Weirdest Anxiety Paradoxes
What are your weirdest anxiety paradoxes?
For example, for me it's that I'm afraid of getting sick/germs but I also don't really care if my house is dirty. I'll wash my hands three times before eating something but I'll put on makeup with my hands after touching my phone (which arguably has the most bacteria of anything in my house).
I'm also in a situation right now where my brain started focusing on my bathroom trips and now I have the feeling that I need to go all the time... from thinking about my bathroom trips (there is no medical reason for this issue according to my doctors). Have you ever had a obsession that just came and went on it's own?
