It’s weird as someone who has OCD watching society partake in behaviours that, if I did them, would be considered relapses that I’d have to work through with a therapist. Put ‘I’m worried about catching an illness so I bulk bought hand sanitiser’ in the context of mental illness

My hand washing thing that I have been managing to get out of had come back in a big way this week.

Ugh I’m really sorry but not at all surprised. For me, it’s legitimising my belief that leaving the house is dangerous. I’m sure there are a lot of mentally ill people struggling right now

Yeah I had a hard time with allergies last year. Was hard. Now this...idk, combined with health anxiety it’s messing me up. I can only imagine how hard it this for you and others :/

I think the worst risk is to people without diagnoses or self-awareness of their condition who are finding this rhetoric is legitimising all their fears. I bet it’s pushing people further into compulsion.
