I’ve suffered from PureO essentially since the second i’ve become concious & have always had strange intense fears. i’ve always just been a fearful person of everythinggg. Specifically with bugs. For example: getting random intrusive images of bugs being under stuff, like “what if i pick up this towel and there’s 100 spiders.” “what if a bunch of bugs come crawling out of my shower drain” “what if a roach crawls out this car vent” and i get a image of this stuff actually happening in my head, not like i visually see it but the image in my head does scare me and i begin obsessing over it actually happening. My compulsion now would be i can’t pick up the towel, touch near the shower drain, or i have to close the air vent. I previously went thru a theme similar to this with rabies & fear of bats to the point i couldn’t go outside at night without thinking a bat was going to bite me. Does anyone else suffer something like this??
