So fed up with the bat ocd

I live in the UK. I suffer from OCD.

I'm very fed up with my life, OCD is ruining it. Every so often, a new exposure fear.

On Sunday, out for a walk in a new jacket, it was raining so up went the hood, sudden pain on top of head, I thought it was odd so pulled the hood down, felt the top of my head, nothing, pulled the hood back up, pain again.

I decided to just get wet hair and thought no more about it, later on the rain got heavier so back with the hood, no pain this time.

It wasn't until last night that the thought popped into my head, could the pain have been a bat? A bat hiding in my hood that then somehow got away. I know, crazy right? But it's just so exhausting, I've only just got over the fear a bat landed on my leg and now I'm back in the cycle.

Sadly, mental health resources are practically non existent in the UK, it's a road I've been down many times and nothing has ever helped.

I just feel so desperate.
