Hello. I am on a downward spiral. A couple of days ago was worried about my bladder. Now I have got my worst fear again in my head. ALS. I am convinced I am going to get it because I work with formaldehyde. I have read that there is a huge risk for people that work with this. But I love my job. My head is going to explode!
I don’t know if to leave my job. I love it but this worry is proving too much
You have a choice minion - you accept the risk and continue to love your job, or you find another one.Quote:

Hi guys. I am really panicking as I was exposed today for about 20 minutes. I hate this downward spiral. Totally convinced I am getting als.
Again, sort your fear out and enjoy your job, or find another one.Quote:

Thanks NoraB. I know only I can do this but it is so hard to snap out of it. One minute I want to resign and the next I know I will regret it forever!
This isn't something you can just 'snap out of' minion.Quote:

Resigning is the other choice, but it would only be a temporary fix. If you don't sort out the OCD, it will just reappear elsewhere.
