Alright, so.. I've had an anxiety problem ever since I was little. Mine's mostly episodic, but if I keep myself busy I don't generally have time to focus on what it is that's freaking me out. I do have a tendency to go and look up diseases, if I'm experiencing symptoms of something, and can be a bit of a hypochondriac sometimes though.
Anyways, right now I'm freaking out about rabies.. My 5 year old outdoor/indoor cat just scratched me on the hand (she had been licking her paws beforehand). It's a small scratch and almost started healing the minute I put it under warm water, but this month is when my cat is supposed to get her 3 year rabies shots (she hasn't gotten them yet) and we got the vet letter in the mail a few weeks ago. I know it's really unlikely, but still, the fact that she scratched me and just now needs her rabies shots is freaking me out a little.
Should I have a cause for concern, or am I just being a hypochondriac?
