Reassurance
Today once work was closed, this couple came to the door I was the only one there so I greeted them and explained we were closed and notice a cold sore on the lady’s lip. I have a HUGE phobia of cold sores and I’m constantly looking at peoples lips so I noticed right away. As soon as our conversation was over my thoughts just started going crazy “what if I accidentally touched it” even though I know I didn’t. Noticing cold sores puts me in such a weird mood I just shut down. I normally call my parents for reassurance however it’s late where they live and they are asleep. So I told my boyfriend but sometimes he doesn’t understand and as a joke said “are you sure you didn’t touch it” which only triggered my thoughts even more. I feel extremely sad, scared and just ruined my night I can’t stop thinking of it and I’m scared she’ll come back tomorrow and I’ll have to see her there. Idk what to do to feel better :( Any advice helps.
