Anxiety about being poisoned

Does anybody else have high anxiety about being poisoned like if you leave a beverage at your work desk you feel like someone is going to contaminate it? Or obsessed with food being contaminated? Or meat not being cooked well enough/getting food poisoning? This is a huge thing I struggle with every day. Any tips?

Have you tried CBT? It helped me with the different types of obsession I have.

SoraSora

Yes I have! I’m glad that it helps you. I think I may need to practice and talk to someone more with specialty knowledge with that.

I always have intrusive thoughts about wondering if someone at the factory did something to my food before it was sent out 😅.

SoraSora

Me toooo! Or like if I leave my water or coffee unattended at work I get scared someone will poison it.

Janie

yes! i've actually never shared these thoughts with anyone tho. It's nice to feel a little less alone, but im also sorry you have to experience this

SoraSora

I’m also sorry you experience this but I am happy you are finally able to have a place to talk about these things. You are not alone friend ❤️ we can get through this together!
