Obsessive fear for 2 years

2021-04-23 10:15:25
Dear Doctor, I have been suffering from Hypochondriac fears about eyes and skin ( blindness and vitiligo) fear about getting disfigured face, fear about fire and fear about my parents' well being for more than 1 year. Prior to that I have suffered from Hypochondria as well. I have started to compulsively believe and act according to the obsessive belief that hurting myself, and torturing myself. I have an impulsive idea that punishing myself thus would ensure the protection of God. I have gone almost insane. Day by day it is increasing. Whenever I complete a cycle of self-punishment I promise that it all has ended, am protected. But again a voice in my head, after a few days, threatens me and again I begin torturing myself. Self-punishment through humiliation, self-deprivation. I cannot get out of this vicious cycle. Have no power or control over myself. My mental health is ruined. My get no energy. I am dead inside. Life has been a burden. Please help me Doctor. Please help me. 🙏

I suggest you to consult a Psychiatrist immediately.. And later do start therapy with a psychological Counselor for a therapy.. Medication might be useful. Initially along with counselling sessions..
