Worried I'm gross

No absolutely not. If I saw a roach directly on the foil I was pulling out then I wouldn't have wrapped the pizza in the first place. But I just kept getting the thoughts of contamination saying don't eat the pizza or don't save it after wrapping it. I had a slice and I don't feel ill, but the anxiety is killing me

@BigGyro09 I know. I can imagine. But you did everything right and you don’t present any physical symptoms of ailment, you took the precautions you needed to in order to live around your current situation. It’s okay to feel anxious about it, but you did what you needed to and you were careful. Remember that you were diligent and attentive, nothing bad is going to happen, you took charge and did what anyone else would’ve done. You needed to eat, you found a solution. Be proud of yourself. I hope you feel better. ❤️

Thanks.. I had the slices left in a pizza box but I used the aluminum foil to put them away. They didn't directly come in contact with the pizza at all but I get the thought that maybe they claimed all the way into the aluminum foil which I don't think they did. For all I know, they didn't make any contact with the foil whatsoever. I don't feel sick but I do feel the anxiety building up but I'm trying to let it pass.

@BigGyro09 It’s hard to sit with uncertainty I’m doing that right now. I promise it will be ok in fact this is so similar to my situation with mice I thought maybe there was a mouse dropping on a plate I had eaten off of from my cupboard a few years ago and I flipped out.. but nothing happened and I realized the uncomfortable feeling and overthinking it was worse than the actual situation

@Lolitamoon That helps a lot! I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling this way about contaminated food. I also have had moments in the past where I rinsed plates that may have had roaches on them and ate off the places. I don't feel sick or anything, so I think I'm okay. The anxiety has mostly gone away for me as well. The other possibility is that maybe the roach hadn"t even touched the foil as well. But then I'd feel like a really bad person if someone else would have the slice even though when I had it I was okay. Do you ever get those thoughts?

@BigGyro09 I’m glad! That’s a good indication that you will be fine too that you’ve eaten off plates that may have had them on there before. I have a fear of getting sick so I totally understand. But you won’t not from that. Yes I literally thought I was the only one like if I’m prepping food for someone or something like that I like check everything to make sure I’m giving them something that isn’t “ contaminated “ or “ out of date” I would feel really guilty even if I feel the slightest idea that it potentially could be expired or contaminated for some random reason

@Lolitamoon I keep trying to convince others that I should probably throw the food out since I think I may have saw a roach on the side of the drawer but they aren't taking the hint. Should I throw it away? Even if I seem fine? I don't know if the roach touched the aluminum foil since it was not directly out but it was open. I'm thinking maybe it could crawl in the box but I don't think it did because if it did it would have probably been stuck there. I don't know what to do.
