Story: Megan (Worries of choking, health anxiety, existential and religious OCD) (#476)

In episode 476 I chat with Megan who has kindly agreed to share her OCD story with us.

We discuss her story, worries of choking, hyperawareness of swallowing, her compulsions, other themes including existential and religious OCD, accepting and navigating relapses, OCD getting in the way of medication, health anxiety and fears of other mental health conditions, low insight, thoughts of suicide, and much more. Hope it helps.
