Hi! I have dyed my hair since early high school (now 25). Even after a few washes youll sometimes still see the color in the water and that’s totally normal. Our skin is our biggest organ, and people touch and shower with hair dye daily! Unless youre chugging it (lol) it’s totally safe! Ive used every brand and type of dye along with attending cosmology school. Alot of people dye with no gloves either!

I have this worry everytime I dye my hair !! The same happens to me, I wash and traces still come out and it’s run down my face near my eyes and mouth. Once I’m out the shower I just either brush my teeth or rinse my mouth out with cold water. You won’t get poisoned by it! You haven’t swallowed any I know it feels like u have but you haven’t! If it was that lethal that you could die from swallowing it the way you’ve described they wouldn’t be aloud to sell it, please try not worry you are ok!

Sorry if this is tmi. In advance, I know some germs are fine - I'm all for that, and it definitely does ease some contamination anxiety. But I have lots of anxiety surrounding going to the bathroom, specifically number two. Again I'm so sorry if this is tmi. I went yesterday, and obviously my hands were contaminated because well, they are when you go to the bathroom. But also because I accidentally brushed the back of my hand against myself. When you're done in the bathroom you obviously put underwear back on, and trousers or whatever, but I wash my hands before touching my trousers but not underwear. So I do that bit before I wash my hands, but my hand, the very contaminated part, touched like a bit of my skin at my waist. At the time, I brushed it off, thinking that my trousers will cover that anyway for the time being. But then today, I wore leggings that are kind of small on me and they weren't as high waisted. And then I got in my bed, and had a t-shirt on, and probably touched so many things. I changed my t-shirt, meaning it touched my hair as I took it off. So now I'm paranoid I have poop particles all over me. I'm convinced I need to have a full shower again and wash my hair. I'm okay with having a shower, but I barely have enough energy for that let alone washing my hair too. I don't shower every day, so with my schedule, I'm not due to have one until tonight. I just want to be able to get up, get dressed, and go about my day. But how do I do that when my bed feels contaminated and I feel like I need to change the bedsheets. How do I cope when it feels like poop particles are in my HAIR. And that could totally be possible. I know some germs are fine. But I just don't know what to do.

So today I was at my grandmas and she was showing me her flowers outside I have a cat at home and looked up the flower she showed me I didn’t touch the flower but I was standing by the flower it’s a mildly poisonous flower to cats called Geraniums I obviously washed my hands even though I didn’t even touch it but should I wash my hair also or am I overthinking it I just washed my hair otherwise I would just take a shower I did shower but didn’t wash my hair but is it necessary to wash my hair? Or am I overthinking.

I posted here before but I picked up a kitten like a week ago on the road. The kitten is completely fine health wise and I can’t stop thinking I have rabies. What’s happening right now is I’ll take a drink and since I looked up that ppl with rabies have a hard time drinking I convinced myself I’m having a hard time swallowing and then that makes me panic then when I also read it makes ppl hydrophobic I’m turning that panic of thinking I have rabies into thinking I’m scared of water which furthers my obsession that I have rabies. I told my mom about all this and she told me I definitely do not have rabies just like she told me yesterday and it’s not helping and it won’t help. I’m thinking of doing the rabies shot that you get before you show symptoms in case i haven’t actually showed symptoms yet. I’m so scared I don’t want to die. I keep drinking water to prove to myself that I can swallow it. And the fact that you cant have a definite answer if u have it until you die is rlly rlly rlly freaking me out.
