I'm a Illness-aphobe... Just getting it off my chest.

Hello there!

Ever since I was a child I retain information. Some of it good, some of it fun, some of it scary. And the scary stuff, like information about illnesses and freak accidents. I'll read or even see a story in the news about some sort of freak accident and retain that, or I'll be doing research about a medical freak accident (like severe allergic reaction) for something else, not just "Dr. Googleing" and that information will pop out when I'm on edge. I have an obsessive personality (diagnosed by my councilor-pastor) so these easily turn into obsessions. I know they're not real, but that doesn't help sometimes.

And that's my anxiety! Whew, do I feel better!
