Ongoing worry

[Grace360]

I've been afraid of sepsis for a while so I worry of course. I guess I should preface this and say that this is a lady bit issue I'm having. Cysts down there. Now the gyno I went to once its completely normal but its a compulsion to pop cysts and pimples, for me at least. Only if it feels ready. I try to keep it clean but it doesn't seem like its enough. I don't know if its an ingrown or what. I can make a gyno appointment I just don't wanna seem crazy by asking for one. Doesn't help the symptoms I have sometimes. Dizziness among other things. I have real bad allergies because I switched my cats cat food so I convince myself I'm sick. It just all sucks really.

I thought your mom looked at your cyst and said it’s fine? And you have allergies because you switched your cat’s food? How does that cause you to have allergies? I could see your cat developing an allergy to the new cat food, but not you, unless you are eating it? Grace, that doesn’t even make sense, not even anxiety can explain that one.

There is a special food you can feed your cat that is supposed to help with human cat allergies. It helps keep a cats dander low which is what people are often allergic to.

So many people get infections from cuts, etc, and sepsis is quite rare. This is something you should work thru in therapy, because you really need to change your thought patterns with this one. Repeated reassurance isn’t going to help because next time you get a different kind of cut/scrape/injury you will worry again.

I have allergies yes. I'm allergic to my cat. I used to feed her cat food that reduced the allergens in her dander, so I didn't sneeze or anything. If I don't feed her that my anxiety is pretty bad because the allergies are so intense they can mimic sickness.

not sure how old you are but if you’re sexually active STDs are always possible you should probably go get test done. I’m pretty sure it’s nothing but that might help you feel a little bit better. Also not to get too personal sometimes girls have sensitive skin especially when shaving so definitely talk to a gynecologist to help you through .
