I feel like overgrown child because I won't drink the tea I've made from a Tetley tea bag because they are not plastic free and got myself worked up before about it because I remember finding out that tea can contain heavy metals like lead. We did have plastic free clipper tea bags but now we just have Tetley because my nan drinks it.
I feel like bursting my eyes out because I've had a busy day, been overthinking about stuff and now I this. It's just pathetic. Sick of anxiety getting in the way not to do, eat or drink something because it might kill me. I remember I used be afraid of drinking from the house tap because of lead poisoning despite living in a country with clean drinking water.
We Autistics have a tendency of over analyzing things, its apart of our nature and nothing to be ashamed of.
Just a bit of unsolicited advice that you take of leave:
I've found that when I have my mind occupied with something like a project that I can intently focus on, those pesky little thoughts come around less often or go away all together.
I hope things calm down for you sometime soon.
