Last week my roommate was scratched (barely) by a stray cat. Then a few days later I shared a cup with her. Since then I've been obsessed with the possibility that I could have rabies. It seriously is taking up every minute of my day. I spent $200 on doctors who nearly all told me I'm fine. Eff you, OCD.
My pdoc called me last night and explained why my chances of getting rabies are nil and ended with a commanding "YOU DO NOT HAVE RABIES!" Yes, sir! Still I can't relieve myself of this worry. It's ruining my life in Cairo so far. I really hate OCD.

I know the feeling well. I was at a business conference when a man (he was with his wife) beside me sneezed hard...directly into my right eye. I convinced myself that he had given my something like AIDS and was worried for awhile. Not a good feeling. I sympathize.

Do you have a doc there in Egypt, or did you call your doc in the States? If you're getting paranoia already, what precautions are you taking to ensure you're safe over there?
Just trying to care and make sure you're safe, not trying to tell you what to do.

I'm so sorry the OCD monster is tormenting you. I hope you'll be able to accept soon that you do not have rabies.

Google rabies. Find out for yourself that you don't have it. Take control of the situation.
