And to me at the time everything seems 120% true and possible and I hate these anxiety inducing thoughts! Last night, I decided to change my username on another platform so that people couldn't look up that handle and find out where I live . Then I thought I'd gotten an email from this platform which is fairly common that said my payment info was going to expire and to update it. Well I knew the card I had used expired today so I updated it on this platform's site. Then I freaked out. Then I changed my password and the site asked if I wanted it to pick a strong password for me so I said yes. I wrote it down and was able to log in with it. But then I started to wonder if the email I got from the site saying my payment info needed updating was a phishing attempt! Because I clicked the link from the email. But I think it took me to the site's main page. Then last night I thought I'd look at that email again but I couldn't find it!! Was there no email or what was going on? Anyway. Then I logged in on my laptop and in the payment info it does NOT list my credit card number thank God! But I worry that changing my password was part of a phishing attempt and someone is going to log in and delete my account with treasured favorite things- many of them there. I even changed my handle on the site because it had been my first and last name and I do mention a city on that site that isn't where I live but close by.

See why I wake up with all this swirling in my head?? I've looked over the site and it seems like my account is safe but how can I be totally completely sure?

Is this all my brain's fault and it's all imaginary?

W hey does this sort of thing keep happening to me?? Is it my screwed up brain doing this? God I think I'll go take some prn haldol.
I know what you mean. I just deleted my amazon and reddit accounts the other day because I'm paranoid and I logged out of all my other accounts that have my info. My aunts facebook account got deleted for no reason and they won't tell her why. She then made another account which got deleted and then made one on a completely different computer on her husbands email and they deleted that one as well. Its just super strange and shes just like at a loss on what to do because facebook won't help her out at all and she really uses it to communicate with people.
