Patient's question:
I also don't know if the child swallowed a piece of fuzz or a small thread. The child shows no abnormalities, but I keep thinking about this every day, feeling so painful. I'm troubled by this every day, feeling as if the sky is about to fall. I'm in a constant state of sadness. What should I do? The child is fine, but I keep feeling guilty and regretful for not watching the child closely. It's because I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, so I always suppress the urge to check the child's throat. When I was checking the child's throat, I didn't notice a piece of fuzz or a small thread on my hand—whether it was from my clothes or something else. I accidentally put it in her mouth while checking her throat. I feel so guilty and regretful. Am I really annoying?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you are experiencing guilt again. If your feelings interfere with your life, practice, and training, then please put aside your so-called "face" and visit the hospital for follow-up promptly. Do not hide from mental illness. For example, psychological therapy: explanatory psychotherapy, relaxation therapy, behavioral therapy, and hypnotherapy can be used. For instance, medication, including anti-anxiety medications/emotional stabilizers, etc.
