I know for certain i have a phobia of passing out, it controls my life and what I do. This phobia also caused me to develop a blood phobia as the last time I passed as was due to imagining an image of blood and it making me Squeamish and then faint. I am constantly worrying if I’m going to pass out it’s always in public unless I cut myself bad at home. But, what made me wonder if it may be OCD is I get really bad intrusive thoughts, I get flashes of gore I really do not want I would say around 5 times an hour and this convinces my brain I’m going to pass out because I’ve “seen blood” and it’s happened before. It causes me to be panicky I’d say like at least 7 times an hour and it’s genuinely exhausting. When I feel like this I then drink water because I’m convinced it’ll make me less likely to pass out or I’ll eat sugar. I also had a dream I passed out at a time ending in :49 which means whenever I see that time on a clock I have to stare at it until it goes away or I will 100% pass out. But I don’t know I do get intrusive thoughts on other things but i don’t wanna say cause they’re quite embarrassing but I don’t know if it’s OCD since I’m mainly worried about one thing which is passing out.
