Does anyone else get intrusive thoughts about there being poison in their food? Even if I make something at home I get scared one of the ingredients was poisoned at the grocery store or that I didn't cook the meat properly. If fast food tastes different I get scared of there being poison or that it will hurt me. Last night I made homemade chicken noodle soup and I started getting panic attack symptoms right after eating it because I was scared. Does anyone else struggle with this?

    Actually, our Governor called a State of Emergency.  I pray that my electric doesn't go out.  I had already planned to stay home all weekend to recuperate from a cold and do online training for my job.  That will take many hours.  I am worried for the outside kitties.  I hope your weekend goes better for you.
