Since I was 15 years old I have dreamed about getting a tragus piercing. But every time I’m about to book an appointment, I chicken out.

I have really bad health anxiety and I fear my ear will fall of or that I will die from a bad case of cartilage infection or something like that. I’m a somewhat sensible person and my logic tells me it won’t happen, but every single time I let myself dream about a little diamond in my tragus my anxiety takes over.

I’m in my late thirties now, and maybe it’s just to late for me now.

I don’t know what kind of advice I’m looking for - maybe some encouragement or help to just let it go.
