Can't take this any more

[Life and Lies]

As the title says...

I'm sitting on my bed, doing my hair, and I can't even put a hair grip in to hold my fringe back because I am so scaed that I am going to somehow poke my eye out. Normally, I can overcome it by concentrating on counting or something like that, but tonight its not working.

I have this this about somehow poking myself in the eye, I can't go near shelves in shops or those pointy railings in case I fall and they end up in my eyes. Its stupid, I KNOW its stupid, but i get almost paralysed with fear.

Its the same when I am walking with someone, I am terrified that I am going to trip them up or push them in the road. I literally cannot speak to them I have to concentrate so hard to ignore the thoughts. I know I am not going to do it, but something is telling me I am.

Does anyone else get like this? What's causing it?

Hey hun,
I don't know what's causing you to be like this. It could be anything. I've never had an experience like that before either. It's not stupid at all. It's good you were trying to concentrate on something else to try and take your mind off it and I'm sorry you're finding that difficult because you're scared of poking your eye out. Try and do something else where you won't have these thoughts if possible. Also if you've been having these thoughts for a while or they are getting worse I strongly think you should talk to someone and see if you could find out why you're having these thoughts? Take care xx
