What’s wrong with me

Every since i was young I’ve had this nagging feeling, like something bad is going to happen to me and everyone around me. If sth bad did happen then I’d blame myself of it and that little voice would say see i told you so. I’m really lost and i dont know what to do. Now because of COVID I’m stuck at home and alone with that voice and it’s really getting to me. Today for some reason, my phone played some sort of music out-loud and i have no apps running in the background. So that made me even more paranoid like i got a virus or sth. But I’ve never visited any dodgy website and downloaded any dodgy apps. So i did a virus scan on avg and the security app that came with my phone and both said its safe? So why did the music play? Because I couldn’t find the cause of the problem it made me panic like that it wasn’t a good feeling at all. I hate feeling like this all the time. Feeling so paranoid and feeling like it’s my fault every time. If somehow you are an expert with phones could you please help me with that? Is it a virus? What do it do? Pls help me so i can relief that little burden off my shoulders. Please. Help me

Hi H-c,

Sorry you are feeling this way..

I understand anxiety I had severe anxiety OCD……. OCD is obsessive compulsive disorder it’s an anxiety disorder……….. my disorder started with intrusive thoughts… I would also do compulsions eg… seeking reassurance………..

OCD is a vicious cycle but you can learn to be free of its grips with the correct help……

Have you seeked professional help? I’d recommend you see your gp and discuss with them what s happening with you……

I did an 8 week group therapy for my OCD it was the best thing I ever did…. I’ve now recovered from this condition….
