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

Last week I ate out of a broken glass bowl and thought I ate some and had intrusive thoughts about my insides being cut. ERP says to face the fear. I thought: "Okay, so what if I get cut inside?" Well, I can handle going to the hospital. It will suck, but surgery is just that. "What if I die?" Well, then I die! I can't control reality. :) And nothing happened. The thing is, we all have it within us to handle unfortunate things in life. We have no other choice. 🧡

@cheerio32 I’m feeling much better about the situation. It was early in the day so if something was clearly wrong I would have known them. And I only started feeling “weird” when I thought of the situation! Thank you for your advice! ☺️

@Peanut.pie Glad you are doing better! Just so you know for peace of mind in the future... nurses here have seen kids swallow all sorts of random things like coins, batteries, pieces of metal, glass, and more. It is so common, and the kids are usually just fine. 😌 I'm not saying this for reassurance, but scientifically, the body is designed to remove foreign objects very well, so no worries.

@cheerio32 Thank you for that advice and peace of mind! 😌 I am doing much better at accepting any uncertainty about the situation. And really right now I’m kinda just going “oh ok ocd lets see what happens” thanks again 🫶

Bro this exact same thing just happened to me because I was practicing my shotgun with a soda can and I accidentally cut off a sharp piece into the drink and Im afraid I may have swallowed it while chugging. The worst part is my parents are making it all about them and getting mad at me for having a panic attack for ruining their movie night. Its so upsetting because I have a very real fear (in my case because I was chugging) and they are belittling me and lecturing me. Its so stupid and It made my panick attack worse.

I haven't experienced this exactly, but similar things have happened to me surrounding food. I once accidentally ate a bug that was in my food and couldn't being myself to eat anything after that for pretty much the entire day because I was afraid there were bugs in everything else. I also like your profile pic btw

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 :(

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 :(

i was just looking in the fridge and there was some raw meat in a container but i didn’t know that it was meat so i opened the container to check what it was. and i don’t know if it was blood or if they were marinating it but a little bit of it got on my fingers and i wiped my hand on my clothes without thinking and then i just rinsed my hand in the sink, and thought it would be fine cause i only touched the container and i also wasn’t really sure if it was meat or not yet because i didn’t get a good look at it and i just kept doing what i was doing, but then i kept thinking about it and started realizing it wasn’t fine and went to wash my hands with soap and i didn’t know if i needed to change my clothes or not so i thought it was fine too and laid in my bed and stuff and now i realized that i should’ve changed my clothes and i did but now the bacteria could be on my bed and other places and i don’t remember everywhere i touched and i can’t think straight and im too scared to leave my room and wash everything in case of spreading it more and my dad and brother are drinking so they’re not gonna listen to me if i said to wipe everything out there and im just freaking out. i feel horrible for being so careless and i’m really scared that my pets and dad and brother will get sick because of me
