Trigger warning?? I can’t go near anything red usually because of a severe fear of blood. Worried it’s there and blending in. If I see any marks on stuff thats red or messes of something red I would automatically assume it’s blood and avoid it/can’t clean it up. For the longest time I wouldn’t even wear red clothes. Still can’t do red lipstick or nail polish. Does anyone else have this? Any suggestions on what I could do?? Red, strangely enough, has been my favorite color for a long time and OCD takes it away from me

I wish I could help!! I feel the same way about black (kinda). The color stresses me out and I have no clue why.

I’m the same actually! I can’t go near red though for slightly different reasons. I also can’t go near the number 6. I’ve tried to slowly start exposing myself to it for example I have a poster in my room with the number 6 on it and I’ve started to wear or incorporate the colour red into stuff I do for example when I draw. It’s about doing what’s right for you and making progress in your own time but you can do it!

I have the same with certain color

When I was little, I was involved in a very bad car accident while wearing a purple sweat suit. For years and I mean YEARS, I wouldn’t wear anything purple, touch anything purple, look at anything purple for fear that something would happen to my family. I still have a small twinge of fear when I buy something that has purple in it, but I now realize that was just part of my worry and had nothing to do with the accident.
