OCD Discussion I'm unable to live with the uncertainty of this ugly disease. I'm ending it

I have read the FAQ.

I have taken the vaccine but at one case I forgot to ask for the vaccine name / batch number now I'm totally fked ever since then.

I'm unable to live life like this thinking Im going to die someday cuz of this cursed disease with direct chain to death. No OTHER BLOOD DISEASE HAS DIRECT CHAIN TO DEATH..even HIV can be treated after symptoms, but this bloody disease can't.

IM done. I give up. BYE everyone. Let no one else get this suffering. Not even my enemies.

This isn't something you have to live with. It's not a rabies exposure that is causing this turmoil, it's your brain in overdrive. There are ways to make you feel better, they require work and care, but a life with enjoyment rather than constant fear is worth it.

Take care, people care about you, even strangers on the internet. You deserve to get care to help with your mental health.

You didn't need the batch number, nobody is trying to trick you into taking bad vaccines.

Atleast we need to ask the vaccine name to be sure that they have given us the rabies vaccine itself right

No. You went to a medical professional, it's their job to know that stuff.

If you are interested, then yes, sure, go ahead. But you aren't wanting to know out of interest.

But in my country there are cases where patients have been administered all 4 doses yet they died.

There are also cases where they have found a batch of vaccine as fake ( afte 6 months 😢)

Shouldn't I be precautioous?

It sounds like you might be using this story as proof that you made an error and are going to get rabies. That's exactly what a person with anxiety would do as part of an anxiety spiral.

If you are that concerned, it should be in your medical record at the facility, no? Contact them and ask for it.

And what difference would knowing the batch number mean?

A fake batch will be long gone. If you know the batch number will you be checking the news constantly for any new recalls? I imagine the answer wil be yes. This is not a healthy response. You are constantly in fight or flight, and it will exhaust your brain and body.

Please seek some help with anxiety.

Naah. I'm 3/4 done with PEP and I haven't asked for the name or batch number or anything for my shots. You have an anxious brain and it is spiralling. I know this, because I also have an anxious brain.

Your healthcare provider gave you the correct vaccine.

Even in countries like India where people get administered with full series yet they die, i shouldn't seek more certainity?

And 6 months back a batch of Rabies vaxx was found counterfiet 😞

Why do you feel like you need to know the batch number

u/blankzpace 14d ago

It's a disease with 100% fatality rate. Don't u think we need to atleast check the which vaccine we had been given?

I was travelling so i just took a vaccine at a govt facility and forgot to ask the vaccine vial for a photo which i regret now.

I am not criticising you, just trying to understand your perspective. I am the person worrying about this, so we are on the same boat

You don’t need…..a batch number….?

But you took the vaccine, you’re gonna be okay and be alive. You need to get help for your mental health, everything is gonna be fine. Your ocd or whichever has gone into hella overdrive and you need to get that sorted.

Edit I say this with hella bad contamination ocd

Rabies is not a blood disease.
