Anxious!!!!

[raj93]

I am suffering from hypochondriasis and ocd and anxiety.


My idiotic question now is.


I have been taking rabies vaccines for an unwanted reason(according to my doc)but my question is I have completed 5 doses of vaccine  and until now  I had fears that . Immunoglobulin should be used(I myself know it was not needed since I had a lick in an healed wound,my doctor too said I am thinking very irrationally and said immunoglobulin is not needed)

So I completed the vaccines yesterday.Today I am thinking what if the first vaccine which was constituted by an nurse in which she might have just injected me with distilled water and did not mix the solvent powder(it was injected by a doctor just nurse constituted it)I know nurses have great knowledge but my mind thinks like this)

The other four injections were put by an doctor so my mind is not questioning it.

When I asked the doctor who put me the four vaccines he said I am really crazy and irrational it is not possible to happen and how would a nurse miss a solvent powder since many vaccines are put this way.

Help me friends!!!!

Yes my risk was lick on a healed wound by a puppy dog.(not a risk a lick,a lick on open or fresh wound is a risk according to who)

But I took the vaccines.

Now  I am. Thinking what if the nurse did not mix the powder with the diluted water and just injected me with diluted water,but it is not possible rite?What will the nurse do with the vial containing the powder?Forget it?or hide it or put it in dustbin?I am very confused and depressed.

Yes my ocd has come to the point where it is making the decisions in my life.

Well, I think it's clear that your focus is on the wrong thing.  Instead of focusing on rabies treatment that you most likely don't need (what was your exposure?)...you should be putting your effort and energy toward addressing the anxiety, irrational thoughts and OCD.  

What's concerning is that you've managed to convince a doctor to actually give you rabies treatments (which come with their OWN risks) when it wasn't warranted...based solely on attempts to quell your intrusive thoughts and anxiety.  Your anxiety has actually gotten to the point where you're making decisions that can be harmful to you, which if you can appreciate the irony, goes against the original fear that you would be harmed by rabies to begin with.

I really strongly urge you to get some intensive professional help.  You have a doctor (if not more than one) telling you that your thought processes aren't rational, and I would agree.

You've allowed your fears and OCD to cause you to take ACTUAL risks with your health versus the perceived risk you originally started with.  You need the help of a professional and probably medications to get your OCD to a more manageable place.

Good luck to you.

Calm down! I think your doctor is correct and you were given the injections properly... You are going to be just fine.
