Please Make Dua for My OCD and Emetophobia

Serious 🛑

I have no one to help me please make dua for me..I am.begging you don't delete.

Assalamu alaykum. I’m struggling badly with OCD and emetophobia, and I would really appreciate some advice from my fellow Muslims.

My OCD has connected vomiting with having my mouth open. Things like using open-mouth/laughing emojis 😂, taking or posting pictures where my mouth is open, or worrying that someone might photograph me that way can trigger a lot of anxiety. I know there is no basis for this belief, but the fear feels very real.

I’m trying to work on this through gradual exposure and stop avoiding things, but it’s honestly very difficult. I recently deleted some pictures because I got overwhelmed, and I felt like I had failed.

If anyone has struggled with similar waswas, magical thinking, or OCD, how did you deal with it Islamically while also working on the OCD?

Please keep me in your duas. May Allah cure us from our waswas, grant us tranquility, and make things easy for us. Ameen.
