Is this pure-o OCD?

[KristenThompson92]

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?

Hi there, I am so sorry you are going through this. I am not a doctor. JGF25  is away right now and I am trying to help.

This kind of problem could be a part of generalized anxiety/OCD.  Anxiety/OCD has many levels. There is very mild all the way to types you have actually heard about.  In the middle there are people who count everything or have to turn the lights off and on a certain amount of times before leaving a room. I know there are people that have to lock their door a certain amount of times to ward off a break in.
I hope you can talk to someone.  I am surprised your doctor didn't bring it up.

I can definitely sympathize. One day, out of the blue I started to have panic attacks. Couldn't catch my breath, thought I was going to pass out. Really scary. I don't have them anymore but the anxiety is always with me.

Good luck
