Worried I'm killing my family via indoor clothes dryer

[WorrywartAus]

Am I going buts here?

I've been wanting to shift our dryer outside but hubby said there's nowhere to put it.

I've just read about the chemicals in fabric softeners being heated up, that shouldn't be released into the air.
I'm freaking out.
It's 3am and I can't sleep.
Have I already harmed us all?

I wish I could dry everything outside but we don't get enough sun in our yard.

Please help me wrap my mind around this. Is there anything I can do?

I will answer the questions I put in bold, by order of appearance.

1. Yes, your anxiety is driving you mad. Treat it.
2. No, you did not harm anybody.
3. Yes, go back to sleep, because nothing will happen.

Sweet dreams :)

Tbh you would need tons of that fabric softener in the air to cause problems, if you are still worried you can buy fabric sheets that are a lot better! You and your family will be fine I promise:yesyes: And Andrash is right sort out your HA before it takes over your life :) HTH ATB

I've just been forced to stop running.

I would run 3-4 times a week. It was working wonders for my mental health.
Now I have no time as hubby works too late and I've got the 1 & 3 year olds to take care of. :(
