Hi guys my name is James and i am 17, about 20 minutes ago i just got a big electric shock through my stomach from my phone charging and i have really bad anxiety and OCD so of course i’ve been looking up on google all the dangers and i’m really worried i’m going to die or something because my stomach is sore a bit but i don’t have any burns or anything. I don’t know if my anxiety is making me feel like this or not

Hey James; welcome to the forum!

I'm sorry this happened; it sounds a bit scary. I'm glad you've asked for support on here. (If it was me I'd have my phone checked by a specialist asap!)

It's good to know you're not showing any major adverse effects, though it might be a good idea to visit your GP to make sure there's nothing to be concerned about.

Your OCD brain will be obsessing and worrying as a normal process, but be sure it's just thoughts ok. Your 'body' will tell you if something's wrong.

I hope this helps James. It's unpleasant to get a shock like that. You're welcome to join in on other threads and find enjoyable/helpful conversations if you're up to it.

Kind thoughts;
