I had this thought a lot a year or two back and it came back today when I by accident touched a banana skin in a rubbish bag (was emptying a bin)

The thought is that the banana skin's radioactiveness makes me dangerous to be around for pets and people.

I can't shake this thought, it just won't go, even despite me using the tools the therapist I had last time taught me.

I washed my hands several times to try and get rid of the radioactiveness, idk if that worked to make the radioactiveness go away or if it made it worse and I spread it to my other hand

Is this thought right or is it a nonsense thought like the therapist told me last time it was?

Please make it go away, someone ....................

I hate obsessing like this

They want to destroy the human race though, my brain says so (and I used to like bananas until a thought about them being radioactive)

They took Ebony from me and they're coming for Tigger next.

Hey whisper, Those thoughts sound miserable. I promise you, they are only thoughts that are a symptom of the mental illness you battle with. There is no - absolutely no - true validity to the thoughts.

I've been fretting about other stuff today, not about bananas luckily.

Today's thought of the day is I don't deserve to have one good thing in my life that stays in my life

Are you seeing a therapist at the moment?
(I’m guessing not, as uk )

I promise you, you do deserve good things in your life that stay

Nope, the UK sucks for mental healthcare

Plus my work pattern doesn't allow for offline therapy sessions, work clashes with when therapists are available and I can't get into town on an evening, no buses at all
