Toxoplasmosis?

[Grace360]

So I have a cat. For some reason her litter box is in the bathtub. Before we shower or bathe we have to take her thing out and clean it. I didn't have time for that. Showers induce anxiety but I need to get clean so I washed up. I did it outside the shower but I went back for the water. I was wetting my rag and I forgot to move the litter box for a little bit. I finally did move it but now I really worry about inhaling it and it doing something to me. Anybody else have cats or have had that be a fear? Between taking a "shower" and thinking about that, I'm just real worried now about that.

Are you pregnant or immunocompromised? If not, don't worry, IMO.

Feeling some things. I don't know if its a prolonged anxiety attack or what.
Weakness in the legs or wobbly legs feeling.
Feeling like my chest is hollow. Like my breathing is off or odd.
Lately I've been drinking things. Like I take a sip of something and I feel absolutely SICK to my stomach immediately. Its an odd sensation.
I feel breathless combined with all of these and it almost seems to exacerbate it all.

It's 100% anxiety. Last year, I had really REALLY bad health anxiety, like couldn't stop thinking about it at all, ever, went to a&e multiple times etc, and this is exactly how I felt. You overanalyse everything your body does, it's like when you think about breathing, you suddenly think you aren't breathing properly, or focusing on how you walk, it all suddenly feels very unnatural. It's not going to get any better until you start putting in an active effort to taking your mind off it, so try and keep busy, don't Google anything, if you feel like googling something then come here and post about it, that's what I do, it saves me from freaking myself out. Watch comedy shows, go walks, see friends, just keep your mind busy and realise that when you're not thinking about it, you don't feel these symptoms. You're okay, I promise, you're just experiencing severe anxiety. One day you won't feel like this anymore

A lot of what you've been feeling for quite some time. Does that tell you anything? It's not that easy to believe it's anxiety, but that's what it is. If it were something more it surely would've worsened by now.

Have had cats for years, litter box included. If inhaling cat litter fumes or dust caused problems, I would be a poster child for it. Still alive and kicking, reasonably healthy.
