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?

I can relate, but I don’t have any suggestions to help unfortunately. Just showing you that you are not alone in your fears 🤗

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

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.

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