Re: Inspired by #1 - anxiety!

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you for understanding but also sorry about it. Yeah yeah, truthfully my phobia was very mild pre-pandemic but those triggers remained so I was afraid it might come back full force and hoo boy it did. Most people hear germophobia and think "your house must be spotless!" yes haha, let's just not talk about the corpses of insects that have been there for months because I just don't want to touch them.

But it's so hard for people to "get" it; the Aviator is the only work I have ever seen portray it accurately since it's based on a real story I guess. The protagonist refusing to go outside so he had to pee in bottles is how little sense it all makes.

AYRT

For me the Covid pandemic was mostly fine because I'm always mildly virus/germophobic. It was strange seeing other people looking at the world like me, like seeing germs and viruses everywhere. I was mostly OK because people sneezing in from of me always made me think of infectious diseases and death, even before Covid, so I was like "UUUH... same business as always I guess" /shrug

But I completely lost it when I couldn't find my brand of disinfectant and soap anywhere in my city, because suddenly everyone was like me and buying my specific type of soap. That was rough.

As for spotless houses: LOL. My shower is very dirty and I can't bring myself to clean it. I hate it when there is even a single stray hair in hotel's shower, but in mine? I don't care. It's my dirt. It's all OK.
But then every time I touch the ground or a rusty piece of metal I immediately think I'm going to die by tetanus, ahaha. WHY, BRAIN?!

I will look into the Aviator! I don't know if I'll be able to watch it tough...

Yeah I mean I think that's how it felt for all of us. But then they started NOT CARING again and realizing how much they don't actually care in their day to day lives made my own issues (which hadn't been bothering me in over ten years except for the aforementioned triggers and some more like puking .. :( ) come back. Like "everyone is careless so I need to do thrice as much!!!!!" you know. And then social anxiety said "heyyy my old friend" and things spiralled.

Oh ......... yes I mean. Don't even mention everything I should be cleaning pleeease ........ sometimes I bring myself to do it and it is SO PLEASING but most of the time I will try to simply not use the thing so I don't have to even think of cleaning it because cleaning is anxiety-inducing in itself. Which well rationally I know not cleaning it is the wrong choice if you want to fight germs and it feels bad to live in a messy place. But then brain does the brain thing and "what if I just don't touch it and avoid the enemy in the same room?" seems like a great choice.
