'My OCD made me think I was a murderer who had AIDS'
Rose Stokes, 31, says she hit 'breaking point' which made her book an emergency appointment to see a psychiatrist to receive helpROSE Stokes, 31, says OCD made her think she was a murderer and told her to jump in front of a moving train.
“I hadn’t always harboured such thoughts. It was triggered by an emotionally abusive two-year relationship, during which my boyfriend would gaslight me into thinking I’d imagined his bad behaviour and that I was in the wrong, making me question my own sanity. Convinced I was causing the relationship to fail, I broke up with him in November 2016, as I thought he deserved better.
“Over the next 12 months, things went into overdrive. If I had a headache, it must have been incurable brain cancer. If I felt unwell I was sure I had AIDS. I’d spend hours Googling symptoms and treatments. “By September 2017, I’d reached breaking point. I was convinced I’d killed someone, despite being unable to recall any details. I’d grown so petrified that the police were about to turn up at my door to arrest me, I even considered going to the police station myself.lagued by insomnia and anxiety, and worried I might harm myself – or that I’d already hurt someone else – I made an emergency appointment to see a psychiatrist.
