Everything makes me anxious

Posted by ehdog @ehdog, Apr 21 12:56pm

I have OCD
And I constantly think people are lying

I obsess over carcinogens (I bought stuff from shein a year ago and still haven't opened it bc I heard there's carcinogenic stuff in it? I bought some acrylic stands, a few keychains, and a little plush)

I get annoyed easily due to it

I can't take reassurance. What do I do?

AliExpress is fine to use. I’d just avoid things like supplements or batteries since those can be lower quality or less reliable.

What's your opinion in like. Rat testing. I feel like it's ridiculous because like..they inject crazy amounts of x thing into rats and go "that must mean it causes cancer in humans!"
I mean obviously it's unethical to study like this on humans but rats genuinely just seem so prone to this stuff already and definitely moreso than humans. It feels like it isn't the best way to say what will happen to humans. I specifically understand testing on them in medical studies for... Well, medication. But things we don't even ingest or inject???

Also
I saw a stat that says 1/5 people will get cancer but 1/3 with a family member with cancer will get it. Is that true?
