit of good. My other bit of advice is never have unprotected sex. it can be very dangerous. There are things way worse than herpes you could contract.
remember, only YOU can make sure you are safe. ! take care of yourself.
Yes. Believe your doctor. You have had tests and you are fine. You can have a million tests done but there must come a point when you believe the results. Your doctor isn’t mistaken or lying to you - why would they?
This is your health anxiety kicking in and you need to tackle this. x
oh gosh the amount of times i have been inn your position u poor thing ! the only way i got over it was my mind would just find something else to obsess about , i learnt to just manifest and project OCD onto something self inflicted like getting a new peircing and obsessing over its healing, or my hair and wben its going to grow lol sounds silly but made me feel more sane then ocd over herpes or a pimple lmao h
