I am a 14 year old.I am quite an above average student and care about my fitness,diet,screen time and study and I have been able to do those quite efficiently,I would say.But,you see there is a problem.I am quite vulnerable to unlikely catastrophic disease related situations.I am giving you an example(It has happened).One day,a thought struck me about rabies(it was a negative one involving around myself),I decided to research on it on Google, and I found results that striked my mind even more towards the negative side.I spent thinking about it for 5 days and it became a habit.I was worrying day and night about it.That was the starting.Now,I am worrying everyday about bats and unnoticed exposure-"What if I get a bat bite or scratch without noticing and I get rabies,then?So I must check all the corners of my house and take necessary action",and the possibility of maybe having any life threatening disease in some way or the other.I know it sounds idiotic and stupid,but I have to take action,right?It's draining my time and energy.I can't seem to ignore it even though I can but that same 'what if' pattern comes-"What if I ignore it and something happens?".This compulsion towards checking corners is making me seem awkward in front of others, and they will think I am weird or something.Please,guys,if you have any solution,please reach out,please.I will be very grateful if you do so.
