Hey guys,

Recently I discovered something that I am definitely experiencing which is the obsessive fear of having another OCD flare up, which is known as Meta OCD.

Recently, I have been far more paranoid about having another anxiety/OCD flare up than I am about my original fears coming true.

I also found out that this obsession stems from the trauma of your own symptoms which definitely applies to me.

It sort of sucks and it feels like you can truly never escape this thing. But still feels great to finally get some more information on this theme.

Dear Dannii91,

That sounds scary. I have never experienced the same thing, but sometimes I get extreme anxiety fearing anxiety. I am sorry about the distressing experiences you have with OCD and Meta OCD!

Sincerely yours, Yao Wen

I have not heard about meta OCD and it looks like it is very scary. You should see a therapist and try CBT or ERP therapy. I hope it will help you
