I'm really scared I've poisoned myself... ....I dyed my hair yesterday evening and had a shower after and some of the water was still stoned with the dye. This evening I had a shower and the after still seemed a bit tinted. Some of the water (that must have gone through my dyed hair) ran down my face and into my mouth. I spat out a few times and I accidently swallowed. I'm now really worried am going to die in my sleep from poisoning :(

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!

Trigger warning yet again, I posted this a few days ago but noone replied! Does anyone else worry they've put bleach in their drinks etc, or that you've swallowed glass by accident and you start retracing your steps etc? Or anything like this? Is this contamination ocd?

Help! :( I'm freaking out. So I probably do have an eating disorder (not diagnosed), I have been stuck in binge eating (without purging) cycle for a couple of months now, before that I was purging/throwing up . Anyway I just now I threw up pizza I binged on, and I didnt SEE any blood unless it was blood but I thought it was pizza sauce.. But after I was done I tasted a metallic bloody taste. I didnt strain very hard, it wasnt painful but I'm scared I've cut something open and now I'll internally bleed to death or something. I'm freaking out :( I drank water and most of the taste went. Idk :( I'm scared :(

Kinda scared 😞

So I was eating dinner and drinking soda. After I was done drinking it I pulled the soda cap off (the thing on the soda cans you pull up to open the can) and I realized there was a tiny piece of metal that fell into the can. I went to go a drink another sip but then realized that the tiny piece of tin was still in their. I immediately spit out the drink. But now I’m so scared I accidentally swallowed that tiny piece. I keep replaying what happened in my head to see what happened but I can’t remember and now I’m scared it’s gonna poison me and I’m gonna not wake up tomorrow 😭 I’m just having time dealing with the uncertainty rn
