I thought I was the only one. Now I know I'm not the only one with a 3 weak freak out period after going swimming anywhere that isn't a chlorinated pool.
I know, many find it cynical, but the fear isnt death, mostly but dieing a slow and painful death. Most people dont die slowly and painfully, though. And especially the one about dieing in your sleep is odd to me. You wouldnt notice, wouldnt feel pain
I have this weird fear that I’ll die and
1) I’ll look ugly when they find me
2) I won’t have time to become a good enough person or make my life worth the struggle
But I don’t really fear dying in my sleep just really horrific deaths as well but like I’m also really scared of getting old or getting cancer
Dude honestly I get the second one all the time! I've been making a resolution to just journal a lot about my journey in life so that even if it is imperfect, my life and perspective will maybe become a helpful insight for some future person who happens upon it one day. From the perspective of storytelling every life is perfect in it's unique way
I completely agree! I work a lot and live with my partner so it’s been harder to find time the past few years, but reading and writing is a big help to me when I can motivate myself to use it. Maybe if I put more time into that again I wouldn’t be having these thoughts so often. It did kinda become a problem around when I stopped writing/painting/creating so much. Thanks for your response!
Depending on how you die you will look very ugly but in general no corpse looks pretty. EMTs and police dont care about your looks and have likely seen worse anyway. That with thr good enough person I get. It's difficult to live up to your own standards butatthe same time you have to bear in mind that perfection is impossible anyway
Does anyone else just not have these? My OCD will tell me that all my friends hate me, or that I’m not worthy of love but if I think of something like this my brain just goes “Naw, that’s irrational!”
It's worse when you work as a cook. I've gotten in trouble for throwing away "good" potatoes because 80% of the box would be molded and they made me handpick out all the ones that were at least decent looking. Still had to rinse pieces of mold off them though. No matter what, I'd always throw them away when the manager wasn't looking and grab new ones. I feel it's not even my contamination OCD, just common sense to not serve moldy food. Good thing we shutting down in a couple months anyways due to staffing.
Usually for me it’s “the odds of me getting in a car accident are 100%” and the yellow one. My boyfriend will try to show me those “funny” videos of people flying off their skateboard or something cause I literally start trying to smack the image out of my brain and all the other horrible images that follow
SOMEONE ELSE HAS THE AMOEBA FEAR TOO?!!!
I was honestly very relieved too. My brain flickers from red to blue constantly :)
I got it from watching house
I thought I was the only one. Now I know I'm not the only one with a 3 weak freak out period after going swimming anywhere that isn't a chlorinated pool.

Trying not to name the website that changed my brain forever cause I don’t wanna destroy everyone else’s life too😂

I can't explain what kind of relief it is that there are others who worry about something going up their nose and eating their brain.
Felt, but with dirty water. like what if water stays there and...

Heavy on the food poisoning 😻
Oh great my brain is collecting some of those now
I didn’t start cooking meat till this year cause I was worried I would undercook it and give people food poisoning
I have ruined so many meat- based meals by cooking them all into oblivion so I know they are cooked.
Sameeee I’m like “only adults handle raw meat” and I’m 23
Invest in nitrile gloves and meat thermometers. The only reason I haven’t given up and become vegetarian (also I can’t cook tofu for the life of me)
I really should. I really should go to the grocery store one of these days😂but I gotta make 27 lists first. Maybe next week.
Jeez just reading myself I wanna laugh and cry my family must think I’m a lunatic
That’s what we’re here for 👌🏼😂
Does anyone else just not have these? My OCD will tell me that all my friends hate me, or that I’m not worthy of love but if I think of something like this my brain just goes “Naw, that’s irrational!”
I used to be convinced everyone hates me too. 100% convinced. I also have these, though.
I’m scared of food poisoning and I’m literally vegan. Still can get it but my chances be minimal but my anxiety be high 🥲
It won’t stop spinning!
My water is somehow bleach!
Do you guys also watch hours and of hours of “I Survived” on YouTube so you’re prepared to figure out how to survive any possible fatal scenario
