Paranoid...

[MidnightPanic]

Does your anxiety ever make you paranoid out of the blue? I had food delivered to me via uber eats, and the driver got lost because of the GPS. As I was finishing my food, I had this thought, what if they pulled over to spit in or poison my food and that's why they were late? I could track where they were and they pulled into the entrance of a cemetery near me. He text me from the cemetery to say the GPS accidentally took him there. Now i'm sitting here giving myself a panic attack over it. It's like I'm waiting for the first sign of poisoning to kick in. I've had these thoughts before about using services such as uber eats and door dash, but this is the first time in years i let this type of paranoia get to me like this.

Calm down. They got lost. The likelyhood of that happening is very slim. It's very traceable. You will be okay. Take some deep breathes and try to let it go. We are here for you.

Hi ! I hope you are feeling better !

Lately I have been having food contamination fear !

I don’t use Uber eats or door dash but I have problems with normal grocery store food or left overs .

Have you been diagnosed with OCD ? Do you have any other contamination fears ?

Hugs 🤗 !

I wanted to let you know that it tickled me to see that I am not the only one that thinks the most outlandish paranoid thoughts when it comes to protecting myself. I'm not laughing at you at all but I find it kinda funny because I do the exact things. And it's funny how at one point I can actually remember when those things would not have bothered me before or those ideas would have never crossed my mind before the anxiety took over. And just to add, I probably would have come to that same horrid conclusion too if it was me in your situation. Lol. Man I've gotten so bad with my paranoia and OCD of things that I scare myself or get paranoid with things I've done on my own. I've become paranoid about everything from foods I buy, things I touch, things I eat, drink, people who dont look trustworthy. I think everybody is suspect in trying to harm me now. One time I spent money on take out and now since I thoroughly check every little thing, I noticed the lettuce looked a little brown on one side so I threw the whole meal away because I was thinking what if they meant to give me old lettuce and I will get sick. I was so mad and hungry at the same time.

Check out my new broadcast endeavor. I will post new videos every week as I talk about my fears and give words of encouragement and information to help people just like me and we share our struggles. Just another platform for people to communicate and share our fears and help one another as we journey through conquering anxiety and phobias together. I'd like to share my first video of many to come. Check it out if you can. 😊
