Does anyone else feel like someone is going to hurt you when you're anxious even if you're safe?

When my anxiety gets really bad, specifically about the possibility of being in trouble (usually for not bad things, like buying groceries or grabbing water at night) I start to freak out because I'm afraid of being yelled at and sometimes I start flinching at nothing even though I'm alone because in my mind I feel like someone's going to hurt me.

I only delt with sibling abuse for a few years during childhood (3rd-6th grade), I'm 19 now so I don't know why I still feel this way, especially when I know it's not things my sibling would hurt me for.

The fear of yelling mostly just comes from growing up with bipolar parents, they're not bad people but in the past they'd have moments of overreacting and yelling at me or my sibling for long periods of time which scared me really bad.

I don't know why this is happening especially because I am pretty safe right now and I don't think I'm doing anything to get me in trouble. Does anyone else experience this? Or know why it happens?

Thank you and have a wonderful day!!!

Didn't know you weren't supposed to use a lot of Lidocaine lotion and now I'm afraid I'm going to die

My Erythromelalgia was flairing up and I tired it out (4% lidocaine and 1% methanol) and I was like "whoa this feels amazing" so instead of just applying it to my hands, like a freaking idiot I put it everywhere! On my arms, legs, feet, chest, face, neck.

I just got out of the shower after a phone call with poison control. I'm having no symptoms yet but they're going to call back in 5 hours. I'm so scared I don't know what to do. What is things do go wrong? What if I die?

I'm so scared I don't know why I'm so stupid I don't want this please

NOTE: This meme is NOT to say I'm "better" or "edgier" than anyone, I'm just so tired of having friends infantilize and talk down to me when I tell them I read Gen fanfics 🫩 leave me alone!!!!

Again to reiterate, I do NOT think I'm better than anyone or I'm "super different and edgy" for what I read AT ALL, I respect everyone's choices of tags and I think every genre can be great.

it's just EVERY SINGLE TIME a friend finds out I read fanfiction and they ask what ships I read and I say "oh I don't really ship I just read Gen" they always jump into "Ohhh you're so cute and wholesome!!!! I bet you don't even know what ____ means or the ______ AU!!!!" SHUT UP!!!!!! pleaseee for the love of GOD stop acting like I'm a child or call me "pure" or "innocent" I'm SICK of it. DAMN. LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!

ARO/ACE/ASPEC FANFIC READERS UNITE!!!!

(again have nothing against the other tags, if you read or write them I think you are a beautiful and lovely person and you ALSO deserve respect from other readers without being infantilized!!!!)

holy eugenics batman 😬

what on earth? and in the description they say they work with disabled kids for a highschool class 😬 you do realize mentally and physically disabled people can live on to have happy lives that don't fit the able bodied definition of "normal and happy"??? oh my god....

(also sorry I tried to censor as much of the face as I could as per the rules, hopefully this is okay?)

If I dye my hair colorful will it change others perception of me as chronically ill? should I just leave my hairs natural hair color?

Today I saw a video of a person who experiences chronic pain in their knees needing to leave class early to take a stair lift to the next class.

Everyone is dog piling on the person because they have dyed hair and piercings, but the thing is I'm pretty sure schools won't even allow you accomodations like that without a doctor's note?? (at least my school was very strict about it) so despite everything seeming legitimate, people are saying "diagnosed by discord" and "I believed you until I saw the hair"???

I've always wanted to dye my hair purple because I'm a very colorful person (think miss frizzle from magic school bus or mable from gravity falls) but now I'm afraid to...

I already get enough shit-talking about my health conditions dressing semi-normal albeit colorful, mainly because I'm young (despite the fact those same people have seen my tremors and slurred speech happen in real time) and I really don't want to make it worse than it already is :(

What is your experience with hair dye? Are people really that cruel if you're disabled with dyed hair? :(

Thank you and have a wonderful day!!
