Hi,
I suffer from paranoia disorder see it all
started when I was working at this nursing
home and this man was bleeding all over
his arm and I had pick him up but I cant
really remember to much after that I think
I had a Panic Attack. I ask the nurse did
he have any kind of transmitted dieases
and she said no I dont have anything to
worry about but I am still scard to death
it's effecting my everyday life, and now I
have develope this phobia I am scared to
touch everything especially in public I
dont use public restrooms anymore when I
see something red on me I freak out I
starting to think that everything I touch
has blood on it I seen some red crustie
stuff on my coat the other day and I freak
out because I didnt know what it was and
where it came form. and today I was
pumping gas and my gas cap fell on the
ground I was so scared to pick it up
because it was water on the ground from it
raining and I was thinking what if there's
blood on the ground,and I cant see it.
Many people are scared of blood and
can’t stand to be in contact with real
blood. In your case, fear of blood seems
to make you feel frightened even if you
see something similar to blood, like
something made of the color red. You might
be experiencing a phobia of blood.
"Phobia" is defined as an abnormal fear;
it is a kind of neurotic disorder that
requires medical attention from a mental
health doctor. You might want to talk to
a mental health professional to talk about
your phobia and consider ways to treat
it.
