I was seeing a shrink but I couldn't trust him, lol
I went through several docs before getting to one I felt I could actually trust. Psychologists only, I'll never trust a psychiatrist (aka "pill pusher") again! :sick:
It is one of the reasons I like this thread so much, "misery loves company".
Well, I'll share another one of mine then. I can't leave uncovered, unsealed, or open drinks or foods alone, because I'm afraid someone will put something in them. There are very few exceptions to this rule. If I'm home, by myself, and the door is locked, its fine to leave things and come back to them. Certain longtime friends and immediate family I can trust. If I'm around people I only "kind of" know, I can't do it. If I have an open soda or water at work, it has to come with me everywhere because I don't trust any of those people.
If I go to get groceries and pick up hot food on the way home (by that, I mean "fast" non sealed food) I have to bring the hot food in by itself, lock the door when I leave to get the other stuff, and continue unlocking and re-locking my apartment door until everything is safely inside. If I don't lock the door, someone will run inside and tamper with my food.
I realize how stupid that sounds. And despite KNOWING that its just not true, I continue to throw away nominal amounts of food or drinks that leave my line of sight for even fractional periods of time. Even if its just a minute, i'll come back, see the item, realize what i've done, and have a mini-panic attack
mg:
Most of the stuff nowadays gets thrown because I get a big head and start thinking, "not this time, I'm done being that way", and 5 minutes later whatever it was goes straight in the trash (or recycling bin if applicable, I'm not a monster for fucks sake!).
Despite this, I've managed to maintain a fairly convincing veneer of a sane person.
:trance:
