So....I haven't been on the site for quite a while, and thought that my health anxiety was under control....apparently that's not the case. I was cleaning my shower yesterday afternoon with a cleanser that contains bleach...while I was using it, my eyes felt irritated and the smell was very strong...I left the room as soon as I was done (probably no more than three or four minutes), but could still smell the bleach in my nose (if that makes sense). I did have the window open and the exhaust fan on, but now I'm totally freaking out thinking that I have poisoned myself. My throat feels scratchy and my nose feels irritated (although I did have cold/allergy symptoms already)....of course, I consulted Dr. Google and now I'm convinced that I've done permanent and serious damage to my respiratory system. Anyone been in a similar situation? I had a full-blown panic attack during the night and am having difficulty calming down today.
