Small Little Things

I’m feeling so anxious now because I cut myself with a potato peeler.I know it sounds stupid but I’m just so anxious when I saw blood.And of course,I think of worst case scenarios immediately.I’ve placed a Band Aid over it so I’m just gonna ignore it for now. I hate this. I hate how I’m freaking out over a stupid cut 😭

Hi keptainicandozatt, a lot of people freak out when they see blood, especially their own. Know that it is our body's way of cleansing the wound from the inside out. Keep the cut clean by using an antibiotic ointment (Neosporin) a clean bandage that is removed at night for the air to heal it. I would think short of it stinging a little today, you should be on your way to recovery. You did good x

Hello!Turns out that I did panic for nothing since the blood stopped oozing out after an hour :) Thank you for the advice though!!It does sting a little,but at least there’s no more blood!
