I had to leave the fire service due to depression after suffering from this anxiety for a year. I still work 2 jobs currently to try keep busy but this asbestos fear is like a chain around my neck everywhere I go.
My current fear is walking over ceramic tiles in kitchen where there is a gap in floor and I can see some black material under the tiles and I put my bate foot on it by accident walking. I'm worried il contaminate my house. Can anyone put my mind at rest. Any advice on how to overcome this.
Maybe others could share some stories.
Thank you so much for reading
